Abstract
This paper provides principles and proposals of the Track & Trace system for purposes of serialization integration in drug identification in pharmaceutical industry. Common principles of industrial product marking are introduced with special part of 2-D Data Matrix code which has been recommended by GS1 consortium for pharmaceutical purposes. The principles of saving production data during whole supply chain between manufacturer and customer to local authority systems will be shown as well. Later chapters uncover some overlooked problems of T&T implementation process and describe suitable methods that minimize risks of failures of final implementation project. Following the theoretical analysis of technology Track & Trace and serialization will be processed as practical methodology.
