Fully automated packaging line with Track & Trace solution for Phytopharm by Romaco and SoftGroup
- Industry: Life Sciences & Health Care
Achieved rejection rate with no impact on throughput
The Situation
Phytopharm Klęka S.A. is part of The Nature Network® Holding. As a subsidiary based in Poland, the company is a cutting-edge pharmaceutical manufacturer of active substances and plant extracts to produce drugs and dietary supplements, as well as finished products made primarily from natural ingredients.
Phytopharm Klęka S.A. is recognized as one of the most advanced production facilities in the country and provides the European and CIS markets with high-quality products.
The modern facility reaches its high-volume production goals by introducing high levels of process automation on a plant level involving innovative software technologies and the most advanced equipment available.
To become compliant with the most complex Track & Trace requirements so far (the crypto markets’ regulations), Phtyopharm Klęka S.A. equips its production with a fully automated packaging line with Track & Trace solution by Romaco and SoftGroup – a winning combination between high-efficient hardware and highly reliable software.
Our Approach
Implementing high automation levels of manufacturing and packaging processes were considered as one of the highest priorities of the Senior Management of Phytopharm Klęka S.A.
The company has opted for a fully automated production and packaging line with serialization and aggregation to maintain the highest possible throughput. This highly specific demand has been achieved with minimum footprint by choosing the equipment of ROMACO and software by SoftGroup.
This combination ensures Phytopharm with a complete non-aseptic liquid filling, capping, labeling, cartoning, and case packing line for syrups by Romaco and serialization and aggregation software for management of the data on all levels (machine, packaging, site, enterprise, network) by SoftGroup.
Project Essentials
For achieving the complex modernization was established integration into the fully automated Romaco packaging line with zero effect on its current architecture, capacity, efficiency.
Meanwhile, a customized ERP integration was in place for ensuring an automated connection to SoftGroup® SaTT software as well as an automated export to the customer’s warehouse system.
Track & Trace Readiness
Despite the fast-changing Track & Trace requirements in 2020, and up to date with the latest regulations cryptographic protection codes request/receive/import/report process was established via SoftGroup® SaTT Cloud solution, connected to the specific cryptomarket national systems.
Serialization & Aggregation Setup
The 2D Data Matrix with necessary higher hardware and software requirements for printing and verification was set with verification of dynamic elements using Romaco and SoftGroup’s camera vision systems simultaneously.
Additionally, the company was provided with a fully automated aggregation solution with the specific cryptomarket 2D codes and automated label printing.
The Results
Fully adapted services to the existing production processes without affecting the production capacity
Secured communication between the business partners and all existing systems (ERP, Warehouse, etc.)
Fully compliant with European ans CIS region regulations
High production speed with no negative impact and low rejection rate: less than 1%
End-to-End Aggregation Advantage
As required by CIS region’s regulations and widely discussed for implementation in Europe, aggregation provides major operational advantages.
The system aggregates standard and custom case sizes and scans, verifies, and aggregates a single pack into a case in just a few seconds.
“SoftGroup is characterized by a high level of services, reliability and business integrity. We recommend SoftGroup as a competent, responsible and professional partner for serialization and aggregation.”
