In hardly 3 years, 2016, the European pharmaceutical industry will have to fulfil with the new community rule antifalsificación FMD (2011/62/EU). This means important changes that will affect to the lines of production of said companies to enter new characteristics of hygiene, between them the serialización only of each case of medicine. Like this it exposed it Bart Vansteenkiste, EU Life Sciences Sector manager of Dominate, the past 19 June in a day organised by Empack Madrid and the Foundation Itene (Technological Institute of the Packaging, Transport and Logistical) in the Hotel Silken Door of America of Madrid.

To the day, titled ‘Packaging Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical', assisted half hundred of professionals of direct sectors or indirectly related with both sectors. In his report ‘How avoid the fake of medicines', Vansteenkiste explained that, although the managerial FMD still has not moved to the national legislation of 16 European countries, between them Spain, the EU already has warned that will set up procedures of infringement in brief to force said transposition. Of equal way, in less than a year (before March of 2014) will specify the technical characteristics (Delegated Acts) that will delimit which are the exact specifications that it will have to include the pharmaceutical industry to fulfil with the new normative.

Independently of these administrative ‘steps', Vansteenkiste commented that the characteristics of hygiene that have to implant are defined, by what the companies have to pose “very seriously and of immediate form” prepare his projects, begin with the selection of providers and consultores to happen what before to the phases of implementation of solutions and technologies to the lines, first of pilot form and later to the finals, a process that can lengthen during two or three years.

A project of such envergadura involves so much to internal personnel like external of the pharmaceutical companies. They have to work in narrow relation so many technical directors as of production, of IT, of marketing or of quality, to which add providers of solutions of coding, of systems of camera, of software, envasadores, providers of systems ERP-MONTH-WMS and consultores.

To facilitate this task and can fulfil with the imminent continental rule, reassured Bart Vansteenkiste, Dominate has already under way from does months the Group FMD, a multidisciplinary team European that works hand manually with the main companies involved in the pharmaceutical sector.

Said team, in which it participates actively Vansteenkiste and is headed by Craig Stobie, Global Life Sciences Sector Manager of Dominate, this working to adapt and even develop new technological solutions of coding that allow of the most efficient form and simple fulfil with the normative FMD. Said work is based in decades of experience of Dominate in other geographic areas of the world in where already they have advanced with similar rules (Turkey, France, India, United States, etc.). The technologies of labeling chosen vary in function of the substrata in where they have to work, but base mainly in inkjet, inkjet thermal sensors, laser, termotransferencia thermal sensors and impressesion and application of labels, all this controlled by an able software to adapt and integrate in any type of line of production and system of gestión ERP.
