Systech International announces new software for SPT application

Sep 14 2009

Systech International, innovator of Packaging Execution Systems (PES) for the pharmaceutical industry, today announced the availability of a new software release for its widely-deployed Serialized Product Tracking (SPT) application.

The third-generation release expands Systech's SPT functionality to include key packaging use cases that occur off the line, but that are critical to customers' serialization initiatives. Systech refers to these as its "near-line" use cases. The new release also includes functionality that helps test integration between enterprise systems and packaging without jeopardizing line utilization. This capability, which emulates the line environment for testing purposes, helps customers address bi-directional communications between packaging and enterprise information technology environments.

"Systech's wide deployment of SPT gives us a unique understanding of what serialization really requires," said Joe Ringwood, COO, Systech International. "Manufacturers are taking advantage of the configurable nature of the Systech solution. Our unique approach allows customers to deploy consistent software and take advantage of new software releases throughout their global packaging operations. For example, SPT can support a blister line in China, a vial line in France and a bottling line in North America, all of which may have very different regulatory requirements."

This software release demonstrates Systech's commitment to continually invest in solutions that meet the evolving demands placed on packaging operations. Systech will continue to deepen functionality while ensuring the adaptable, replicable, scalable solutions that manufacturers require.

"We need the ability to reconfigure and adapt for a variety of products from multiple manufacturers," said Rick Seibert, Vice President Business Development, Sharp Corporation. "We have found immense value in optimizing a configurable solution. It spares us from having to customize solutions for each of our manufacturers' packaging needs. It is important to work with a partner who understands diverse use cases and who is advancing their software to meet our dynamic packaging requirements."
