Smart CAPA management through RFID sample tracking for pharmaceutical quality assurance

When it comes to the safety, quality and traceability of production processes, the requirements in hardly any industry are as high as in the pharmaceutical industry.

Comprehensive documentation requirements and many other legal requirements must be complied with at all times. Accordingly, the highest quality standards are applied to data quality and sample tracking.

Regulatory authorities such as the FDA conduct unannounced inspections of pharmaceutical production. Their sanctions for regulatory violations range from the dispatch of the so-called "FDA Warning Letter" to the prohibition of a drug. With increasingly complex medical products, corrective and preventive action (CAPA) helps to ensure the highest quality standards in the pharmaceutical industry. Contactless identification solutions based on RFID enable high safety and quality standards to be maintained and seamless documentation to be implemented without the expense and error sources of manual systems – both in existing and new plants.

TURCK's RFID systems allow you to achieve consistent sample tracking and optimize your production processes. In addition, you ensure compliance with the ICH Q10 Guideline, which describes the requirements for a comprehensive pharmaceutical quality system and also includes the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). You get complete transparency through real-time data to make your production safe, efficient and compliant.

TURCK's digital automation technologies ensure maximum data integrity. Results outside the specification are thus ruled out: reproducible product quality, sustainable CAPA (corrective and preventive actions) and faultless GMP!

Safety: enhanced CAPA through digitalization solutions with RFID

From tamper-proof monitoring of hose connections to reliable protection against counterfeiting – with TURCK's digitalization solutions, you can implement corrective and preventive measures without manual processes. The use of state-of-the-art technologies ensures optimized production processes, prevents deviations and enables targeted prevention of issues. Irregularities are detected at an early stage, thus minimizing downtime. In this way, RFID systems not only ensure smooth production but also strengthen your competitiveness.

Cost savings: HF bus mode – including Ex zone 1/21

Whether for coupling stations, paint cartridges, format changes or tool changes — RFID applications with many read/write devices are often expensive and require significant installation and maintenance effort because of the necessary hardware. TURCK solves this challenge with HF bus mode. This function allows up to 32 HF devices to be connected to each RFID port. Together with the encapsulated TN-R42/TC-Ex HF RFID reader, the world's only read/write device for direct use in Zone 1/21, line topology can even be used in hazardous areas.

Webinar on quality assurance (CAPA) in the pharmaceutical industry using RFID

How can the quality standards and documentation requirements of pharma and biopharma production be implemented efficiently? What role can smart RFID systems play in quality assurance and in meeting FDA requirements? These and other questions were addressed in the webinar "Quality assurance (CAPA) in the pharmaceutical industry using RFID".

André Ammann, Key Account Manager Pharma Europe at TURCK, spoke with the following experts after a 15-minute introductory presentation:

  • Heinz Janiec contributes his knowledge from more than 30 years of project work in the pharmaceutical, oil and gas industries, now as Managing Director of the project engineering firm Specialty Engineering.
  • Thomas Menze is responsible at VDI for the specialist area "Applications of Measurement and Automation Technology".
