Benefits of the Memo3 IIoT Pharma Security
Increase supply chain and customer safety
Decentral real-time analysis
Easy, scaleable and cost-effective solution
Technology
Memo3 IIoT Pharma Security evolves around an innovative application of near-infrared (NIR) scanners connected to a cloud. Depending on its chemical makeup, a target substance reflects a unique light pattern in the NIR spectrum. This can be captured and compared to a previously established model in the cloud. The result is a very reliable degree of certainty about the actual components of the target substance.
Project approach
Technical & Commercial Due Dilligence
Initially hardware and software requirements are assessed and the solution tested with a rental device. This phase also includes a DD and building a business case for management decision.
Proof of Concept
During the next phase a secure, compliant, cloud-based database is established as the backbone of the solution. This can be provided or established within the customers environment. Data science and AI are used to build prediction models to capture the manufacturing variability of solid drugs of a given pharmaceutical company produced in different dosages, raw materials, and locations. In the field, a sample can be authenticated using a mobile analytical drug screening device containing a spectral sensor that transmits and within seconds receives the results utilizing the database via a smartphone app. The solution allows in principle anybody to verify a sample’s authenticity within minutes.
Roll-Out and Scale-up
If the PoC is successful the roll-out and further integration in the organization is supported.
Solution components
Cloud and App (iOS + Android)
The large devices is applied at the manufacturing side and used for model generation and product QC or release
The portable scanner allows cost effective, large-scale decentral measurement.
The secure cloud environment manages models and users
Success Story of a Pharma Customer
Trade in falsified medicine poses a significant threat to people worldwide. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals are a global problem especially faced by Asia, Africa and South America, causing around 1 million preventable deaths every year.
Challenge
- Previously suspect drugs had to be shipped to 1 of only 4 testing centers globally
- Transportation, customs & other delays meant that, on average, six weeks were needed between receiving and authenticating a sample.
Solution
- The company enabled the real-time local detection of falsified medicines and strengthen the integrity of their supply chain.
- Authentication time is now cut to a matter of days.
- A secure, cloud-based database uses data science and AI to ensure product authenticity.
- In the field samples can be authenticated using a sensor and results transmitted to a database via a smartphone.
- Trained employees can verify authenticity
within minutes.
