In today’s evolving regulatory landscape, businesses must ensure product authenticity, safety, and traceability across the entire supply chain to meet EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements. A robust DPP Track and Trace system is essential—not only for complying with DPP regulations but also to enhance supply chain transparency, prevent counterfeiting, and build consumer trust. Hicof’s high-performance machines and software, integrated with the innovative AMACENA Software, deliver a cloud-based solution that ensures real-time product tracking, reduces human error, and supports sustainable practices by providing essential product data for the DPP.
Businesses today carry the critical responsibility of managing the entire lifecycle of products—from manufacturing and packaging to distribution and retail. As global supply chains become more complex and regulations evolve, companies must adopt advanced technologies to ensure product integrity and compliance with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and EU Digital Product Passport (DPP)
DPP Track and Trace systems offer end-to-end visibility across the supply chain, supporting the DPP’s transparency and traceability requirements. Hicof’s solution, built on high-performance machines and software, integrates seamlessly into every aspect of product tracking without the complexity of managing separate components. This streamlined system not only meets but exceeds the requirements of the DPP, ensuring comprehensive product data throughout its lifecycle
Global regulations demand robust traceability and compliance for various industries. A compliant DPP Track & Trace solution ensures:
Complete Traceability: Each product is assigned a unique identifier, ensuring precise tracking throughout its lifecycle.
Audit Readiness: Automated reporting and immutable audit trails support inspections and regulatory submissions.
Risk Mitigation: Early detection of anomalies helps prevent counterfeit or unauthorized products from entering the market.
A comprehensive DPP Track and Trace system protects against counterfeit products and unauthorized distribution. With real-time monitoring and data integration, businesses gain:
Full Visibility: Transparent insights into the movement of every product from origin to end user.
Quick Response: Immediate alerts and rapid issue resolution reduce the impact of deviations.
Enhanced Control: Ongoing monitoring ensures the smooth operation of all supply chain processes.
A DPP Track & Trace system also boosts operational performance beyond compliance and security:
Automation: Automated data capture reduces errors and accelerates processing.
Cost Savings: Streamlined operations and reduced downtime lead to significant cost efficiencies.
Scalability: Cloud-based technology easily adapts to increasing production volumes and evolving business needs.
The Amacoder delivers a very high coding quality as shown in the image.
The reason for this high coding quality is as follows:
Hicof is renowned for its advanced solutions in product serialization and traceability. Our high-performance machines and integrated software are designed to work together seamlessly, providing businesses with unmatched reliability and efficiency in implementing Digital Product Passports (DPP). This comprehensive approach ensures precise tracking and compliance across the entire product lifecycle, supporting industries in meeting regulatory requirements and enhancing supply chain transparency.
Unlike solutions that rely on disparate systems, Hicof’s machines and software are developed in-house. This integrated approach means:
Every element of our system is 100% designed and built in Switzerland—a country renowned for its precision engineering and rigorous quality standards. This commitment to Swiss manufacturing ensures that:
At the core of our DPP Track & Trace solution is the innovative AMACENA Software — a cloud‑based platform designed to revolutionize how serialization data is managed and utilized.
AMACENA is built from the ground up for the cloud, offering a host of benefits:
One of AMACENA’s standout features is its robust 4‑eye principle change process. This critical security measure requires any changes to serialization‑relevant data to be reviewed and approved by two authorized users. Benefits include:
User experience is a top priority for AMACENA:
Implementing a comprehensive Pharma MAH Track & Trace solution like Hicof’s brings a multitude of advantages for MAHs:
Automated Reporting: Seamless integration with compliance databases for effortless reporting.
Immutable Audit Trails: Every update is securely logged, ensuring full traceability.
Global Standards: Keeps pace with evolving regulatory frameworks.
End-to-End Traceability: Unique product identifiers track goods throughout their lifecycle.
Counterfeit Prevention: Authentication mechanisms safeguard against fraud.
Real-Time Alerts: Swift identification and resolution of supply chain issues.
Optimized Workflows: Reduces downtime and simplifies data integration.
Cost Savings: Automation minimizes manual interventions and errors.
Scalability: Cloud-based systems adapt to business growth.
Sustainability Assurance: DPPs showcase eco-friendly credentials.
Enhanced Transparency: Detailed product information fosters trust.
Data Security: Encryption and access controls protect sensitive information.
Hicof AMACENA features a build-in web based label creator to create and adjust all print layouts for AMACODERS, and all connected tertiary label printers. The label creator allows GMP compliant change control of all label parameters across the enterprise.
To fully leverage the benefits of Hicof’s DPP Track & Trace solution, a structured implementation process is key. Here’s a step‑by‑step guide to ensure successful deployment:
The HICOF Machines offer in combination with AMACENA an integrated IT-backbone, starting at machine level from the devices as printers, cameras and sensors up to data interfaces of governmental servers. In case of an issue, our experts have instantaneously access through remote access to all relevant parameters across all IT-servers down to the PLC, allowing a seamless and immediate support. This is the opposite of the conventional ISA-95 environment with several software and machine suppliers in which each service engineer has only access to his fraction of data, making a comprehensive root cause analysis extremely cumbersome as he has to synchronize with other involved vendors.
Hicof solves the issue by offering
One System, One Supplier, One Responsibility!
