2. Create a seamless work environment by connecting employees
with accurate information, and empower them to do their best.
Whether on the production line, in the warehouse or at the dock,
better data means fewer errors and lower costs.Handheld Computers
and Tablet PCs Todays pharmaceutical manufacturing environment
demands the convenience of a conventional computer in a portable,
handheld device. Access to data while on the move ensures
information is accessible in real-time while increasing mobility
and productivity beyond the office to the production floor.
VisionID supply and support a range of mobile devices from the
worlds leading manufacturers of these product ranges including
Motorola, Symbol, Intermec, Honeywell and Xplore. Intrinsically
Safe/ATEX approved equipment Intrinsic Safety (IS) and ATEX
approved is a concept developed for operation of electronic
equipment in hazardous environments. For some pharmaceutical
manufacturers the need for handheld devices to comply with dust
zone 21 or 22 atmospheres, as well as gas zone 1 environments, is
paramount. The diverse range of intrinsically safe and ATEX
approved equipment available from VisionID means that we can cater
for your specialised needs for hazardous area electronic equipment
for both maintenance and production purposes. At VisionID we have
teamed with the leading manufacturers of ATEX approved products
including Stahl, Gecma and Bartec.Wireless LAN for Manufacturing
The VisionID portfolio of wireless solutions enables both process
and discrete manufacturing environments to access, move and manage
any type of information including voice, video and data in real
time. Combine Wireless LAN enabled handheld computers and bar code
technologies with applications from market leading automation
partners to streamline your manufacturing processes. By creating a
more seamless flow of continuous, accurate information, youll
experience fewer errors and improve production within your
facility. VisionID supply and support Wireless LAN solutions from
the worlds leading manufacturers including Cisco and
Motorola/Symbol Labelling Solutions:LabellingVisionID provides both
in-stock and custom-made label solutions for a multiple of
applications within themanufacturing environment. From full colour
finished product to warehouse shipping labels, VisionID has itall.
We offer a wide range of combinations to ensure optimum print
quality as well as best adhesive contact.VisionIDs dedicated Media
Specialist can advise on best label solution for your product.
Cleanroom LabellingVisionIDs cleanroom labelling supplies meet the
rigorous standards for printing solutions in cleanroomenvironments,
labels that will deliver consistent performance in spite of
exposure to chemicals, moisture andeven extreme high and low
temperatures. VisionID supply labels to hold up to the harsh
conditions thrown atthem through autoclave and cryogenic
treatments.This line of labels answers the call for environmental
purity in a broad range of manufacturing environments,from
biotechnology laboratories to breweries. The solutions meet the
cleanroom needs of virtually allindustries, including
pharmaceutical, automotive, aerospace, and electronics.Label
Printers A complete range of label printers are available to
compliment the on-demand label printing requirement of a busy
pharmaceutical manufacturing plant. Desktop, mobile, mid-range and
high end printers are available to ensure prompt, accurate and
legible labels are produced for all applications from end product
on-pack labels to warehouse shipping labels and tags. VisionIDs
list of label printer manufacturers include Zebra, Intermec,
Datamax and Toshiba..Barcode Scanners & Fixed Position Scanners
Whether it corded or cordless, rugged or general purpose VisionID
has the barcode scanner that is right for your task. From simple
handheld units that are the workhorse of busy manufacturing
facilities to more sophisticated fixed position laser and vision
based barcode scanners for controlling material flows on conveyor
systems.Machine Vision Systems If your requirement is to Locate,
Measure, Inspect or Identify then VisionID has the solution you
require. Machine Vision is the technology to replace or compliment
the manual inspection and measurement process through sophisticated
digital camera and image processing technology. Vision sensors and
smart cameras allow for accurate processing in a vast range of
applications. VisionID has partnered with manufacturers SICK,
Microscan and Cognex to deliver the best in class machine vision
systems available today. 3. RFID for Pharmaceutical Applications
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) solutions for pharmaceutical
applications provide a number of benefits including strong
counterfeit protection and a complete track and trace solution. By
augmenting existing bar code technology with RFID the
pharmaceutical manufacturer can create an electronic pedigree for
every product. An electronic pedigree contains a full account of
how a specific product (such as bottle of pills) moves through the
supply chain to the customer, identifying unique information such
as serial number, lot number and expiration date. The benefits of
RFID technology to the pharmaceutical sector includes increased
brand protection through anti-counterfeiting technology, improved
operational efficiencies and improved data accuracy and
integrity.Direct Part Marking Solutions Tracking individual
components or simply tagging valuable assets can be a costly
proposition when standard product labelling techniques fail to
measure up over time. Direct Part Marking (DPM) provides a
permanent marking solution that ensures readability throughout the
life of your asset or products, even when subjected to harsh
environments. The most common methods of marking are Laser-etching,
Dot peening, Ink-jet and Chemical-etching and the method of etching
is dependant on the material to be marked, the required lifespan,
accessibility of area to be marked etc. VisionID technicians can
advise on best permanent marking solution for your productService
and Support VisionID not only guarantee great products but can
support each through service contracts that will provide added
benefit through preventative maintenance and breakdown cover. Our
dedicated Service and Support Department can offer consultancy on
configuration and set up as well as a range of on-site and return
to base services. CASE STUDY Our dealings with VisionID have been
very positive. The job they completed for us exactly met our
requirements. I would have no problem in recommending them. The
Requirement As with any world-class pharmaceutical manufacturing
facility the requirement for state of the art scanning and printing
equipment would prove paramount. Secondary to this requirement was
a reliable in-country supplier who could advise on the best
equipment to allow smooth integration of production, warehouse and
back office processes. As well as a focus on actual production
facility within the Cork plant there was also a requirement to
automate the warehouse facility to accurately monitor and reconcile
throughput of in-bound ingredients and out-bound finished products.

are an essential tool for todays modern warehouse and combine a
mixture of handheld computers and wearable technology.The
pharmaceutical warehouse is a busy place with large volumes of data
being processed and an emphasis on speed, control and accuracy. The
key to a healthy supply chain is real-time, total visibility
solutions that effectively manage all of the integrated operations
that are required on a daily basis. Inbound goods must be processed
quickly, with pertinent data being recorded and then sent to the
warehouse management system. Outbound finished goods must be loaded
and shipped according to the shipping order, and pallet data is
again captured and transmitted to the warehouse management
system.The pharmaceuticalwarehouse managers andemployees can keep
trackof every item as they arrive,where items are located andwhen
items depart using awarehouse management A Wireless LAN network
will transmit data in real-time to tracksystem that incorporates
inventory and warehouse processes. When a barcode is scanned,mobile
