Meeting the needs of the US Drug Supply Chain with IoT

Session Abstract:

t systems logoThe FDA is halfway through the implementation timeline for the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). The goal of this law is to provide an ‘inter-operable’ solution that can identify and track and trace pharmaceutical products throughout the US Supply Chain, and to ensure the safety and security of all medicines we take today. We will answer how does IoT devices expand from basic track and trace to actively monitoring drugs in-transit and provide alerts and alarms from the norms. How does IoT data plus machine learning and blockchain improve drug recalls, reduce waste and fraud, and ultimately optimize operations.

Your key takeaways from this session include:

  1. How does IoT devices improve the pharmaceutical logistics operations (shipment visibility)?
    – Capabilities include: Determining product theft – shipment deviation – how alerts happen in near real-time
    – Based on real customer applications of IoT devices.
  2. Understand how IoT provides more that just track and trace. How on-board sensors provide ‘condition’ monitoring of your shipments.
    – Benefits include: Assessing product quality ‘during’ shipments
    – Will share the results from multiple deployments of actual applications
  3. How IoT data is used with Machine Learning and Blockchain for a holistic view of the supply chain.
    – Benefits include: Moving from alerts and alarms to ‘improved’ decision support for the end-user; securing the IoT data with shipment data within a Blockchain, and how this supports the goals of the FDA DSCSA law.
    – We will examine results from a ‘pilot’ program that ‘integrates’ all of these applications into an optimal solution for the industry.
