Consider how these events will be captured at your third-party agents, including your Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO), Contract Packaging Organization (CPO), or Third-Party Logistics providers (3PLs). Work with them to arrange for getting the foundational serialized information you need to assemble the serialized transaction data you will subsequently need.
Aggregation will be necessary to avoid scanning every single unit (child) when shipping a higher-level homogenous unit (parent) as in the situation of a case, bundle, or pallet.
Engage solution providers for warehouse and serialization management.
Update standard operating procedures to integrate serialization data quality checks in your packaging and distribution processes to ensure physical product and data alignment.
During packaging, check commissioned serial numbers with your batch quantity.
At the time of shipment, check product identifiers against the EPCIS data files received from your supplier and the product’s current status.
