Pharmaceuticals Focus on Efficiency & Preventing Counterfeiting<br />
The pharmaceucal world is embracing robots as well, moving away from tradional tablet handling systems such as slat fillers, to<br />
pick-and-place robots that provide more accuracy and control in <strong>the</strong> placement of tablets and capsules.<br />
Serializaon and an-counterfeing technologies for pharmaceucal producon had a clear presence at <strong>the</strong> show, largely because<br />
of California’s 2015 serializaon deadline. Blister packaging lines are becoming smaller and more compact, reflecng a tendency<br />
toward more specialized, smaller paent populaons for new prescripon medicaons.<br />
Retail Ready Packaging<br />
Retail-ready packaging (RRP) has become commonplace in just a few years. Today, creang RRP is a common capability among<br />
manufacturers of case packers. Largely, that’s because US retailers demand case put ups that require fewer touches (by store<br />
clerks) and can be replenished quickly.<br />
“We picked up some really good, quality leads. The people we have met at this show have been people we<br />
would not have met o<strong>the</strong>rwise.” — Craig Saltz, Design/Sales, Salbro Bottle<br />
