Business Description

Transparent and secure packaging processes in the pharmaceutical industry
As a specialist for Track & Trace Solutions, Pharmacontrol Electronic GmbH ("PCE") has offered intelligent optical inspection systems for more than 20 years. These provide the highest possible safety for procedures in the pharmaceutical packaging industry. Reliable, fast code-reading technology, coupled with the latest integrated camera controls are tailored to the specifics of pharmaceutical packaging, ensure smooth handling of quality control in packaging. The result is seamless integration into the packaging process.

A strong group guarantees reliable products and service from one source
Since August 2011 the company has joined the METTLER TOLEDO Group, a leading supplier of precision instruments with a global sales and service network. As a result of the merger we can now offer you, our users, high quality, modular and standardized Track and Trace systems, along with other key solutions for product inspection in packaging processes (such as checkweighers, metal detectors, x-ray inspection systems), from a single source. You can also rely on a global service offer and reliable partnership.

Multi-level and integrated solutions for product traceability
The market demands reliable traceability from the manufacturer to the pharmacy. Proposed regulatory legislation will require all manufacturers of pharmaceutical products to implement appropriate security systems to prevent drug counterfeiting. PCE control systems ensure the correct labeling and serialization, starting from individual products and continuing through to aggregation into bundles, cartons and pallets. The PCE Pilot software ensures proper system control and data exchange with higher-level systems. Since our systems are modular and standardized, you can retrofit your process to match your requirements while protecting existing investments.

The competent partner for optical quality inspection
In addition, or in combination with dedicated Track and Trace systems, PCE has for years successfully been offering other solutions and components for optical quality inspection tasks in the pharmaceutical industry and in other sectors (e.g. blister checking, tablet checking, large-area label checking).
