Express Pharma, in partnership with Schneider Electric, recently organised a webinar on ‘Smart Pharma Packaging Technologies’ with an aim to support the pharma packaging fraternity, spanning technology solution providers as well as end-user industry experts, as they navigate through a fresh set of challenges and opportunities in a rapidly shifting landscape.
Viveka Roychowdhury, Editor, Express Pharma & Express Healthcare, the moderator, commenced the event by introducing the two keynote speakers and the two technical experts.
Setting the context for the discussion, she said, “The world is digitally transforming even as we speak and pharma packaging is keeping pace, getting smarter by the day. Be it the COVID-19 vaccines to be stored and transported at temperatures as varied as -20o Celsius to -80o Celcius or protecting insulin from counterfeiters with the latest serialisation technologies. The need for a smart supply chain is becoming more crucial and therefore the need for smart packaging.”
Subsequently, Chakravarthi AVPS, Global Ambassador, World Packaging Organisation, the first keynote speaker gave a very insightful presentation on a thought-provoking topic, ‘Do we really need smart packaging?’
He elaborated on global trends and recent advancements in smart pharma packaging through pertinent examples of solutions that are being adopted globally.
