Project Description:
Pedigree Serialization
The
Pedigree Serialization solution is responsible for pedigree life cycle and
serial number management at cardinal distribution centres as per California
state pedigree law. The functionality provided by the pedigree management
module includes receiving electronic pedigrees, authenticating pedigree, moving
the pedigree through different states, transmitting outbound pedigrees and
digitally certifying pedigrees. The functionality provided by the serial number
module includes updating the disposition of serialized items as they transition
through the re ceive, pick, pack and ship processes. We used inference modal to
read prescription drug RFID chips. RFID antennae were integrated to Websphere
Sensor Events (WSE). WSE reads the read coming from RFID chips and sends it to
its read handler where it gets processed and sensor event is formed. This
sensor event is then processed by our EJB component to build EPCIS event and
send it to Event Management System (IRIS).
This
project was deployed in production in three different phases. In the first
phase of this project electronic pedigree was kept out of scope and only ASN
processing was in scope. Second phase of this project included electronic
pedigree also. Third phase of this project was for SPD (Specialized Pharmacy
Division) Consginment which involved tracking of some costly drugs which needs
to be stored in low temperature all the time. SPD Consignment has nothing to do
with California Pedigree law but since we were using the same event managment
system we clubed the two project.
