Antares Vision has purchased the assets of the French company Adents High Tech International in a transaction valued at €1.5 million.
Adents, a leading provider of premier, versatile serialization and track & trace solutions, is launching an online demonstration tool showcasing Adents Prodigi, a Cloud traceability solution that centrally manages pharmaceutical serialization regulatory requirements across a comprehensive set of production and supply chain scenarios. The new, free tool can be accessed by current and prospective Adents customers at www.adents-prodigi.com.
Adents has become an official Certified Gateway Provider following a series of tests with the European Medicines Verification Organization (EMVO) ahead of the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD).
During a lively session about the challenges linked to the fight against counterfeiting this morning at Microsoft Experiences, it became evident that cheap and dysfunctional counterfeits not only damage a brand’s reputation but potentially harm its customers if you think of malfunctioning car brakes, low quality technical appliances or fake medicines. To put things into perspective: according to the OECD, 5% of goods imported into EU markets in 2014 were fake, which is equivalent to a loss of about 300 billion Euros for companies. EU customs seized 7,7 million counterfeit products in 2015.
Compliance consultant Sequence Inc. has partnered with software firm Adents to develop a track & trace solution for pharmaceutical products.
