Challenges with UDI Implementation | Jay Crowley, USDM and Dennis Black, BD. As more countries, regulators and payors introduce UDI and UDI-like requirements, manufacturers and users struggle to understand the best approach for implementation, as well as the common overarching goal is to bring visibility, control and connectivity to the many related regulatory and commercial device-related activities. These activities cover the total lifecycle of a device including design, manufacturing, distribution, and postmarket surveillance and will ultimately include long-term safety, effectiveness, and value. All of this necessitates a level of control and visibility over your products and processes that may not exist today and which may require new systems to support these activities. This presentation will discuss the direction of these global initiatives and the need for visibility and control of your devices and product data and the related systems and processes.

Breaking Down Barriers to Create and Interoperable Supply Chain | Drew Zabrocki, centricity. Interoperability means working together and open source has proven to be the most practical means of doing so. We'll examine practice cases and industry examples of how interoperability and data sovereignty can deliver tangible value on the farm forward across the supply value chain. Presentation can be focused on supply value chain, data sovereignty, FSQA, empowering application providers and/or regulatory transparency.
Real-Time Job, Label, RFID, and Barcode Data to Your Application | Doug Seitz, Printronix Auto-ID. Do you need to know whether the job you submitted printed or whether every label printed successfully? Do you want an audit record of every barcode grade and RFID inlay encoding? Would you like this information in the same application that you used to submit the job? Would you like to control printer settings from your application? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, find out how easy it is to add an architected set of queries to your application to get real-time data from the printer directly into your application.
Product Traceability across the Verticals | Susan Flake, Avery Dennison; Sprague Ackley, Digimarc; Don Durm, PLM Trailer Leasing. Listen to this panel discuss questions like Rapidly shifting consumer preferences. Consumers demand rapid access to reliable and relevant information whenever they want it. There is also an increasing level of discomfort regarding product recalls. Their confidence is fragile. And then there is the power of social networks which cannot be overlooked. There are many overlapping and conflicting demands from national regulators around the world. Different regulations on allergens, trace elements, pesticides and more. Global sourcing means that time zones play a significant role in response times. Food fraud and market substitution for economic gain is also a global challenge.
Product Traceability across the Verticals Continued
Temperature Monitoring Solution for Fleet Management & Cold Chain Custody Compliance | Quresh Tyebji and Mohammad Sachee; Shipcom Wireless. Harris Health System (HHS) faced a unique set of challenges for maintaining total visibility of the temperatures in various coolers of patient medical samples and refrigerated pharmaceuticals transported by HHS staff within HHS vehicles between clinics on a daily basis. Shipcom was tasked to assist in real-time fleet monitoring / tracking along with real-time environmental data from the trucks and 290+ coolers, to increase visibility, improve efficiencies, and assure compliances for the entire organization at Harris Health.
Leveraging Edge AI for Monitoring Remote Assets | Kathrik Rau - Stoke Systems.
