CODE-READING FOR PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
The In-Sight family of machine vision sensors can now read
Composite Symbology (CS) and Reduced Space Symbology (RSS)
coding on pharmaceutical packages for the purpose of product
identification and traceability. This is in response to recently
proposed regulations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
requiring bar-coding on all unit dose medications and increased
reporting of safety problems involving medicines. The machine-readable
RSS and CS codes are intended to reduce the rate of medical
errors occurring between the manufacturing of drugs and their
administration to patients.
