Antares Vision introduces ATSFour software

Antares Vision, a provider of serialization-based pharmaceutical track and trace systems and inspection equipment, has introduced ATSFour, an enterprise-level serialization software aimed at fighting counterfeiting in the pharmaceutical industry.

The need for ‘Level 4 software solutions has become increasingly important’

As new drug traceability regulations continue to be enforced in the US, Europe and other key global markets, the need for ‘Level 4 software solutions has become increasingly important’, said the company.

The new ATSFour integrates Antares Tracking System, and offers a comprehensive, scalable system that allows ‘the widest connection capability available for any traceability framework’, according to Antares Vision. The software manages the serialization data flow connecting production plants, CMOs, third-party logistics and authorities, and manages high volumes of data through an innovative data storage system.

ATSFour creates a unique point of connection enabling interface with healthcare agencies, CMOs and other brand owners operating with a variety of software and hardware systems. ‘We believe our ATSFour enterprise-level serialization software is the best on the market,’ said Andrew Pietrangelo, president, Antares Vision North America, ‘and that it represents a major step forward toward helping companies comply with increasingly stringent serialization regulations.’

ATSFour offers two different installation options: on a cloud platform, and also on-premises in the local server infrastructure of the pharmaceutical company. Moreover, ATSFour can be configured on an entirely dedicated cloud space that is not shared with other companies. In view of the constant increase in the volume of data to be managed, ATSFour is designed with graph database technology: this allows for a ‘significantly faster’ search of information compared to traditional systems, said the company.

A number of companies have already chosen to implement the ATSFour system, including Recordati, Salf, Sit, Fine Foods, Marlex, biomo pharma, Renata, Faes, Saneca, Sovereign, Adhex, Sifi, Dms, Sirton, Promed and Falorni.
