Meddev is developing an advanced tracking and traceability system

Meddev is developing a mid market enterprise resource based on Exact Software’s Globe platform. This resource will enable small too medium size pharmaceutical and medical device companies to access a supply chain traceability control system using RFID technology. This system will establish an “e-pedigree” as defined in Californians’ Senate bill (SB 1307). Compliance with this bill will become effective January 1, 2015. The US congress will probably follow California’s lead and establish a nation wide requirement soon. It is anticipated that this requirement will also be extended to certain classes of medical devices. Meddev expects to have it’s beta resource available by the first quarter in 2011.
