Discover how a modern integrated approach to labeling is essential for the successful delivery of DCT and DTP, allowing for the eradication of manual processes which slow throughput and introduce risk into the process.

By adopting cloud-based platforms offering interoperability with PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and MES (Manufacturing Execution System) systems CROs, CMOs and CDMOs can allow for a consistent environment across a distributed global supply chain with approved and validated labels able to be printed on-demand from anywhere in the world.

Key Learning Objectives:

Gain knowledge of delivering successful decentralized clinical trials
Understand how an integrated labeling solution can help overcome logistical challenges in DCT
Get insight into why labeling is essential for increasing efficiency and improving compliance
Learn how the adoption of a labeling solution can serve as a single source of truth for regulated content

W. L. Gore & Associates has made its name by creating innovative, technology-driven solutions, from medical devices that treat aneurysms to high-performance GORE-TEX® fabrics. In this webinar, Michael Kinnett, who is responsible for Product Labeling for W.L. Gore’s Medical Products Division, will share how a flexible, cloud-based Enterprise Labeling solution improved manufacturing and distribution to support their organization’s continued growth and global expansion. You will learn how the Company was able to meet regulatory challenges and the evolving demands of the medical device industry.

Watch our on-demand webinar to learn more about how W.L. Gore & Associates moved labeling to the Cloud to automate processes, eliminate bottlenecks, and speed label creation and updates. You’ll find out how W. L. Gore was able to: 

Improve label creation and update times from months to days
Automate label design and management to easily meet complex regulatory requirements
Simplify the auditing process to enable compliance
Enable suppliers to avoid relabeling
Successfully migrate from Loftware Print Server (LPS) to Loftware’s modernized, future-proof solution, Loftware Spectrum

Recognizing the critical need to mitigate the risk of medical device shortages and recalls for patient safety, the European Parliament recently granted an extension for EU MDR compliance. Some organizations have reallocated budgets as a result, but medical device manufacturers should take advantage of this opportunity NOW to properly and cost-effectively implement labeling and artwork solutions that offer a clear corridor to compliance.

Watch this webinar and learn how to ensure compliance and mitigate risk of recalls by:

Automating, optimizing, and centralizing labeling
Enabling fast, flexible label changes
Ensuring security and auditability
Integrating labeling with sources of truth

Mislabeling continues to be a leading cause of medical device recalls and manufacturers struggle to coordinate labeling data across their organizations. This can lead to issues within product design, production, inspection, and compliance functions.

Many manufacturers turn to PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) to address design and data management complexities across domains. Traditional areas focus on key engineering disciplines like mechanical, electrical, and software development and the overall digitalization of Design Control. However, labeling as a discipline is often overlooked and underappreciated – until it’s an issue. Even then, labeling tools are chosen for different specializations within the broader labeling issue.

An integrated approach is needed to bring labeling solutions into the overall lifecycle management. Watch now to learn how Siemens and Loftware have partnered to transform labeling compliance, accuracy and efficiency.

Key Learning Objectives:

Labeling definition & authoring – an integrated approach
Advanced label design
Regulatory and UDI

How Applied Medical digitalizes and streamlines supply chain quality control with Loftware SAP integration

Applied Medical is a global medical device company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Southern California. With 5,000+ team members operating in more than 75 countries, Applied Medical develops innovative products that improve patient outcomes and enable the advancement of minimally invasive and general surgery specialties.

By integrating Loftware Spectrum with SAP this organization was able to extend its finished goods labeling across its digital supply chain and automate quality control to reduce errors and improve operational efficiencies.
