As the EU moves toward full serialization compliance, with Italy and Greece joining in early 2025, this session will focus on the critical shift from meeting regulatory requirements to optimizing serialization processes. Attendees will gain insights into the latest updates in European serialization efforts, why aggregation is only a question of time, upcoming challenges like batch-related coding for primary packaging and recent developments. Additionally, the session will discuss the refinement of alert management systems at both the national and manufacturer levels, ensuring streamlined and efficient operations across the board. In this session, you will learn about:
Klaus Egner studied physics at the TU Darmstadt. After graduating with a degree in engineering, he trained technical business economist while working. Since 1998, Mr. Egner has been working for Merck KGaA, initially in the Automation department, where he was responsible for laboratories and in the field of chemistry. In 2004, his area of responsibility changed to the pharmaceuticals division with different areas of support (MES, production and packaging solids).
