b+b trace UDI Software vs Covectra AuthentiTrack

b+b trace UDI Software provides serialization for medical devices to support Medical Device Regulation implementation at level 3. Users can create, edit, and import work or process orders, then report traceability information to multiple markets, customers, and databases. Modules cover user and rights management, audit trails, customer and target-market records, items, lines, interfaces, and label layouts. Site management includes aggregation hierarchy management, reworking, sampling, and optional serial-number management. A multipack manager can combine items across GTINs and aggregate them under a new serial number. Interfaces connect with a customer’s ERP system and with Level 5 of EUDAMED. The line manager is described as a Level 2 component for parameterizing and controlling line components. The SiteServer can run on-premise or in the cloud, using a Windows VM and MS SQL Server database supplied by the customer. Pricing is on request. Tailored support contracts are available; SLA customers receive priority support and free software updates while the SLA remains valid.

Covectra AuthentiTrack manages serialized pharmaceutical product data from packaging lines through cloud repositories, external EPCIS connections, and traceability workflows. Covectra says it supports DSCSA compliance with serialized identifiers, event histories, EPCIS exchange, and verification processes. Packaging operations can use high-speed automatic serialization or manual and semi-automatic modes. AuthentiTrack Enterprise connects multiple facility lines with ERP master data and AuthentiTrack Cloud. AuthentiTrack Prime addresses lower-volume manual or semi-automatic work, sending cloud data to the line controller and working with industry-accepted printers and verifiers without proprietary hardware. AuthentiTrack Cloud provides GS1 EPCIS certification, serial-number provisioning, notification interfaces, and an event repository. Gateway handles differing message formats with outside EPCIS providers and brand owners. VRS manages verification requests and responses for U.S. pharmaceutical saleable returns. Covectra lists ERP, MES, and WMS integration, plus EPCIS exchange among manufacturers, wholesalers, and dispensers. The integrated solution can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud, with implementation, validation, project management, impact assessment, and ERP integration services available.
