With Blockchain Technology the pharmaceutical and medical device industries are provided with a unique chance of improving overall compliance and regulators are getting the complete and immutable traceability of products and processes. The pharmaceutical and now as well the medical device industry are heavily regulated, because first of all it is a question of trust in the protection of patients. Where no trust is, one has to proof that everything is cGMP conform. With the new Blockchain technology the status quo can be changed to a point, where regulators can trust and rely upon always available lifecycle data from pharmaceutical and medical device products, production, distribution and logistics. All generated data is accurate, verifiable, secured through encryption, automatically written into the blockchain layer, so all information is always recorded. Blockchain is providing all these abilities regarding compliance and business aspects. This can be illustrated in use case examples:
Due to the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) supply chain security has recently gained attention in order to battle the counterfeit drug problem. Counterfeit drugs are drugs that do not contain the active ingredients they are supposed to and consequently can harm patients. The supply chain in the
pharmaceutical industry is complex, with drugs changing ownership from manufacturers to distributors, repackagers, and wholesalers before reaching the customer. Using the immutable Blockchain technology can increase trust and transparency, with customers, doctors or patients being able to track pharmaceutical products throughout the complete supply chain.
The pharmaceutical production process of a film coated tablet can be verified using blockchain token for proving each operational step with the necessary process parameters, including calibration verification and engineering or qualification / validation of documents, if needed. With Blockchain technology it is possible to collect all process data live within production for all different steps in order to prove the cGMP compliance of the overall production, storage, packaging and distribution at each point in time.
Today, most documentation is still paper-based or based on electronic files. But there is not yet an electronic link between the cGMP requirement and its proof. By linking requirement documents, process execution documentation and personal signatures with digital fingerprints on a Blockchain, everything is tied together under one single point of entry. Blockchain technology provides on common data access interface for inserting and extracting data, applicable in all corporate areas and divisions, regulating authorities and auditors, making all data access easier and all processes holistically traceable. Auditors can directly see a complete chain between requirements and their implementation in the production process to be correctly verified. This will build a deeper trust into the overall qualification and validation activities.
The very same strict and secure documentation mechanisms can be used for drug development activities, from technical trial, clinical studies as well as pharmacovigilance, providing a deep transparency inside the drug development system.
ARXUM Business GmbH, located in Zug, crypto valley Switzerland, provides the blockchain based system solution to set the scattered businesses in the pharmaceutical industry on a blockchain basis, down to the granular level of linking production machines
to smart contracts on the Blockchain.
ARXUM uses Blockchain technology to integrate data from diversified sources in the pharmaceutical & medical device industry. A prescription or a manufacturing order is created as Ricardian smart contract on the Blockchain. All manufacturing peers, such as clients, manufacturers, suppliers, transport agents and providers of digital services, gain fine-controlled access to relevant production data.
Blockchain technology provides for immutable traceability on several levels:
The global ARXUM Production Protocol is one single standard to connect all manufacturing players to a protected Blockchain infrastructure, providing end to end
visibility on all relevant production events. Practitioners, manufacturers, material providers, transport agents, payers and insurances, as well as internal stakeholders such as engineering, maintenance and operations have discriminated access to the same data on the blockchain. All data is securely stored with digital fingerprints and protected against manipulation. This provides secure product identification, immutable traceability and a complete audit trail for internal or external regulators.
ARXUM provides the ARXUM Connection Box (ACB), a cyber-secure IoT gateway for production machines which directly communicates with the Blockchain, thereby eliminating potential manual manipulation. Further, existing IT infrastructure is connected to the ARXUM Production Protocol through a programming interface (API) towards ERP systems or
manufacturing execution systems. Based on the ARXUM Production Protocol, the ARXUM Production Network provides
several, distributed applications to the different stakeholders to access the production and product data. Data is stored in different distributed ledgers, such as for prescriptions, production events and processing data, transport & end deliveries, product data or regulatory requirements.
The distributed ledgers are accessible for various purposes, such as post processing analysis, predictive engineering & maintenance. Various digital services can be integrated:

Good manufacturing practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.

Most problems can be solved easily skipping the complicated stuff.
In case there is an accumulation or anomaly respectively a lack of discipline, we will search for the cause and solve the root cause. Oftentimes the customer view is ignored, but in the end the customer is only paying for value. The customer focus is important and shows to the business management, what is not part of the product or the service.

The Supply Chain Management (SCM for short) is a management approach in which all flows of products, raw materials and components are recorded in a process-oriented manner.
The goal of the SCM is the optimization of resources. This objective requires the consistent mapping of all material and production flows, from order or production to delivery.
As a rule, this creates cross-company transparency. Economic decisions are supported, information data is available in real time.
A good supply chain management represents the key function in the enterprise. For this purpose it must necessarily be integrated by an outstanding network integration. If this is the case all areas can be related to each other and the overall view of all areas is guaranteed.
These include transport, warehouse and production management, as well as order management. Procurement, distribution and production planning are based on these areas. This in turn is based on network and demand planning.
A good SCM increases customer satisfaction, quickly adapts to changing markets, lowers inventory, simplifies goods flow and reduces delivery times.
Using the example of the fashion industry, where there is fierce competition and customer requirements change very quickly, the meaningfulness of a supply chain management can be presented very well. Narrow profit margins of retailers are putting a constant pressure on manufacturers. If you want to offer an excellent service here, you must have an excellent SCM.
In the worldwide supply chain of the fashion industry, above all speed, transparency and flexibility are required. With a good SCM, this is not a problem. Since all processes and departments can be analyzed in real time and displayed in a complete overview, the needs of the customers can be identified in good time and successfully operated. The manufacturer is maximally flexible and can offer the customer a highly transparent processing with fast delivery time.
In addition, the market is monitored using the supply chain management system. It is possible to react immediately to changes in requirements due to new or simply changed customer requirements and delivery routes. In the best case scenario, the manufacturer recognizes customer needs before the customer himself, thus offering innovations that ensure customer satisfaction and loyalty.
The fashion industry is very fast paced. Not only that there are four collections per year, the fashion trends sometimes change outside of the collections very quickly. A good SCM analyzes the current market situation and compares with historical data. On this basis, a prediction of the market trend is possible. Production and warehouse management can be prepared for future requirements at an early stage.
