The company is attending the exhibition with end-to-end solutions that connect quality, safety, and efficiency

Travagliato, Italy, November 9, 2021. Antares Vision Group, whose mission is to accelerate technological innovation and digitalization by connecting the physical and digital worlds with the integrated value chain, will be exhibiting its ecosystem of production and supply chain management solutions at CPhI Worldwide November 9–11 in Milan.

The digitalization of production systems and supply chains has become a fundamental element of guaranteeing opportunities for innovation in many industries. The ability to transform physical processes into data and information opens channels of communication among all stakeholders, ensuring safety, transparency, and sustainability of processes at every stage of the supply chain.

This will be a central topic at CPhI Worldwide, one of the most important international events for the pharmaceutical industry. Now in its 32nd year — and returning to Milan after 14 years — CPhI will be held at the Fiera Milano exhibition hall from November 9 to 11, with more than 800 exhibitors from 170 countries representing every facet of the industry’s supply chain.

Antares Vision Group will exhibit in Hall 10, Stand L30, P-MEC, highlighting the synergy of expertise from its companies with a unique ecosystem of technologies and benefits dedicated to the pharmaceutical supply chain. This complete and integrated ecosystem comprises solutions for production, including traceability, quality control with automatic visual inspection machines (the result of a multi-technological approach), and intelligent data management (Efficiency 4.0), and solutions for the end-to-end supply chain, from raw materials to production, from distribution to the hospital and the patient.

Emidio Zorzella, CEO and co-founder of Antares Vision S.p.A., said, “We are happy to once again exhibit at CPhI Worldwide. This is a premier industry event and the perfect occasion for us to highlight ourselves as a partner and single point of reference for all stakeholders in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Thanks to the experience and technological synergies within our Group, we offer an ecosystem of solutions to manage the quality and safety of products and will lead the digital transformation of supply chains.”

The collection and interconnection of data — quality, traceability, IoT devices, and data from each step of the supply chain — contribute to the construction of a transparent and complete supply chain of information that empowers every participant to know and verify the integrity and history of every product. Digital identities for each smart product and a transparency that generates trust: This is the power of Trustparency®.
