Improving Inventory Management and Batch Tracking in Pharma Manufacturing with Smart Asset Identification

In the pharmaceutical industry, accurate inventory management and batch tracking are critical to ensuring product integrity and regulatory compliance. A pharmaceutical packaging unit faced recurring challenges due to manual data entry and labeling errors, resulting in mismanagement of batch information and inventory discrepancies. This not only put the company at risk for compliance issues but also disrupted the efficiency of their packaging operations.

Pharmaceutical packaging units often struggle with manual processes when tracking batch numbers and verifying product labels. These processes are time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to challenges such as:

  • Manual tracking increases the risk of errors in stock levels, leading to incorrect inventory data.
  • Incorrect batch numbers or missing information on product labels, which could lead to regulatory violations.
    • Failing to meet industry standards for traceability and batch verification could result in severe legal and financial repercussions.

The company needed an efficient, reliable solution to automate these tasks and ensure seamless batch tracking and labeling verification.

Scanflow’s asset identification SDK was deployed to address the company’s challenges with manual data entry, inventory inaccuracies, and batch tracking. By integrating Scanflow into their existing packaging workflows, the company was able to automate label scanning and batch number verification. The solution utilized advanced optical character recognition (OCR) and image processing to read batch numbers directly from product packaging.

  • Scanflow’s AI technology captures batch numbers and other relevant product information directly from labels, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
  • The captured data is automatically updated in the warehouse management system (WMS), ensuring up-to-date inventory tracking and accurate batch verification.
    • Scanflow’s SDK integrates easily with existing packaging systems, enabling smooth adoption without major disruptions to operations.

After deploying Scanflow’s asset identification SDK, the pharmaceutical packaging unit saw significant improvements across several key metrics:

Impact Area Before Scanflow After Scanflow
Inventory Accuracy Frequent errors in inventory updates Real-time, accurate stock tracking
Batch Tracking Manual errors in batch number capture Automated and accurate batch tracking

How scanflow helped automate tire handling, improve visibility, and reduce operational cost

When a global e-commerce supply chain team sought to improve the way they track and manage tire inventory across warehouses, their requirement was clear. They needed a solution that could eliminate manual SKU counting, track tire aging, and reduce turnaround time, all without relying on on-premises software. 

The challenges were deeply operational: 
  • Manual tire identification during unloading and storage introduced frequent errors in SKU matching and quantity counts 
  • There was no way to track tire aging, leading to SLOB (slow-moving and obsolete) stock buildup 
  • Retrieval workflows were slow, requiring repeated physical checks 
  • High man-hour consumption due to multiple verifications across touchpoints 
  • No real-time visibility into what was stored, where, or for how long 

The solution also had constraints. It had to be deployed in the cloud on the client’s AWS account with only hardware (if any) deployed on-site. The goal was a lightweight, scalable way to automate tire tracking using their existing infrastructure. 

Scanflow’s Approach: AI Data Capture for Asset Identification 

Scanflow deployed its enterprise-grade data capture system, using AI to enable real-time tire recognition through sidewall scanning. Operators used handheld smart devices and cameras positioned at loading and storage points to extract tire information directly from the physical asset, including TIN, size, and model codes. 

Each tire was instantly verified against the warehouse management system. The capture workflow did not rely on barcodes or printed tags. Instead, it read the markings directly from the tire’s sidewall using optical character recognition and computer vision. 

All scan data was processed in real time and transmitted to the client’s private AWS environment, aligning with internal data residency and compliance requirements. 

What Scanflow Enabled 
  1. SKU-Level Identification at Entry and Retrieval
    Tires were captured and validated on the spot, reducing mismatch errors and improving inbound accuracy. 
  2. Aging Visibility with Timestamped Tracking
    Each tire was logged with its arrival time, enabling rotation and active removal of aging stock before it became obsolete. 
  3. Live Warehouse Snapshot
    Warehouse managers could see a real-time view of stock levels, distribution by zone, and tire movement, improving space utilization. 
  4. Reduced Turnaround Time for Picking and Dispatch
    Because tire type and location were tied to live data, retrieval paths were optimized, cutting delays. 
  5. No On-Prem Software Required
    The solution ran securely in the client’s AWS cloud instance, with edge-only processing at the point of scan. 
  6. System Integration with Existing WMS
    Scan events and validations were passed directly into the warehouse platform using secure APIs. 

Results Delivered 

  • 80 percent reduction in SKU mismatch and manual entry errors 
  • 55 percent faster tire retrieval and dispatch turnaround time 
  • Reduction in SLOB inventory through proactive aging insights 
  • Lower man-hour usage through fewer touchpoints and fewer rechecks 
  • Full compatibility with cloud-first environments and edge data capture 

Final Note 

Scanflow enabled the client to move away from spreadsheets, barcode dependency, and repetitive checks into a structured, data-driven tire management model. By capturing data from the tire itself and syncing it directly to cloud systems, the warehouse team gained clarity, speed, and measurable control over tire operations.

  • Order Accuracy: Ensuring that the correct tires are picked and packed for customer orders to avoid costly mistakes.
  • Operational Efficiency: Reducing labor costs and increasing overall warehouse productivity.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Meeting customer expectations by delivering tires quickly and accurately.

 
When the orders are received from the vendor they are processed and verified, ensuring accuracy and completeness. The tires are organized by size, brand, and type to facilitate easy retrieval. Scanflow integrated with warehouse management system keeps track of tire stock levels in real time. The warehouse workers use smart devices to scan tires to locate and pick the required tires. The system ensures that the correct tire sizes and quantities are selected.

After picking, there is a verification step where the staff cross-checks the picked items against the order details to ensure accuracy. Tires are carefully packed into appropriate packaging, which may include tire bags or boxes. Labels with shipping information, including the recipient’s address and tracking number, are generated and affixed to the packages.

A quality control check may be performed to inspect the packed tires for any visible defects before shipping. Once the tires are packed and quality checked, they are ready for shipping. The warehouse management system generates shipping labels and communicates with logistics providers to schedule pickups, deliveries or return orders.

Scanflow automates the return process when the tires arrive at the warehouse, workers inspect the item for damage, review the reason for return, and scans it back into the WMS. When the tires are not damaged or expired, they are returned back to the shelf to be picked for another order.

    • Accuracy: Reduced errors in tire selection and packing, leading to higher customer satisfaction and fewer returns.
    • Efficiency: Streamlined operations result in faster order processing and reduced labor costs.
    • Inventory Optimization: Real-time tracking of tire inventory ensures that stock levels are always up to date.
