Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)

Logistics and Supply Chain Management: SSCC is used for the transportation and tracking of products throughout the supply chain. SSCCs labeled on shipping containers and packages are used to determine the status and location of products.

Warehouse and Distribution Management: During warehouse operations and product distribution, SSCCs are used to facilitate warehouse management and accurate shipment of products.

Rapid Recall: In the event of a product recall, SSCC helps in quickly identifying and recalling the correct products.

Digital Tracking: By integrating SSCC into digital tracking and data sharing systems, it helps in real-time tracking of products.

Usage in Various Sectors: SSCC is widely used in pharmaceuticals, medical, cosmetics, food and beverage, retail, automotive, textile, electronics, and many other sectors.

Manufacturing and Packaging: Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities add SSCC labels to packages during packaging, boxing, and palletizing. Each package, box, and pallet has a unique identifier. This allows for tracking of drugs from the beginning of the supply chain.

Distribution: As drugs are transported from manufacturing facilities to warehouses and distribution centers, SSCC labels are added to each transport unit (SSCC) or pallet. This enables accurate shipment of drugs and tracking during warehouse management.

Supply Chain Tracking: Tracking pharmaceuticals throughout the supply chain helps determine where products are located. This allows supply chain stakeholders (manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, hospitals) to locate products and intervene quickly when needed.

Recall and Safety: In the event of a need for a product recall, SSCC helps in identifying which products are affected. This facilitates a quick and precise recall process, enhancing consumer safety.

Digital Tracking: Pharmaceuticals can be tracked in real-time by integrating them into digital tracking systems (Drug Tracking System, Product Tracking System, Vaccine Tracking System, etc.). This allows for more efficient tracking of movements within the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Accurate Product Delivery: SSCC ensures that pharmaceuticals are delivered to the right places at the right time. This helps in preventing distribution errors and wrong deliveries.
