Brand protection software

Hicof — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 14:03:54 +0000

Efficient security systems are desirable to prevent, detect and mitigate the actions of unscrupulous access and manipulations by individuals. It is hence vital to detect and differentiate between original barcodes and reprint versions to mitigate business losses and fraudulent actions.

Product serialization infrastructure

Alpha software developed by Hicof, is an innovative solution to eliminating the risk of ISO barcode reprint and unscrupulous manipulations. It offers the ability to differentiate between original barcodes and reprint versions.

Hicof’s Alpha identifies the tolerances in each printed bar code using its developed Hicof principle. It then creates a unique copy detection key which is stored on the Hicof cloud. This implies that with a smartphone camera, comparative analysis of barcodes and the cloud-based unique identification key is possible.

Alpha offers an integrated brand protection system which is also easily integrated into existing serialization infrastructure. It manages copy detection through a highly protected cloud database. Moreover, it offers a tactical security center that is tasked with obtaining real-time supply chain information to aid seamless business operations.

Flat carton coding machine

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 14:32:07 +0000

The coding process is an essential step in the production line as it can provide trusted supply chain and product information. However, companies sometimes cannot expand existing packaging lines with serialization stations due to space limitations. A solution to this issue can be taking the marking operation off-line.

Compact serialization station marking up to 300 pieces per minute

The AMAPLAN-150 from Hicof is a compact serialization station providing up to 300pcs/min with a wide range of formats. The products are fed via an upper and lower guide passing the printer and the Hicof Goldeneye camera. When in the machine, the movement of the product is very controlled as it is guided from all sides. A very constant product speed can be obtained by the closed loop servo controlled movement and thus gives you optimal marking results. Finally, the product is shingled on an output belt for drying purposes of the marking. The shingling of the product makes the drying time longer, thus preventing smears of the freshly marked flat cartons. AMAPLAN-150 can make a format change within less than 5 minutes by the quick adjustment of the settings.

Software to differentiate between the original pharmaceutical barcode and a reprint

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 13:52:28 +0000

Counterfeit products pose a serious threat as much to consumers as to producers. Standard barcodes are used to mark the items to track and trace the origin of the product; however, they can be easily regenerated or copied and serialization infrastructure can’t always detect manipulation. A system that can distinguish an original bar code from a reprint could be a good solution against counterfeiting.

Verifying the authenticity of a barcode using a smartphone camera

Thymaris Alpha from Hicof is a software that helps to differentiate between original barcode and reprint. Thymaris works by identifying micro tolerances for each printed barcode by using a software that creates a unique copy detection key that is stored in the Thymaris cloud. Microtolerances are what make a code individual. Using a smartphone camera, you can compare the copy detection key stored in the cloud to see if the printed code is the original one. Thymaris also has an integrated brand protection system with easy integration into existing serialization installations. Thymaris can provide a highly protected account database for managing the copy detection keys and a management interface to obtain real information about the status of your supply chains.

Softgel capsules fast-track the delivery of medication to the bloodstream. Unlike solid pills, they do not need to be broken down by the body before the drugs can be absorbed. Moreover, they are optimal vehicles for oils and fat-soluble formulations that cannot be compressed into tablets.

Stand-alone aggregation station

Hicof — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:24:54 +0000

The aggregation of pharmaceutical products for tracking purposes is already compulsory in many countries and is expected to become even more widespread. Regardless of the legislation, logistical demands can also trigger a need for aggregation. For the aggregation of single pharmaceutical items into cases, camera systems and label printers need to be integrated into existing case packers. A modern aggregation unit that can operate as a standalone piece of equipment yet integrate directly with a serialization line provides maximum flexibility and complete traceability into the warehouse.

Aggregator for shipping cases or pallets with manual loading

The Amajoiner from Hicof is a semi-automatic aggregator that can be operated as a standalone unit or directly connected to a Hicof Amacoder serialization line, offering maximum flexibility.

The Amajoiner allows the aggregation of folding boxes into shipping cases by using an overhead high-resolution multi-code camera with an adjustable focus for scanning multiple packaging layers. The Amajoiner can work with a wide variety of shipping case sizes up to a maximum of 600mm x 400mm x 400mm. As well as aggregating product boxes into shipping cases, the Amajoiner can also further aggregate cases into pallets.

Hicof has considered operator ergonomics, as well as aggregation technology. The workspace height can be fully adjusted for comfort, including tilt of up to 40 degrees for easy loading, and to allow both seated and standing work positions. The carton is brought to the horizontal position for camera recording then returned to the packing position automatically. Due to a creative mechanical design and the use of cloud technologies the Amajoiner offers a class-leading low initial investment cost.

Fully portable thanks to high-quality castor wheels, the Amajoiner enjoys a compact size of only 1200mm x 1000mm by 2500mm total height. Other key features include a high-end industrial computer, 12MP camera with LED flash, a 200W linear axis for camera focus adjustment, in-built label printer for final shipping case labels, and a hand scanner.

Serialization coding and labeling equipment

Hicof — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:24:22 +0000

In the pharmaceutical industry, product serialization is the cornerstone of all legislative requirements for traceability. An automated inline coding and labeling system provides the easiest and most reliable way of addressing serialization needs without adversely impacting on line performance.

Folding-box serialization units for high flexibility/high speed

The Amacoder range from Hicof are industry-leading serialization solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, available in two specifications:

Amacoder FLEX – offers the maximum flexibility for packaging sizes. The maximum box depth is 300 mm and the maximum throughput is 75 boxes per minute (depending on box size). This is ideal for batch production and lines with frequent size changeover.

Amacoder SPEED – offers the highest speed at up to 150 boxes per minute for a maximum box depth capped at 200mm. This is perfect for dedicated smaller box lines where maximum throughput is desirable.

The Hicof Amacoder machines are supplied as standard with one inkjet printing unit and one cartridge and one camera on the operator side. Additional printing heads are available as an option. Two labelers enable the application of tamper-evident seals on both sides of the folding box. All box flap configurations are supported, making the Amacoder suitable for use with any existing line.

The Amacoder line has been designed to reduce moving parts and complexity as far as possible, offering an attractive price point as well as reducing the footprint to a minimum. The slower movement of boxes through the Amacoder means a very low rejection rate, offering further cost savings.

The code-reading camera is fully ISO/IEC 15415 compliant, and the complete coding and labeling line offers a comprehensive corporate, easy to operate, GxP compliant database to an integrated solution. The Amacoder IT system allows the processing of all serialization data, supports related business processes and offers optional interfaces to business and governmental partners.
