MNC Collab - IPSACCI - Development of In- Process Seal Assurance Solution for Pharmaceutical Container Closure Integrity
FY 2024-25 · 2024-11-04
Summary
As part of Multinational Corporate Collaboration Program, the project IPSACCI will focus on developing a new technology called the Seal Assurance Platform that incorporates new container twin sensor hardware and software. The PoC has been tested with a Global Pharmaceutical Partner but there are several novel aspects that need to be researched, developed and trialed before the product can be validated and commercialized. Successfully completing this project will position SmartSkin’s solution to be eligible for use in 95% of capper lines at multinational locations versus only 25% today. This is a multi-million dollar opportunity at our Global Pharma Partner and opens a new market opportunity valued at over $200M.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre du programme de collaboration entre entreprises multinationales, le projet IPSACCI se concentrera sur le développement d’une nouvelle technologie appelée plateforme d’assurance des scellés qui incorpore de nouveaux matériels et logiciels de capteurs de jumelage de conteneurs. La PdC a été testée avec un partenaire pharmaceutique mondial, mais plusieurs aspects nouveaux doivent être recherchés, développés et testés avant que le produit puisse être validé et commercialisé. La réussite de ce projet permettra à la solution SmartSkin d’être utilisée dans 95 % des lignes de bouchage des sites multinationaux, contre seulement 25 % aujourd’hui. Il s’agit d’une perspective de plusieurs millions de dollars pour notre partenaire pharmaceutique mondial et d’un nouveau marché d’une valeur de plus de 200 millions de dollars.
