Many industries face increasing compliance requirements, consumer demand for detailed lot-level package information, and competitive pressures for supply chain speed and efficiency.

Faced with strict traceability and anti-counterfeiting regulations, the pharmaceutical industry has led the way in using optical character recognition (OCR) to ensure security end-to-end in its supply chains. This required significant investment, the development of expertise, and a long learning process.

Edge learning, an easy-to-use form of AI, provides a fast and reliable way to automate supply chains with OCR. It is superior to both rule-based OCR and more complex deep learning systems.
