AMI works within a wide variety of industries.

"Our client base includes many global companies that are currently deemed 'essential' manufacturers. Our research team found that the federal government is working proactively on concerns related to medical, pharmaceutical and other critical supply chain continuity."
Among the most pressing needs, the FDA has directed manufacturers to consider reevaluation of expiry dates of certain drugs and potentially re-code products "with the longest possible expiration date that the FDA agrees is scientifically justified" to mitigate shortages of critical human drugs.
Additionally, enhancing track and trace methodology within supply chain operations has become an urgent topic for manufacturers in response to the global pandemic. "We've been contacted by numerous companies, who are extremely pleased to find that we can offer products to seamlessly integrate into their production lines for marking barcodes as well as human readable data on all packaging sizes, shapes, and colors. Our products also integrate with database and ERP systems as well as track and trace software to ensure the greater visibility and adaptability into supply chain operations."
Given the critical nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government as well as private entities recognize the importance of product marking and coding for manufacturers and distributors of essential products. Focusing on the keystone issues which includes track and trace, date and lot coding, warning symbols, etc. ensures regulation compliance and the safety and health of consumers.
AMI has created a Hotline for immediate assistance and answers, that number is 800-345-6667 with priority given to manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, food items and other essential goods.
