Artificial Intelligence

Is AI the next leap forward for pharmaceutical serialization, or the latest buzzword wrapped in sales promises? In this episode of Decommission, hosts Scott Pugh, Jerome Burton, and Justin Ahdan are joined by three technology providers in serialization: Dimitar Iliev, Director of Software Development at SoftGroup; Abiram Vijayakumar co-founder of AltiusHub; and John Winkler, CTO at Trust.med.Together they examine the practical reality of AI in pharma supply chains — where it's already delivering value, where it's still maturing. Scott takes on the role of a serialization manager navigating vendor pressure, surfacing the questions that practitioners are actually asking: Am I too late? Will this fix my day-to-day problems? Is this just another module I'll stop using in two years? The conversation is frank, collaborative, and deliberately free of hype. By the end, there's a clear message: you're not too late, but the fundamentals — standards, data quality, clear business requirements, still have to come first.
