The smart labels play a fundamental role in the pharmaceutical sector, where the control and traceability of medicines are essential. The objective of this article is to evaluate the labeling situation in a pharmaceutical company and propose recommendations to improve the traceability of products throughout the supply chain. To meet this objective, an intelligent labeling methodology was defined with the aim of proposing an improvement alternative for the labels of the Aica Pharmaceutical Laboratory Company. Each level of packaging must contain a label with a unique standardized code for identification; so the GS1 standards system was studied and the level of automatic capture was deepened; comparing traditional code labels and smart label technologies. As a result, it was concluded that for the case study in Aica, the use of GS1 standards and AIDC technologies is recommended at all levels of packaging.

Palabras clave : Smart labels; traditional labels; GS1 standards; RFID; Bar code.
