Abstract: A method includes performing, by a processor: generating a packaging order for a drug product at a host; communicating the packaging order to a translation driver; translating the packaging order into a format specific to a drug product packaging system; and communicating the translated packaging order to a hardware controller associated with the drug product packaging system.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a first plurality of batches, each of the first plurality of batches including a plurality of scripts identifying a plurality of drug products, respectively, and each of the first plurality of batches defining a first packaging sequence for the plurality of drug products identified by the plurality of scripts; receiving operational status information for each of a plurality of drug product packaging systems; and organizing, using an artificial intelligence engine, the plurality of scripts from the first plurality of batches into a second plurality of batches based on the operational status information received for each of the plurality of drug product packaging systems, the second plurality of batches defining a second packaging sequence for the plurality of drug products identified by the plurality of scripts.

Abstract: An ACARS messaging system according to the invention is deployed when a TCP/IP subnetwork is available to the aircraft. ACARS messages are encoded into ASN.1 notation and translated to become compliant with the TCP/IP suite of protocols. A wireless subnetwork provides the initial access point to establish the TCP/IP datalink for the ACARS message traffic. The system allows transmission of ACARS messages using low cost and high bandwidth TCP/IP networks in lieu of the private networks that carry conventional ACARS messages.
