PharmaBraille

PharmaBraille is an email service based on RoboBraille - and is aimed at pharmaceutical companies e.g. manufacturers, distributors, resellers who need to emboss Braille on product packages.

As a consequence of EU Directive 2001/83/EC as amended by Directive 2004/27/EC, Article 56a the name and proof of the medicinal product, as referred to in Article 54 a, must also be expressed in Braille format on the packaging.

Working principles

The working principle of PharmaBraille is that the user e-mails information about the requested Braille - e.g., product name, strength, product ID and language encoding - to the robot.

The robot translates the information into a graphical element and returns the Braille artwork by email. The format of the graphical element could be emf (enhanced meta file), allowing the Braille artwork to be imported into Adobe Illustrator or a similar design application and placed on the package or label design.

The visual Braille artwork is produced in accordance with a particular Braille font specified by the customer, e.g., Marburg Medium as recommended by the European Commission.

We have designed versions of its OctoBraille TrueType Braille fonts that comply with the Marburg Medium specification.
