Verista to showcase COUNTQ and KITQ innovations at INTERPHEX 2026. Verista, a leading provider of automation, compliance, and quality solutions for the life sciences industry, will highlight its COUNTQ and KITQ integrated offerings at INTERPHEX 2026, April 21-23 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, NY, at booth 4139. Underlining the company's focus on helping pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers improve quality, reduce risk, and accelerate speed to market, these complementary solutions enable more reliable, compliant, and efficient clinical and commercial packaging operations. Verista's COUNTQ system is designed to bring a higher level of confidence and control to component counting and reconciliation processes in packaging workflows, helping manufacturers ensure that counts are accurate and documentation is consistent from batch to batch. Delivering 100% electronic verification of product counts in just 15 seconds using deep learning AI and high-resolution visual inspection with LED lighting, the system provides a processing capacity of up to 100 million vials per year and supports a standard fill line capacity of 300 vials per minute while accommodating various tray types and product sizes without tray templates for quick changeovers and unlimited recipe storage. Fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations with a comprehensive audit trail; multiple leading injectable manufacturers, including top pharmaceutical companies and major CMOs, have implemented multiple units across their facilities, achieving improved accuracy, higher throughput, reduced labor costs, and enhanced regulatory compliance. The KITQ system provides reconciliation of complex kit designs to reduce manual effort and errors, as well as electronic management. By combining standardized kit structures with configurable workflows, KITQ provides automated accountability and complete traceability through use of tray-embedded RFID tags, automatic recipe selection, and 21CFR compliant reporting of results. The system integrates seamlessly with existing kit assembly processes and standard operating procedures, helping production managers and manufacturing engineering teams ensure that kit contents are complete, correct, and fully traceable, thereby strengthening compliance and supporting confident decision-making. Together, COUNTQ and KITQ demonstrate Verista's integrated approach to solving critical challenges at the intersection of clinical and commercial operations, giving life sciences companies a more connected view of components, kits, and packaging activities. INTERPHEX attendees are encouraged to stop by booth 4139 to meet with Verista's specialists to discuss how COUNTQ and KITQ can be tailored to their specific environments, from surgical tray setups and medical device spare part kits to large-scale commercial manufacturing.
