AirMed and Cannabis 2.0
In our last post, we discussed how Cannabis 2.0 is changing the Canadian cannabis industry, but how does AirMed power this product innovation?
With the legalization of derivative products like edibles, vapes, and topicals, a world of opportunity has opened up for licensed producers. To thrive in this evolving market, Canadian companies—from large-scale operations to nimble micro-processors—need a flexible cannabis management system. This is where AirMed comes in BY providing a comprehensive solution designed to handle the complexities of Cannabis 2.0 while ensuring compliance every step of the way.
Meeting the Unique Challenges of Cannabis 2.0
Producing derivative cannabis products is more complex than simply growing and packaging dried flower. It involves intricate manufacturing processes, strict quality control, and detailed record-keeping. AirMed software is specifically designed to handle these challenges.
Manufacturing and Processing: AirMed offers unique workflows for each product type, from edibles and beverages to vapes and concentrates. The system tracks every step of your production process, from sourcing raw materials to extraction and final packaging. This ensures you have a complete audit trail for Health Canada inspections.
Inventory and Batch Tracking: With Cannabis 2.0 products, precision is everything. AirMed tracks weights to five decimal places and allows you to manage batches and lots with unique identifiers. This is critical for maintaining consistency and accuracy, especially with products that have a regulated THC and CBD content per package. Our software supports the creation of discrete units like pre-rolls and gel caps, as well as bulk products for sale to other licensed producers.
Compliance and Reporting: The regulations for Cannabis 2.0 products are extensive, covering everything from ingredient lists to packaging requirements and THC limits. AirMed automates the data collection for Health Canada’s Cannabis Tracking and Licensing System (CTLS) reports, simplifying the compliance process. Our software ensures you can meet all federal, provincial, and even international standards (like the USA’s FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP).
The Bottom Line: A Solution to Cultivate Success
The Cannabis 2.0 market is driven by consumer demand for diverse and innovative products. By using AirMed, Canadian licensed producers can streamline their operations, reduce compliance risks, and focus on what they do best: creating high-quality cannabis products.
Whether you are a large-scale standard processor introducing a new line of infused products or a micro-cultivator crafting artisanal strains, the AirMed platform offers the tools you need. Our software provides the foundation of efficiency and control needed to not only survive but to thrive in this exciting new chapter of the Canadian cannabis industry.

Managing Extracts, Edibles & Topicals in AirMed
For those wishing to process extracts, edibles and topicals, AirMed offers comprehensive features dedicated to these classes of cannabis.
Extracts, edibles and topicals are categorized as special classes of cannabis due to the unique public health and safety risks they present. As a result, these cannabis products have specific requirements pertaining to their formulation, production and composition.
Health Canada licensed processors have a broad base of data management needs to maintain compliance and accurately complete the monthly CTLS report. AirMed has developed a full range of functionality to meet those needs.
As with all elements of our system, comprehensive tracking and reporting is available. AirMed tracks and reports on every aspect of processing with specific fields for managing extracts, edibles, and topicals as well as their materials and lots.
Access to the AirMed software functionality that manages these cannabis classes is controlled on a user-by-user basis. Workforce management in our software utilizes configurable departments and job roles to control which workflows workers are authorized to use. You determine who is given rights to these production areas based on the needs of assigned job roles.
The AirMed cannabis record management system has separate production sections for extracts, edibles and topicals with workflows designed specifically to meet their requirements
AirMed offers workflows for storing extractions after processing for further processing or for blending with other materials and more. Weights are tracked to five decimal places for precision and reporting.
Packaged products can be sold individually to medical clients or as packaged products to recreational users.
Packaging features in AirMed include the ability to create discrete units such as edible gummies or gel caps, which can be recorded individually in groups or as bulk packages.
Packaging of discrete units can be one discrete unit in a package, multiple discrete units in a package, or bulk discrete units in a bulk package for either storage or to sell as bulk units to another licensed producer.
All labels are produced and created from within AirMed and can be customized to your needs.
To facilitate the sale of products to provincial warehouses, AirMed offers GS1 barcoding and configuration for tracking product cases and master cases.
Inventory management in AirMed is designed to provide a centralized view of your current stock levels of all products to help control costs, manage planning, and forecast with extensive reporting tools.
Shipping is easy with built-in functionality and integration with Purolator services.
Each field related to extractions, packaging, discrete units, samples, and order fulfilment is automatically included by AirMed in Health Canada CTLS and CRA monthly reporting.
With more stringent requirements for these cannabis classes comes a greater need for control and risk mitigation. Quality management (QMS) helps you provide the finest you can offer while reducing risks.
To give our clients the best chance of cultivating success, we’re building a range of QMS features into AirMed to support Good Production Practices (GPP) and a Preventive Control Program (PCP).
No other cannabis record management system offers the breadth of functionality, ease of use, and comprehensive features to cover all classes of cannabis and help you control cost.
