The key ingredient in successful pharmaceutical fulfillment is order accuracy. Incorrect fulfillment of an e-commerce order is typically just a nuisance to the customer. In the pharmaceutical world, however, an incorrectly filled order can be a matter of life-and-death if a life-saving product is not delivered in time or the wrong product is shipped. Pharmaceutical fulfillment can include everything from generic unit storage on shelves and carton flow, refrigerated storage of products that must be maintained at a specific temperature, to secure storage areas where narcotics and other regulated or high-valued drugs are stored. There are various systemic checks and balances throughout the process to ensure order accuracy is maintained. All FDA regulations regarding serialization and traceability, as required by the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), are met.

  • Manual Process for Pharmaceutical

    A manual process is recommended with businesses just entering the marketplace, daily activity levels are low, acquiring capital dollars is difficult, picking is mainly at the bulk level, or there is uncertainty regarding future activity levels.

    Tech Considered

  • Semi-Automated Process for Pharmaceutical

    A semi-automated process is the next step in the progression from a manual process. As daily activity levels increase, more efficient methods are required to handle the increased throughput and service level requirements. The transition from manual to semi-automated involves the introduction of conveyors, packaging equipment, and a more advanced warehouse control system.

    Tech Considered

  • Automated Process for Pharmaceutical

    Automated processes are employed in fulfillment centers that have high daily volume demands consistently. They utilize many of the components of a semi-automated system but replace labor-intensive operations (such as picking) with highly efficient machines. Using goods-to-person technologies such as shuttles and autonomous robots; reduces order cycle times even further than a semi-automated solution but at a higher capital cost.

    Cobot

    Cobot

    Cobots are precise and increasingly flexible with advanced sensor technology, AI, Lidar/Radar, GPS, and connectivity. They are specifically designed to interact with humans without the use of additional safety equipment and components.

    Autonomous Mobile Robot

    Autonomous Mobile Robot

    AMRs use sensors, cameras, bar codes and/or lasers to find their way through a warehouse environment to retrieve materials as needed with precision, accuracy, and speed.

    Put-to-Light

    Put-to-Light

    Often referred to as scan and sort, an efficient automated sortation method that is designed to break larger quantities of goods into individual customer orders, using light devices to direct operators to ‘put’ items in the correct bin.

    Pick Module

    Pick Module

    It is designed to optimize the flow of multiple orders. They utilize numerous rack components integrated with an array of other material handling solutions to maneuver product efficiently through a warehouse or distribution center and expedite the order fulfillment process.

    Autonomous Mobile Robot

    Autonomous Mobile Robot

    Picking carts are used to move items from one point to another; it can reduce work-related stress and fatigue, and improve accuracy and efficiency, reducing loss due to incorrect counts.

    Carton Flow Rack

    Carton Flow Rack

    Also, known as flow racks, the storage method that uses rollers or wheels, as well as gravity to transfer cases from one end of the shelving or rack module to the other.
