Howto asure 100% accuracy with robotic picking
No other industry comes close when it comes to regulatory oversight and procedures, and rightfully so. The pharmaceutical industry whether it’s manufacturing or pharmacy retail, patient safety is the number one priority.
However, this creates some challenges on a global level. Prescription drugs are manufactured using raw materials that are found throughout the world. These ingredients must be tracked throughout the supply chain, manufacturing process, and finally, the distribution and fulfillment of products. The later, has now seen new regulatory procedures within the United States and certain countries within the E.U. also follow strict guidelines. Given the fact that pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution happen at a global level, these regulatory guidelines must be implemented.
Pharmaceutical distribution requires adherence to the above methods, but also needs additional material handling processes to ensure 100 percent accuracy. Picking robots, A-Frame picking, and track and trace scan data capture technology all ensure order accuracy.
