Through advanced robotics and intelligent software, Hy-Tek automates critical tasks, reducing human errors and enhancing efficiency. Our sophisticated storage systems maximize space utilization and accommodate temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, facilitating seamless inventory management.Â
Common Pharmaceutical Challenges
Temperature-Sensitive Products
Many pharmaceuticals are temperature-sensitive and require specific storage and transportation conditions to maintain their efficacy. Maintaining proper temperature controls during warehousing and distribution is critical to prevent product degradation and maintain product integrity.
Regulatory Compliance
The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated to ensure consumer safety and prevent counterfeit or substandard products from entering the market. Companies must adhere to various national and international regulations, which can be complex and subject to frequent updates.
Traceability and Serialization
Product traceability is vital in the pharmaceutical supply chain to identify and track products from manufacturing to the end consumer. Serialization requirements aim to curb counterfeiting and verify product authenticity, making compliance a significant challenge.
Pharmaceutical Solutions
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.
