The Healthcare, Pharmaceutical and Medical Device industries are complex and multi-faceted due to the overriding responsibility to maintain the highest possible standards of safety and security for product handling throughout the supply chain.
Warehousing remains a vital link in any Healthcare supply chain however the need to efficiently track inventory and stock levels as well as maintain traceability and product integrity, has put a considerable strain on the workforce.
With UK stockholding at an all-time high, in part as a result of the global pandemic and more complex post-Brexit regulations, automation in the Healthcare sector has become an essential part of daily warehouse operations, designed to streamline processes and ensure traceability throughout the storage, handling and onward transportation of goods.
Strict regulations require detailed visibility of stock movements with the necessary processes to document the flow of goods to ensure complete traceability and quality assurance throughout the product lifecycle.
Healthcare products are often sensitive to temperature and humidity levels and require stable conditions to avoid product degradation due to environmental changes.
Stockholding relies on optimum storage capacity combined with efficient order picking processes within the warehouse environment, to manage both the increased volume of products held on site, and the need for fast and accurate order fulfilment.
Many Healthcare operations still use outdated legacy systems which are heavily reliant on manual labour for tracking inventory and order picking, creating the potential for errors and inefficient order fulfilment.
Ultimately, the integration of warehouse automation solutions from L-A-C enables Healthcare wholesalers and distributers to become more agile, efficient, and productive to ensure they remain competitive within a complex and dynamic landscape.
The implementation of warehouse automation using innovative, integrated solutions from L-A-C offers our Healthcare customers significant advantages:
processes are optimised for efficiency, leading to a substantial increase in the speed and accuracy of order fulfilment.
are achieved through the implementation of technology to create a digital and data-driven supply chain that is robust and agile.
is enhanced through high-density storage solutions, ensuring the warehouse can hold the optimal level of product on site, and operations are not impacted by under or over ordering.
is improved through integrating automated solutions for repetitive and time-consuming tasks, which eliminate issues with labour scarcity and the potential for errors.
Now widely used in Healthcare operations, Robots are ideally suited to handle repetitive and demanding tasks such as picking and sorting to enhance accuracy, efficiency and overall productivity.
Our collaboration with ABB robots enables us to offer a range of solutions to enhance pick and place operations which integrate seamlessly with additional technologies such as conveyors and AMRs to provide a full turnkey solution.
