What Role Will Robots Play In Flexible Fill/Finish Lines? |
By Erik Greb, PharmaSystems, Inc.
The pharmaceutical industry has a history of developing innovative medicines and novel drug-delivery systems, but not all of its manufacturing processes use cutting-edge technologies. Citing regulatory and technological reasons, drug companies have been reluctant to adopt robotic automation for upstream applications, such as isolated fill–finish, even though the automotive and semiconductor industries have used robots extensively for years. But changes in the market, such as increased generic competition and decreasing batch sizes, could make robots crucial to drug makers' future success. |
