Internal logistics and sorting of packaged pharmaceuticals

Role: Plant Logistics Manager

“In our center, we handle large volumes of packaged pharmaceuticals intended for distribution. The receiving and internal sorting stage had become a critical point.”

Requirement

  • Management of high incoming flows of packages (boxed pharmaceuticals)
  • Fast sorting to different storage or shipping areas
  • Complete product traceability
  • Reduction of routing errors

“The complexity was linked to the number of references and destinations: every sorting error has a direct impact on customer service.”

Solution implemented

  • Automated system for receiving and internal handling
  • Conveyor and automatic package diverting systems
  • Integration with identification systems (barcode/vision) for correct routing
  • Software logic for dynamic management of flows and priorities

“The decisive aspect was having a system that makes decisions in real time based on the product destination.”

Results

  • Significant increase in sorting speed
  • Reduction of routing errors
  • Complete traceability throughout the entire process
  • Greater operational efficiency and improved peak management

“Today the flow is continuous and controlled. Even at peak workload, we are able to maintain precision and timing.”
