Health & Pharma Distribution
Speed, quality, and efficiency are critical
It's a classic supply-and-demand issue that is driving up wages, causing competition for workers and making labor 50%-70% of your costs.
Get the insights you need to take action.
Whether manufacturing or distributing pharmaceuticals, medical devices or consumer health products, you need reliable and advanced solutions to meet critical timelines and strict regulations.
Patients and customers rely on your products to live comfortably. Don’t settle for just anyone to help you meet their needs.
Preserve the well-being of your operation
You can’t afford to settle, boost the safety and efficiency of your manufacturing operation now.
Sanitation & quality
There are thousands of drug and device recalls every year. Maintaining compliance through the entire manufacturing process is imperative to the safety and integrity of OTC and prescription drugs, medical devices and other consumer products.
Automation can help lessen human interaction while new lift truck power options offer zero emissions, both helping keep sanitation in-check.
Safety & security
Training and safety awareness are crucial. A comprehensive operator training program in conjunction with operator assist technologies and telematics can boost awareness and help reinforce consistent best practices.
Labor & productivity
Consider automating your operation with robotic lift trucks. Valuable human resources can be freed up for more engaging roles while the flexibility to adjust shifting production lines can help improve workflow and production throughput times.
You can’t afford to settle for second best
To preserve product quality and boost throughput, you must be laser-focused on safely and efficiently getting products out the door.
WORKFORCE PRODUCTIVITY
Scale up your operation with robotic lift trucks. Robotics can help improve employee retention by offering more engaging, value-added roles and help streamline workflow and throughput.
Fulfillment expectations & space constraints
Agility is imperative to keeping costs down and meeting productivity metrics. That means maximizing operator efficiency and space utilization. Ensure your lift truck fleet offers the design and features to help you boost picking and reduce cycle times, provide operator ergonomic features, and take advantage of valuable cubic space.
