Warehouse management software (WMS) can be used to improve efficiency in almost any kind of supply chain, and pharmaceutical logistics is no exception. In this article, Edward Napier-Fenning, New Business Development Manager at Balloon One, shares four key benefits of optimising the supply chain using the latest WMS technology.
The pharmaceutical supply chain presents unique logistical challenges. For one thing, many products in this sector are subject to extensive compliance regulations that dictate how a particular product must be transported, stored, and distributed. Stringent time constraints and use-before dates can also apply, and in many cases, additional care must be taken to ensure that pharmaceutical supplies are not compromised or contaminated. All of this makes the supply chain…

In the past decade, major breakthroughs have been made in all aspects of material research, covering almost all material types.
In the past decade, major breakthroughs have been made in all aspects of material research, covering almost all material types. For instance, graphene, the value of which was not recognized initially, has been found to be potentially valuable in many electronic applications such as solar cells, transistors, camera sensors, digital screens, and semiconductors. Besides, research on other materials such as metals, bulk metallic glasses, high-performance alloys, ceramics and glass has been also intensified. Materials that developed quickly in the past 10 years Because composite materials and hybrid materials can withstand harsh environments, such as bulk materials, com…

‘Beyond the Pill’ principles have been well accepted for some time now. Nonclinical solutions - digital, financial, or care-based - boost patient outcomes and benefit the entire health system.
