Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical distribution requires the controlled and accurate movement of sensitive products through every stage of storage and fulfillment. Solutions In Action (SIA) designs tailored material handling systems that help support reliable product flow, temperature-regulated handling, and consistent organization across pharmaceutical facilities.

Each system begins with a detailed needs assessment and is built around your environment, compliance requirements, and operational demands.

Pharmaceutical Material Handling Solutions

Material handling in the pharmaceutical industry must comply with strict regulations and support both accuracy and reliability at every step. Our team evaluates your workflow and designs systems that support consistent movement of products through receiving, storage, packaging, and distribution.

Our equipment and layout planning accounts for temperature control, contamination prevention, and traceability requirements standard in pharmaceutical operations.

Common use cases include:

  • Returns handling and restocking.
  • Order picking for high-SKU environments.
  • Carton and tote transport for fulfillment lines.
  • Receiving and putaway for packaged and bulk goods.
  • Controlled storage for temperature-sensitive products.
  • Compliance-driven product tracking and organization.

Each solution is tailored to support efficient handling while maintaining the accuracy your operation depends on.

Supporting Safe, Controlled Product Movement

Pharmaceutical products often require stable, low-impact handling. We design systems that help maintain organized flow with minimized manual contact, which can reduce handling errors and support consistent product conditions. This includes solutions that guide cartons, totes, and containers through defined paths, support smooth transfers, and create clear separation of workflows where needed.

Optimized Storage and Facility Layouts

Storage needs in pharmaceutical distribution vary widely based on product form, size, and environmental requirements. At Solutions in Action, we provide pharmaceutical warehousing automation solutions that help maximize storage density, maintain product integrity, and ensure rapid order turnaround.

Our team evaluates your facility layout, racking, and SKU characteristics to design storage plans that improve organization and accessibility.

Examples include:

  • Pallet storage layouts for bulk goods.
  • Defined zones for ambient, cool, or specialty products.
  • Carton flow and lane-based storage for high-volume SKUs.
  • Space-efficient systems that help maintain clear travel paths.
  • Workstations that support scanning, labeling, and verification tasks.

These designs are configured for reliable movement and steady throughput throughout your facility.

Automation Systems for Pharmaceutical Logistics

An automated pharmaceutical fulfillment system improves pick accuracy, minimizes human error, and ensures your operation keeps pace with growing order volumes. Our pharma distribution automation systems streamline order fulfillment, support traceability, and enable consistent product flow from storage to distribution.

Our design automated systems may include:

  • Robotic palletizing and depalletizing.
  • Sortation systems for multi-line distribution.
  • Conveyor systems for carton and tote transport.
  • Controlled flow equipment for sensitive product movement.
  • Transfer cars for high-density storage or long-distance movement.

Systems are selected based on your requirements for speed, precision, and predictable handling.

Tailored Systems for Compliance-Focused Environments

Pharmaceutical operations typically adhere to stringent guidelines for documentation, cleanliness, and controlled processes. Our team accounts for these needs during system design and ensures your equipment layout supports clear workflows, traceability, and consistent product handling.

Every project begins with a thorough assessment of your facility and operational requirements, ensuring the final system aligns with your goals and regulatory environment.
