Key Challenges in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing


Manufacturers of biopharmaceutical products face numerous challenges in materials handling and cleanroom operations. This industry operates within strictly regulated cleanroom environments where dust, microbes, and particles are prohibited. Additionally, these facilities require a variety of industrial equipment for pharmaceutical materials handling.

Safety Risks


Pharmaceutical equipment typically holds valuable media that demand careful movement and positioning. This heavy industrial equipment can lead to ergonomic strains, including pain in the back or shoulders. Tasks like palletizing, depalletizing, and navigating through different facilities can cause fatigue and reduce overall production.


Bottlenecks


Bottlenecks in pharmaceutical manufacturing can lead to compliance concerns, delays in project timelines, and negatively impact overall productivity. Quality control and sterility testing are time-consuming, and GMP and FDA guidelines require strict handling procedures. Contamination risks from workers are one of the primary sources of delays in production and output in this industry.


Reliability Issues


The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry operates under tough conditions. It uses a wide range of chemicals, including acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and ethanol. Additionally, it is subject to high temperatures and meticulous cleaning routines. Regular cleaning and the use of harsh chemicals can wear down industrial equipment. Production disruptions caused by equipment failure can be costly and disrupt the supply chain.
