In the high-stakes world of pharmaceutical distribution, where product integrity directly impacts patient health, ALS delivers intelligent automation solutions that set new benchmarks for safety, compliance, and efficiency. We engineer systems that maintain uncompromising temperature control while accelerating throughput - because in pharma logistics, precision isn't optional, it's imperative.
Temperature-Controlled ASRS Solutions
Our automated storage and retrieval systems for pharmaceuticals combine climate-controlled environments with robotic precision. The ALS Pharma ASRS maintains 2-8°C or 15-25°C zones with ±0.5°C accuracy while achieving 99.99% inventory accuracy through integrated vision systems. One leading vaccine distributor achieved 40% faster order processing while eliminating temperature excursions completely after implementing our solution.
High-Density Shuttle Storage
The ALS Pharmaceutical Shuttle System maximizes storage density for high-value medications with its compact, modular design. Each humidity-controlled carton storage position includes integrated weight sensors and NFC tracking, enabling complete batch traceability from receiving to dispatch. The system's buffer capacity automatically prioritizes fast-moving SKUs, reducing picking times by 35%.
A-Frame Autopickers for Pharmacy Distribution
Our pharma-specific A-Frame systems process up to 2,400 lines/hour with near-zero error rates - critical when handling look-alike medications. The self-cleaning channels and anti-static design meet cleanroom standards while the integrated vision system verifies each unit against order specifications in real-time.
Smart Pharmacy Robotics
The ALS PharmaStore robotic system revolutionizes hospital and retail pharmacy operations. This compact automated dispensary handles 85% of typical formulary items with robotic precision, reducing dispensing errors by 99% while maintaining complete audit trails for controlled substances. The system's AI-powered inventory management automatically rotates stock by expiration date and generates reorder alerts.
GDP-Compliant Cold Chain Solutions
From +2°C to -80°C environments, our automated cold storage systems maintain perfect conditions while documenting every temperature fluctuation. The ALS Cold Chain ASRS features:
- Dual-compressor redundancy
- Automated defrost cycles
- 24/7 remote monitoring
- Complete audit trails meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11
- Paperless Picking Technologies
We implement the optimal picking technology for each operation - from voice-directed systems for sterile environments to augmented reality goggles for high-mix biologics. Our picking solutions reduce errors by 90% while providing real-time inventory visibility down to individual serial numbers.
Proven results across our pharmaceutical installations include:
- 50% reduction in order fulfillment time
- 99.97% picking accuracy
- Complete batch traceability
- 30% energy savings in cold storage
- 100% compliance with GDP/GMP
As pharmaceutical logistics face increasing complexity - from personalized medicines to global vaccine distribution - ALS provides the intelligent automation foundation to ensure product safety, regulatory compliance, and supply chain resilience.
Let's engineer a pharmaceutical logistics solution with ALS that protects your products and patients while optimizing your operations.
