As we roll out our 2023 operational plans, the medical device industry is set to witness some exciting developments and trends. Here are the top five trends to keep an eye on throughout the year:…

Survivalists say that abled bodies require a healthy supply of food, water, air, and shelter to survive. But to many diabetics, like myself, insulin must be added to the list. As a result, I’ve found that insulin dependent people are often fascinated by the technologies that replace the function of their MIA pancreata. This fascination is rivaled only by those that work in the Life Sciences and medical technology industry….

Increased output, greater product consistency, and decreased costs are just some of the benefits of improved productivity. But knowing where to begin on your efficiency journey can be a challenge. That’s why we’ve come up with 5 Ways to Improve Productivity in Pharma Manufacturing, an easy-a-to-implement guide for achieving long-term success….

In pharmacies, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are gaining popularity as a result of the advantages they offer over conventional manual storage techniques. As the name implies, these systems are created to automate the storage and retrieval of objects like pharmaceuticals and other medical products….

Few industries have quality requirements as strict as those of pharma manufacturing; every part of the process must be tightly controlled. The pharma industry faces multiple challenges, with failures in product, quality, or supply chain leading the way. With expectations that drugs will be produced faster and more cheaply, how can a manufacturer be prepared for what’s on the horizon?…

Lyophilization is basically a freeze-drying process that removes water from a product after it is frozen and placed under a vacuum, producing a soft powder, sometimes referred to as a cake. If we take that process and apply it to a single droplet of liquid, we are creating a lyo ‘bead’ rather than a lyo ‘cake’. Lyobeads are an excellent alternative to the traditional cakes…

It’s tough out there and the competition is fierce, no matter what industry you’re in or what product you’re introducing to meet a need – or create one. It’s a universal rule that whoever gets to market first gets the lion’s share, so there’s plenty of pressure to make each of your 24 hours a day work that much harder. But another rule says you can choose only two of good, cheap or fast….

To increase profit you can either sell at a higher price or cut the cost of production. Easy, right? When conventional responses don’t address modern and complex issues it’s time to consider new approaches….

It is common for manufacturers to look for efficiencies in their lines based on linear access; but more often manufacturers today are interested in the potential of robotics because they can either be integrated into existing lines or be built as an end-to-end solution. …
