Industry Overview

Pharmaceutical

The pharmaceutical industry is essential for developing, producing, and distributing medications that improve health and save lives. Pharmaceutical warehouses and distribution centers ensure the safe handling of products, precise temperature control, and timely delivery, all while adhering to strict regulatory standards.

Key challenges include managing temperature-sensitive materials, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing supply chain efficiency. Companies must handle fluctuating demand, prevent product degradation, and control costs. Advanced solutions like cold storage equipment, automated tracking systems, and real-time monitoring are critical to maintaining safety, efficiency, and compliance in this demanding industry.

Industry Challenges

Addressing the industry's challenges, ProLift provides equipment solutions designed to support and advance your short- and long-term business objectives.

Safety

  • Improper handling and storage of raw materials or finished products increases the risk of contamination, which is especially critical in regulated environments.
  • Workers handling products in refrigerated or frozen storage face physical strain and potential health risks due to prolonged exposure to cold temperatures.

Total Cost

  • Equipment must be tailored to meet specific requirements, such as operating in cold storage or handling fragile products, increasing costs.
  • Damage caused by improper forklift use or inadequate storage conditions can lead to expensive product loss.

Economic Life

  • Equipment in cold storage accelerates wear and tear, reducing their operational life.
  • Refrigerated and cleanroom environments can lead to condensation, rust, and damage to forklifts and other material handling systems.
  • Conventional lead-acid batteries in forklifts degrade quickly in cold storage conditions, requiring frequent replacement.

Productivity

  • Standard forklifts or material handling equipment may not be optimized for transporting delicate or small pharmaceutical packages, slowing operations.
  • Sudden spikes in demand, such as during public health emergencies, place extra pressure on handling and distribution systems.

Services

  • Maintaining forklifts and other machinery in cleanroom or cold storage settings requires specialized service protocols, adding complexity and cost.
  • Inadequate operator training on safe handling of sensitive products and efficient forklift operation can lead to errors and safety risks.
