Precise solutions for pharmaceutical requirements

Product spectrum and dosage forms

Depending on the project and regulatory framework, the product scope includes medicinal products, medical devices and diagnostics in all relevant pharmaceutical dosage forms—including temperature-sensitive and refrigerated articles.

Medicinal productsPrescription and non-prescription medicines, OTC products, vaccines, biologicals and specialty medicines.

Medical devices & diagnosticsMedical devices, in-vitro diagnostics, diagnostic tests, reagents and associated healthcare articles.

Dosage formsTablets, capsules, powders, granules, solutions, suspensions, drops, syrups, creams, ointments, gels, patches, suppositories, inhalation, nasal and ophthalmic preparations.

Sterile & temperature-controlledInjections, infusions, pre-filled syringes and pens as well as refrigerated articles, typically at 2–8 °C, and products with other defined transport and storage ranges.

Pharmaceutical warehouse design principles

Contract logistics translates regulatory and product-specific requirements into zones, technology, processes, data and measurable service levels.

Temperature zonesProduct-specific zones such as controlled room temperature, typically 15–25 °C, refrigerated storage at 2–8 °C and, where required, qualified frozen ranges.

Segregation & statusClear separation of quarantine, released, blocked, returned and recalled stock, plus protected areas for controlled, hazardous or high-value products.

Intralogistics & dataSuitable pallet, shelving and bin systems; FIFO or FEFO; scanning and warehouse data for batch, serial number, expiry and location traceability.

Qualification & resilienceTemperature mapping, calibrated monitoring, alarms, contingency plans, cleaning, pest monitoring, access control, maintenance and documented inspections.

Inbound handling, warehousing and inventory control

Structured goods receipt, identity and quantity checks, quarantine and release status, batch traceability, expiry monitoring and FIFO or FEFO principles create reliable inventory and auditable product movements.

Order picking, packing and dispatch

Order-based picking, pack verification, suitable shipping packaging, labelling, inserts, kitting and handover to qualified transport partners are organised around the product and target market.

Value-added services for healthcare and pharma

Depending on the regulatory framework, repacking, relabelling, promotional kits, display assembly, serialisation and master-data processes, plus customer-specific documentation, can be integrated into the logistics concept.

Returns, recalls and deviations

Defined workflows for returned goods, status assessment, blocked inventory, destruction interfaces, recall support and deviation handling keep non-releasable or unclear stock safely segregated.

Temperature, security and hygiene

Temperature zones and cold rooms, continuous monitoring, alarm and escalation routes, access controls, documented cleaning, pest monitoring and risk-based security concepts are aligned with products and operating model.
