Customizing medicine through 3D printing has the potential to produce a better pill for the patient community; the days of struggling to wash down a horse-sized pill with a gallon of water are quickly coming to an end.
Fremont, CA: Pharmaceutical manufacturing is advancing rapidly as scientists and engineers create new solutions and medications to enhance patient health outcomes.
To keep up with the evolving healthcare sphere, the entire pharmaceutical industry is ramping up its technology game. Consider the devices that are modernizing the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry the next time you fill a prescription. Here are six critical technologies that will have a positive impact on the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry's future.
Automation Systems
Automation has increased manufacturing productivity across the board, so it should come as no surprise that pharmaceutical companies are reaping the benefits of the robot revolution.
Automation has the potential to reduce labor costs while also performing complex actions required in the development of pharmaceutical products. For example, genome testing utilizing automation systems could generate massive amounts of patient data and aid in the development of personalized care for each individual.
3D Printing Machines
3D printing of pills and tablets might be a big step forward for big pharma. Essentially, this technology can create specially shaped pills to meet the needs of patients, such as those who have difficulty swallowing, children, or the like.
Customizing medicine through 3D printing has the potential to produce a better pill for the patient community; the days of struggling to wash down a horse-sized pill with a gallon of water are quickly coming to an end. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US is particularly interested in advancing 3D printing throughout the pharmaceutical industry, demonstrating real promise for the efficacy of this technology.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Technology
Machine learning technology is capable of analyzing patient profiles and estimating drug efficacy. This information can then be used by researchers and pharmaceutical developers to create better drugs. This is another area where personalized drugs will become a reality in the near future.
Artificial intelligence gathers information and devises the most efficient ways to manufacture pharmaceutical products in pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize therapeutic engineering and factory efficiency.
