Recent trends in the usage of robotics in pharmacy
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Robotics is the science and technology of robots, and their design, manufacture, and application. Roboticists also study electronics, mechanics and software. The first ABB robot, for instance, was installed in 1974 in the automotive field. Since then, more than 150000 have been installed globally including a large proportion in the pharmaceutical field. In the world of pharmaceuticals, there is a vital role for robotics to play in the complicated processes of research and development, production, and packaging. Justification for robots ranges from improved worker safety to improved quality. Speeding up the drug discovery process is another benefit of robotics. A number of robot manufacturers have products specifically designed for this industry. Industrial robotics for pharmaceutical applications has a bright future. With a rapidly aging population that urgently requires sophisticated medical devices and newer drugs, robotics systems are increasingly adopted for improved productivity and efficiency to meet this growing demand. However, industrial robotics manufacturers face several challenges in their effort to establish themselves in pharmaceutical applications. Key among these is the incompatibility of their controller software with existing installed equipment.
