Drug Supply Chain: The Workroom. Thinking the future!
See first-hand how the evolution of worldwide regulations and the innovation
introduced by the new technologies are reshaping the future of the pharmaceutical
supply chain.
This is the purpose of the new Pharmintech project: The workroom, a demonstration
area in the trade fair, open to all visitors and conceived as a place to reflect on a
collaborative model through new and familiar themes: Serialization, Track & Trace,
Cold Chain, Visibility, Custom Drugs, Digital Economy, Emerging Markets, Hub
Regulators. The anti-counterfeiting will be a central theme of Pharmintech 2016: it
will be possible to analyse and understand the opportunities offered by the new
regulations, the GDP (Good Distribution Practices), the new technologies, by outlining
the future scenario of the whole pharmaceutical supply chain.
All trade visitors will have the opportunity to interact with the most innovative
technology solutions designed by the partners of Pharmintech, and represented with
the collaboration of selected exhibitors chosen by Pharmintech, to better address the
changes and opportunities that the pharmaceutical supply chain will experience in the
upcoming years.
The Workroom will be focus on the future of the supply chain as a result of the
combination of the implementation of new technologies. The goal is to present its
complexity and constraints, but also opportunities, arising from the changes taking
place in the whole supply chain in the near future: from the manufacturing to the
distribution of the product, up to the pharmacy and data management .
These themes will be presented through a program of workshops and thematic
sessions and live demos that will walk visitos through the steps of production and
distribution along the chain.
