INDUSTRY APPLICATION
Healthcare & Pharma
Plan warehouse processes around traceability, process control and applicable regulated-operation requirements.
01Operational challenges
Traceability
Inventory events across receiving, storage, replenishment and picking.
Inventory status
Segregation and status rules that govern access and issue.
Controlled actions
User actions and exceptions in manual and automated processes.
Project qualification
Operation-specific regulatory and validation requirements.
02What we would assess
Product profile
SKUs, container types and handling conditions.
Identification and status
Required lot or batch identification, inventory states and traceability events.
Workflow and exceptions
Replenishment, picking and exception-handling workflows.
Permissions and segregation
Access permissions and user or process controls.
System responsibilities
Host interfaces and responsibility for inventory records.
Manual intervention
Intervention points and how the operation records each action.
Review and validation
Applicable product, operation and jurisdiction requirements, including required review or validation.
03Design considerations
CoreLogis would define the required inventory states, traceability events and segregation rules before configuring storage and software. Review routine replenishment alongside exceptions, returns and manual intervention, including who may act and what information must pass to the host system.
Applicable regulatory, validation and process-control requirements must be defined for the specific product, operation and jurisdiction. Establish the review responsibilities and acceptance evidence for the project; an automated storage system alone does not establish regulatory compliance.
04Architecture options
- Automated Picking & Fulfilment
Evaluate controlled picking and replenishment, with automated small-item storage where container and access requirements support it.
- Production & Material Flow
Review transfers and buffers between storage and production or packing, including required segregation and manual handoffs.
- Warehouse Control & Integration
Define inventory-status exchanges, traceability events, user controls and exception responsibilities before specifying interfaces.
05Relevant technologies
Tote-based or miniload storage may fit compatible unit loads and the required access model. Review the selected equipment and WMS/WCS configuration against the defined process controls. Establish any required pharmaceutical review or validation separately for the selected configuration.
