APPLICATION OF AI TOOL IN PHARMACEUTICAL WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry's ongoing growth and changing supply chain dynamics have prompted the adoption of cutting-edge warehouse optimization solutions. Augmented Reality (AR) is emerging as a transformative technique for addressing the complex difficulties of pharmaceutical warehousing. This review paper dives into the use of augmented reality (AR) technologies in pharmaceutical warehousing, providing an in-depth analysis of its uses, benefits, problems, and future possibilities. The review begins by examining the various applications of AR in pharmaceutical warehousing, including order picking, inventory management and quality control, using case studies to demonstrate how AR improves accuracy, efficiency, and compliance in these critical areas. Additionally, the article examines the ergonomic benefits of AR in minimizing human error and increasing worker productivity. While emphasizing the benefits of AR, the review also notes the difficulties in implementing it in highly regulated pharmaceutical industries. Compliance with regulatory norms, data security problems, and initial financial investments are all thoroughly examined, with insights into potential solutions provided.

Finally, this review summarizes the current state of augmented reality applications in pharmaceutical warehousing, emphasizing the technology's critical role in transforming the industry's logistics landscape. With the help of a case study, it discusses future directions, pointing out opportunities for additional research and development in this promising sector. This review is a vital resource for understanding the possibilities of augmented reality in pharmaceutical storage as pharmaceutical companies seek to optimize their supply chain operations.
