Pharma-Smart Engine: Stacker AS/RS Builds a Secure & Efficient New Line for Pharmaceutical Warehousing

Traditional flat warehouses had only 35% space utilization, high manual sorting error rates, difficult shelf-life management, and high compliance risks, failing to meet multi-category pharmaceutical storage needs. To address these pain points, the company prioritized a secure, efficient, and scalable storage-and-fulfillment upgrade that improves batch/expiry traceability, reduces picking errors, and supports standardized compliance workflows—key requirements for reliable pharmaceutical warehousing solutions.

• Built a ASRS system with 20,000+ positions, boosting space utilization to 82%

• Stackers + conveyors enabled fully automated access, sorting and inventory for pharmaceuticals

• WMS linked with stackers, integrating GSP compliance control, expiry alerts and batch traceability

1. Stringent GSP compliance requirements, meeting pharmaceutical industry norms for temperature/humidity and batch traceability

2. Diverse pharmaceutical packaging, requiring precise and stable access for stackers

3. Real-time synchronization with ERP and hospital HIS systems for closed-loop full-link data

• Compliance Assurance: Full pharmaceutical traceability achieved, with 100% GSP certification pass rate

• Efficiency Leap: Sorting efficiency increased by 200%, error rate reduced to <0.03%

• Cost Optimization: Labor costs cut by 65%, saving over 4 million yuan annually
