Today, the global pharmaceutical industry is continuously evolving - a promising business. According to the “e-Pharmacy Market” report by Global Market Insights in 2020, the global online pharmaceutical market will reach $149 billion with a compound annual growth rate of 14.3% for the 2020-2026 period. 

Along with the development comes the demand for logistics and warehousing: solutions for storage, preservation and distribution. 

To solve the problem, many manufacturers around the world have created a smart warehouse system to help optimize the management and storage process, including Modula. Modula has brought to the market the Modula Smart Warehouse System for automatic storage in the pharmaceutical sector. 

Some of the major problems faced by the pharmaceutical industry in logistics management

• The need for appropriate storage space and preservation conditions for medicines (bulky products, fragile products, refrigerated products, etc.)
• The variety of pharmaceutical products. 
• The “Short” time available for order fulfillment. 
• Conditions of picking and distribution.
