How IOT Can Solve Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Challenges

1. Rejig Digital 01 How IOT Can Solve Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Challenges Connected Pharma, Trusted Supply

2. Hanover 02 Introduction: The Critical Role of Supply Chain in Pharma The pharmaceutical supply chain is one of the most intricate and highly regulated systems, where precision, compliance, and efficiency are non-negotiable. The integrity of this supply chain directly impacts patient safety, regulatory adherence, and business continuity. Key Considerations: Regulatory Compliance: Strict global guidelines (FDA, EMA, WHO, GMP) mandate precise tracking and reporting. Product Integrity: Temperature-sensitive medicines require controlled storage and transportation. Counterfeit Prevention: Ensuring drug authenticity through end-to-end traceability. Operational Efficiency: Reducing waste, optimizing logistics, and minimizing disruptions. IoT Integration: Leveraging real-time monitoring, automation, and predictive analytics for a smarter, more resilient supply chain. Learn More

3. Rejig Digital 03 Key Challanges in Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Maintaining Product Integrity & Safety Regulatory Compliance & Audits Biologics and vaccines require strict environmental control during storage and transport; any deviation can compromise their safety and efficacy. Maintaining specified conditions is essential for patient safety. Pharmaceuticals must comply with strict global regulations, ensuring meticulous documentation and traceability; non- compliance risks severe penalties. Counterfeit Drug Prevention Supply Chain Resilience Counterfeit drugs threaten patient health and erode trust in healthcare systems. Implementing robust anti- counterfeiting measures is essential to ensure safety and maintain confidence. Unpredictable events like equipment failures, geopolitical tensions, and natural disasters can disrupt pharmaceutical supply chains. Building resilience is essential to maintain continuous supply.

4. Rejig Digital 04 Challenge 1 – Ensuring Product Quality & Safety Pharmaceutical products, particularly biologics and vaccines, are highly sensitive to environmental conditions. Deviations in temperature, humidity, or light exposure during storage and transportation can compromise their efficacy and patient safety. Maintaining strict control over these parameters is essential to ensure product integrity. Real-Time Environmental Monitoring Automated Alerts: Rejig Digital's IoT-enabled sensors continuously track critical environmental parameters—such as temperature, humidity, and light exposure—throughout the storage and transportation phases. The system is programmed to send immediate notifications to relevant stakeholders if any monitored condition deviates from predefined thresholds, enabling swift corrective actions to prevent product degradation AI-Driven Analytics: Predictive Maintenance: Advanced analytics tools analyze the collected data to optimize storage and transportation conditions dynamically, ensuring continuous adherence to optimal environmental parameters. IoT solutions enhance pharmaceutical supply chains by ensuring product integrity, regulatory compliance, and resilience through real-time monitoring and analytics

5. 05 Rejig Digital Challenge 3 - Combatting Counterfeit Drugs Counterfeit pharmaceuticals present a significant threat to public health, leading to ineffective treatments and potentially fatal outcomes. Traditional tracking methods are often fragmented, hindering the verification of product authenticity and allowing counterfeit drugs to infiltrate the supply chain. End-to-End Product Authentication Real-Time Supply Chain Transparency Empowering Consumers Against Counterfeits AI-Powered Product Authentication AI assigns unique identifiers to products, enabling real-time verification and detecting counterfeit risks through dynamic data analysis. End-to-end product authentication uses IoT tracking and blockchain to ensure secure, traceable, and tamper-proof pharmaceutical products. IoT and blockchain enable real-time monitoring, offering full visibility and permanent transaction records for compliance and auditing. User-friendly apps allow consumers to verify product authenticity, while educational efforts reduce counterfeit drug circulation.

6. Rejig Digital 06 Challenge 4 Mitigating Supply Chain Disruptions Pharmaceutical supply chains are highly susceptible to various disruptions that can severely impact the timely availability of critical medications. These disruptions can stem from equipment failures, unforeseen delays, or large- scale events such as pandemics, geopolitical tensions, and natural disasters. Such interruptions not only lead to supply shortages but also negatively affect patient care and health outcomes. Read More
