6 TECH OUTLOOKMAY - 2021EditorialStacey Smith Editor-in-Chiefeditor@pharmatechoutlook.comUp until just a few years ago, much of the automation in the pharma sector consisted of ad-hoc setups, created by engineers with little experience in pharma industry. Obviously, these `robots' performed adequately; but in a strictly regulated sector like pharma--where consistency and traceability are essential--the demand for industry quality solutions are always changing.Over the last years, the robotics industry has stepped in to meet such changing needs. Now, automation is found throughout the pharma sector. Automated solutions are used to replace repetitive, tedious, and manual tasks in the lab, such as pipetting and mixing. Pharmacy automation is also easing human pharmacists' works by reading prescriptions and dispensing the correct medication with far fewer errors. However, what has also changed during this time is the pace at which pharma labs were adapting automation solutions so far. Particularly, with the emergence of COVID-19 and the resulting increased demand for testing and production, the demand for laboratory automation has accelerated.In this edition of Pharma Tech Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the most prominent organisations specialising in best-of-breed laboratory automation solutions and are significant drivers of key trends and strategies.
