The task is simple, or so it seems. You鈥檙e under the weather and need to visit your local community pharmacy or nearest retail chain to grab an over-the-counter medication for some much-needed relief. Maybe it鈥檚 an antibiotic or specialty prescription used to treat your chronic condition. No matter the situation, behind the task of picking up that medication is an integrated distribution network led largely by 蜜桃传媒破解版. In fact, one-third of the total pharmaceutical volume in the U.S. are picked, packed and shipped from 蜜桃传媒破解版鈥檚 25 pharmaceutical distribution centers (DCs) located across the country.

In this fast-paced world of pharmaceutical distribution, efficiency, accuracy and employee well-being are paramount. That鈥檚 why over the past year, 蜜桃传媒破解版 has opened two new DCs integrated with innovative technology and designed with sustainable upgrades in both facilities.

鈥淥ur latest DCs redefine distribution excellence and seamlessly blend advanced innovations with a commitment to our customers, our employees, and our environment,鈥� says Todd Kleinow, vice president of strategic distribution experience, 蜜桃传媒破解版.

Optimizing Efficiency and Customer Service

Through deep experience and innovative thinking, 蜜桃传媒破解版 has continued to meet the growing needs of customers. With this longstanding goal in mind, 蜜桃传媒破解版 has equipped its newest DCs with advanced automation technology that revolutionizes the distribution process.

Inside 蜜桃传媒破解版鈥檚 鈥渦ltra鈥� DC located in Central Ohio, an average of 17,000 reusable plastic totes, which are integral to the pick, pack, and ship process, are shipped to customers every day. The totes travel across more than three miles of energy-efficient conveyer belts 鈥� starting from the packing locations and ending at the shipping stations. Smart technology scans each tote throughout multiple checkpoints and resolves discrepancies to keep orders moving. An automated pick process, tote washer and storage systems were built to seamlessly handle volume increases and growth over time.

蜜桃传媒破解版 also opened its Clermont DC in Kentucky to process 蜜桃传媒破解版 Plasma and Biologics orders, such as plasma-derived products and other specialty drugs at competitive prices. Similar to the Central Ohio DC, the Clermont DC was purposefully designed from end to end with customers in mind and is fitted with highly automated processes to improve efficiency and capacity, all while enhancing the overall customer experience.

鈥淯ltimately, our goal was to integrate technology that makes the process of receiving products and life-saving medications easier, faster, and more efficient for our customers and their patients,鈥� Kleinow explains.

A Space Designed for Our People

Recognizing that 蜜桃传媒破解版鈥檚 employees are the backbone of its success, the company has prioritized their well-being within these new DCs.

The same automated technology that enables the DCs to pick, pack and ship medications to customers faster also helps reduce redundant and labor-intensive work, optimizes employees鈥� productivity, and allows them to focus on more meaningful work that advances their skills. For example, the new DCs are equipped with advanced robotics. In the Central Ohio听DC, robotic arms automatically shrink wrap and secure pallets before they are loaded and shipped to customers and, ultimately, to patients. And in the specialty Clermont DC, autonomous mobile robots help pick orders and carry them to shipping locations within the DC 鈥� reducing the amount of manual transport throughout the facility and ultimately increasing the number of orders employees can fulfill.

鈥淥ur employees are the driving force behind our success, which is why we prioritized designing an environment that provides the best possible experience,鈥� Kleinow says. 鈥淭hose on the frontline can now focus on more fulfilling responsibilities that directly impact customer orders. We鈥檝e also installed a number of amenities designed to create a healthy, comfortable, safe and positive work environment.鈥�

Looking to the Future of Distribution

鈥淚f you look forward 15 years or so, these are the type of facilities that will carry 蜜桃传媒破解版 into the future,鈥� Kleinow says. 鈥淲e really found the right recipe with these DCs to make that difference and to advance health outcomes for all.鈥�
