Case Study: Novartis achieves efficient, secure pharmaceutical distribution with Dematic's ASRS

Novartis - Customer Case Study

Novartis, a pharmaceutical company, required a secure and automated system for handling finished goods in its federally regulated distribution facility in East Hanover, New Jersey. The vendor, Dematic, was selected to implement an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) to manage this environment.

Dematic provided a comprehensive solution that included a rack-supported structure, storage retrieval machines, an equipment management system, a conveyor system, and automated guided vehicles. The integrated system manages all inventory, communicates with Novartis's SAP ERP, and handles pallets from receiving to shipping. This implementation by Dematic drastically reduced labor costs, provided a high level of security, ensured excellent product integrity and tracking, minimized damage, and delivered a fast return on investment.
