November 28, 2016
This week's contributor is Jonathan Mayes, national professional services manager at Amneal Pharmaceuticals. While the conversation around automation for your DAA operation is not new, there are now more options available than ever to meet your requirements.When considering the alternatives available for DAA automation, there are many variables that need to be considered, such as which DAA presentation fits your business best -- blister packs or sachets, the amount of space that is required to accommodate a robot, the cost of hardware and software, financing options, and ongoing costs such as service and maintenance agreements. While gathering all of this information be sure to ask your DAA automation supplier what they can do to help drive your DAA volumes, to ensure that you maximise your return on investment.Seek out a supplier with dedicated DAA consultants, who have established DAA growth and patient engagement programs that will guide you and your staff on the automation journey, and ensure that you establish a DAA operation that can achieve and exceed your DAA growth targets. The right DAA packing automation solution will greatly improve your DAA pack output, scale your business for DAA growth and ensure you are less reliant of skilled staff members, while improving packed accuracy and overall DAA quality.
