Abstract

The implementation of Industry 4.0 will assist the healthcare sector in building reliable and sustainable supply chains. This research discusses about how the current technologies can lead to improve the existing supply chain management systems and how the drugs- one of the main component circulated in the supply chain be safeguarded from being replaced by counterfeits. As a result, this research study proposes a centralized system, which includes gathering and sending purchase orders, tracking the transportation of drugs, implementing a programme for drug exchanges in collaboration with numerous hospitals, and using AI models for demand forecasting to guard against shortage or oversupply conditions. To prevent an inflow of counterfeit supplies, blockchain technology is used to monitor pharmaceuticals and other medical products. To monitor the state of pharmaceutical products in storage facilities or warehouses, IIoT is employed. This improvement guarantees improved healthcare facilities and more transparency in the procurement procedures.

工业4.0在医疗保健行业供应链管理中的实施

工业4.0的实施将有助于医疗保健行业建立可靠和可持续的供应链。本研究讨论了当前的技术如何能够改善现有的供应链管理系统，以及如何保护在供应链中流通的主要组成部分之一的药品不被假药取代。因此，本研究提出了一个集中系统，其中包括收集和发送采购订单，跟踪药物运输，与众多医院合作实施药物交换计划，以及使用人工智能模型进行需求预测，以防止短缺或供应过剩。为了防止假冒供应品流入，区块链技术被用于监控药品和其他医疗产品。为了监测储存设施或仓库中药品的状态，采用了工业物联网。这一改进保证了医疗设施的改善和采购程序的更高透明度。
