Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this review is to evaluate developments in technology from the perspective of the pharmaceutical industry and to discuss the impact of Pharma 4.0 approach, which emerged with developing technology, on pharmaceutical production and R&D areas.
Result and Discussion: Pharmaceutical industry is one of the important industrial areas. However, the need to produce quality, effective and safe products has often been seen as a limiting factor in the pharmaceutical industry's ability to keep pace with technological advances. With the emergence of Industry 4.0 concept, the applicability of this approach in the pharmaceutical industry has started to be discussed. The use of key components of Industry 4.0 in the pharmaceutical industry, where data and experimental designs are crucial, has great potential for efficiency, efficacy, and safety. Pharma 4.0, which is defined as the pharmaceutical equivalent of Industry 4.0, promises to establish environmentally friendly production systems as well as increase efficiency and thus support sustainability. In the age of technology, where the whole world is undergoing a major transformation with the new industrial revolution, the pharmaceutical industry needs to adapt to these developments as soon as possible.
