Abstract

This paper looks at how the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing supply chains in the pharmaceutical industry. IoT means using smart devices like sensors, trackers, and software to collect and share data. In the pharmaceutical supply chain, this helps companies track products in real time, keep drugs at the right temperature, and make sure medicines are not fake. The paper explains how IoT is used for things like managing inventory, keeping machines working properly, and following safety rules. It also talks about the challenges, such as excessive costs, data privacy, and the need for skilled workers. Finally, the paper gives suggestions for how companies can use IoT better in the future. Overall, using IoT can help make pharmaceutical supply chains safer, faster, and more efficient.
