Quality as a strategic focus in the pharmaceutical industry
Adopting a quality philosophy that goes beyond mere regulatory compliance is essential to standing out in the pharmaceutical industry. The integration of advanced technologies, such as biometrics, represents an effective solution to ensure regulatory compliance and achieve superior quality standards.
In the pharmaceutical industry, quality assurance is essential. Innovation, excellence in procedures and perfection in products are what make you a benchmark in the industry. However, staying at the top requires a continuous improvement process: New challenges demand innovative solutions, and increasing competition necessitates faster, more efficient, and convenient operations across all areas.
The pharmaceutical industry is extremely rigorous when it comes to the quality and safety of its products, compelling production teams to comply with strict regulations and high standards while consistently optimizing processes and enhancing productivity.
Although regulations vary slightly between regions, they are globally similar, with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration of the United States) and the EMA (European Medicines Agency) being the primary regulatory bodies. These regulations apply not only to the manufacturing of medicines but also encompass all links in the value chain, from the production of ingredients to final distribution.
Their responsibility is to inspect and oversee the production, marketing, and distribution of various products, such as active ingredients, medicines, medical devices, biological products, veterinary products, and cosmetics, ensuring compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and other relevant regulations for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. We invite you to read our article FDA inspections in the pharmaceutical industry for more information.
In particular, the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) involves highly complex processes that must meet stringent quality requirements for both systems and products, as well as strict safety standards and a challenging regulatory environment. APIs are the essential components of any drug, as it is the ingredient responsible for the drug to treat or prevent a disease.
Each stage of the production of these ingredients must be carried out in accordance with GMP regulations to ensure that the API is not only effective but also guarantees the safety of the medication for human consumption. Any variation in the quality of active ingredients can directly impact the safety and efficacy of the final drug, highlighting the importance of rigorous quality control throughout the manufacturing process.
Currently, there is a wide number of API producers worldwide, which has increased competition in the sector. As a result, customers have become increasingly demanding and rigorous when selecting their API suppliers, prioritizing those that can guarantee the highest quality standards and, of course, regulatory compliance.
Maximum quality as a differentiating factor
In a market where competition is increasingly intense, API companies cannot limit themselves to basic compliance with quality standards and regulations. Today, simple regulatory compliance, although necessary, is no longer enough to stand out.
Companies aiming to stand out must adopt a quality philosophy that goes beyond regulatory requirements, continuously striving for excellence at every stage of the value chain.
Adopting a proactive approach to quality and implementing processes that ensure high standards in areas such as production, control, and distribution enables companies to establish themselves as leaders in a sector where the safety of medications—and, consequently, patient safety—is paramount.
This focus on quality was one of the key topics discussed in the recent webinar held between Verázial Labs and Ambit BST. During the event, topics related to the implementation of technological solutions to ensure, at a specific point, the highest possible quality in drug production were addressed, as well as other relevant aspects of regulatory compliance and product safety.

What measures can be implemented to provide maximum quality?
To ensure the safety of medications, it is essential to comply with GMP regulations, which highlight data integrity as a crucial aspect. This necessitates adherence to the fundamental principles known as ALCOA+. This acronym, coined by the FDA, refers to the attributes that data must possess to be accurate and consistent: they must be attributable (identifying who recorded the data and when), legible (both now and in the future), contemporaneous (recorded at the time of acquisition), and original, among other criteria. These attributes are vital for maintaining data integrity and traceability.
Traditional methods of employee identification and process control in drug production present significant security challenges, which can compromise data integrity, impact regulatory compliance, and ultimately diminish operational quality.
One of the most effective ways to adopt a philosophy of maximum quality is through the implementation of advanced technologies at various stages of the manufacturing process. In this context, integrating biometric technologies for the secure employee identification is essential, as it allows compliance with the principles of data integrity and traceability.
Biometrics enables identification based on unique physical traits, thus removing the risk of errors or impersonation. This approach doesn’t only ensure strict adherence to ALCOA+ principles, safeguarding data integrity, but it simultaneously elevates quality standards across all areas: operations, processes, and products. By removing the need for carrying physical IDs or remembering passwords, biometric systems enhance employee convenience and significantly reduce time consumption during identification and verification processes. This increase in operational efficiency, in turn, optimizes quality throughout every stage of the pharmaceutical production process, resulting in safer, more reliable products.
