Robotics and Automation in Pharma Manufacturing
Episode 108
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
The technologies are playing an increasingly central role in pharmaceutical manufacturing as companies contend with labor constraints, rising demand, and the need to modernize highly regulated operations. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Alexander Shikany, executive vice president of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), about how robotics adoption is reshaping pharma manufacturing today. The conversation explores why automation is now considered a core manufacturing strategy, where demand is emerging across the production lifecycle, how collaborative robots are gaining traction in regulated environments, and why human-in-the-loop automation remains essential for quality, compliance, and operational resilience.
