To find out how GLAMS Automation Manager applications can help your company:

Overcoming the Challenges of Artwork Automation

1. Word files remain the preferred format for supplying regulatory content for pharmaceutical packaging components.
2. Pharmaceutical packaging components are formatted in Adobe InDesign, and artwork formatting can take 2–3 hours, involving hundreds of mouse clicks and the application of paragraph and character styles.
3. A lack of standardisation in layout and formatting, both in Word files and component design, makes this process more challenging.
4. GLAMS Automation Manager applications are designed as Adobe InDesign and Illustrator extensions, enabling semi-automated Word file import and formatting.

GLAMS Automation Manager works by:

1. Introducing new InDesign features that enable configurable automation for formatting pharmaceutical packaging components.
2. Simplifying and automating the transfer of content from semi-structured QRD files into an artwork template accurately and efficiently.
3. Developing a Run List, a series of automation steps that standardise Word file import and apply as much formatting as possible automatically.
4. Using standardised templates, the Run List can produce a file that is 50%, 75%, or even 90% complete.
5. Reducing the risk of manual formatting errors, improving overall quality.
