Easing the Ongoing COVID-19 Vaccination Drive a Boon
Per the
latest Bloomberg data
, COVID-19 vaccines are being administered at a rate of 14.5 million doses per day, currently. Further, above 559 million COVID-19 vaccine shots are already delivered across 141 countries.
Notably, a fast, efficient and timely delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to the masses, which had left major negative impacts on the world economy, remains severely challenging.
Nevertheless, advanced technologies are playing an instrumental role in carrying out the vaccination drive efficiently and smoothly throughout the world.
Industry 4.0 technologies, such as cloud computing, AI, blockchain, machine learning (ML) and the IoT hold potential to analyze the huge amount of data that is being generated during the global vaccination process.
To be precise, automation and AI are widely addressing the challenges of manufacturing vaccination shots in billions. Further, automated solutions showed great success in managing cold-chain operations of the pharmaceutical companies.
Furthermore, computer vision technology and robotics are gaining momentum from backing the data entry component of vaccine distribution.
