Digital supported production of medical cannabis

A challenge whose success lies in efficient process management and digital development! The times of digitalisation and Industry 4.0 do not stop at the production of medical cannabis for the pharmaceutical industry. The combination of IT systems and blockchain-based processes allows the value-added chain to be automated and the data generated to be mapped in a tamper-proof manner.

An Outline of the German Medical Cannabis Market

The medical cannabis market has grown significantly in recent years. In Germany, the quantity of imported cannabis products has increased dramatically. In comparison to only 1.2 tons in 2017, German medical cannabis distributors imported about 3.13 metric tons of cannabis flowers for direct medical care of patients in 2018, while around 120 kg have been re-exported. In 2019, this amount doubled to around 6.7 tons.
