Speed to market remains a key driver for the digitalization of long-standing paper-based processes in drug manufacturing. Bottlenecks such as manual execution and review—all associated with bloated documentation—prevent companies from aligning with the FDA’s vision for advanced manufacturing to achieve continuous improvement. Manufacturers like GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) are embracing Pharma 4.0 and paperless technologies to help bring quality medicines to patients more quickly.

The ability of bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers to deliver quality drug products during challenging market conditions is critical for ensuring sustainability over the long run. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need to transform the traditional bio-pharmaceutical supply chain to have greater agility and resiliency during market swings and periods of volatility.

Sustainability remains top-of-mind for most executives as they work to balance environmental concerns with business performance. Digital solutions have emerged as a key enabler to help companies make progress toward their sustainability goals.

Pharma and biotech companies face a pivotal next step in addressing the increased complexity of production while balancing mounting cost pressures with the need to ensure product quality, security of supply and regulatory compliance.

While most chemical companies have sustainability initiatives in place with varying reliance on digital technologies to achieve these goals, challenges remain. What are the key enablers to eliminate emissions and waste, extend material use and regenerate natural systems? How do new innovations accelerate this effort?

Digital transformation seeks to use technology to achieve your goals: fewer errors, more production, better product quality and improved customer service. The vertical integration of enterprise and IT technologies — also known as "smart manufacturing" or Industry 4.0 — synchronizes commercial systems, such as production orders from the ERP, with manufacturing systems like the DCS, weigh scales or barcode readers. This webinar will show you how can reduce product quality errors, batch cycle times and operating costs
