Life Sciences Industry is Evolving

Extended value chains and networks in the pharmaceutical industry are becoming more global and complex in nature, making visibility of structured product and recipe data across the value chain a vital issue for efficient tech transfer, scale-up and distributed global manufacturing.

Is Your Data Working With or Against You?

Process Development

  • Complex formulations and supply chains make it challenging to characterize variability
  • Siloed systems make it difficult to get feedback on manufacturing effectiveness and to improve process performance
  • Difficulty setting batch performance metrics from product development to manufacturing

Manufacturing Operations

  • Reliance on personnel to operate highly complex processes that cannot be fully automated introduces variability
  • High risk of microbial contamination
  • Lack of real-time monitoring of process variability makes it difficult to achieve the Golden Batch for each run

QA & Regulatory Affairs

  • Manual report generation for annual product reviews
  • Manual tracking of deviation and OOS is resource intensive and time consuming
