Digitalization is transforming pharmaceutical manufacturing by helping organizations produce medicines faster, more flexibly and with greater operational integrity. Emerson highlights four technologies driving this transformation: predictive scheduling, real-time release testing, digitalized technology transfer and autonomous plant technologies.
These technologies can help manufacturers improve production planning, monitor quality during production, reduce delays caused by traditional testing processes and accelerate the transfer of manufacturing processes between facilities.
The article also explores how predictive maintenance, process analytical technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital twins can support increasingly autonomous manufacturing environments.
Emerson notes that digitalized technology transfer has the potential to significantly reduce the time required to move therapies from development into commercial production.
