Quickly adapt pharma facilities to new demands with plug-and-play flexibility

Description

Today’s pharmaceutical industry is demanding more flexibility in manufacturing. Faced with rapidly evolving patient needs and relentless pressure to bring new drugs to market fast, companies must find ways to swiftly adapt, scale and optimize their production processes. But automation systems are traditionally rigid and expensive to change. To address this growing challenge, the manufacturing facility of the future is modular, using 'plug-and-play' technology to deliver greater versatility without increasing costs or compromising quality. In this webinar, you will find out how modular production based on this groundbreaking new standard is changing the industry for the better. You will also hear from Sebastian Härtner, Lead of Future Manufacturing for Life Science and Chemicals at EMD Electronics (a division of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). Sebastian will introduce how these flexible manufacturing practices were implemented at one facility and what they have accomplished as a result. Key learning objectives: Why pharmaceutical companies need flexibility in manufacturing, How modularity is achieved using the Module Type Package (MTP) standard from NAMUR NE 148, How a flexible approach makes planning easier for everything from physical connections to IT/OT cybersecurity, Who is already leveraging modular production, and how it is transforming their business.
