Digitalization Influences The Pharmaceutical Industry

Industry 4.0 is all about creating seamless connectivity in between machines, processes, and people within and beyond manufacturing facilities to increase quality, productivity and profit by using the power of advanced data analytics.By using IoT solutions, pharma manufacturing companies can digitize and connect their various operations, increase efficiencies, enhance product quality and fulfil regulatory compliances. Pharma companies are tasked with examining data at every stage of the manufacturing process, right from the time raw materials arrives until the final product is packed and sent to distribution. In the traditional pharmaceutical facilities, the references and information about drug formulation, production and equipment and data of QA-QC are manually entered in data sheets, which are prone to human errors and can even be manipulated. However, with connected plant and IoT - solutions, manufacturers can access data in real time to monitor production, quality, OEE and condition of equipment. Mass customization and batch size one with cost-effective production is also possible with Industrial IoT.
