EFFECTIVE MANUFACTURERS DELIBERATE through the processes right from conformance to performance. These manufacturers likely merge objectives, processes, and technologies between quality and manufacturing to achieve constructive results. That is what life sciences manufacturing calls for. Higher on-delivery time and successful new product introductions are the hallmark of companies into manufacturing for life sciences. For the first time, Manufacturing Today explores how this sector operates, its priorities, practice adoptions, R&D focus, among other things.
Life science is a unique industry with its own workflows, regulatory frameworks, and business risks. Significant benefits of manufacturing for Life sciences can be obtained through the deployment of advanced automation and manufacturing information systems. It is set apart from other industries by being forwardthinking, using leading-edge technologies, being highly competitive and fast-paced; whilst doing all these things within a regulatory framework. The products produced in the life science industry are highly complex batches of high value and are potentially lifesaving to the end-user. The majority of the products are consumer goods, such as medications, vaccines, medical devices, it is thus paramount that production processes be as efficient and safe as possible.
Like most industries, the life science industry has changed significantly over the past 10 years. To develop more effective therapeutic solutions and faster diagnostic systems, industry leaders are now exploring automation for product development. To address the shift, pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturers look to connect systems, people, and data - characterized by more predictive and adoptive facilities that leverage automated, integrated product design, simulation, advanced 3D printing, and digital twin.
