05.13.20 -- Integrating Automation And Data Science To Optimize Process Strategies

As a growing contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for biologics and advanced therapies, Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies recognized the criticality of flexibility and efficiency in manufacturing. Through a successful implementation, Fujifilm was able to not only recognize the benefits an integrated automation platform offers, but also the importance of working with an experienced partner.

Integrating automation in a biomanufacturing environment successfully can become a daunting task without the right preparation and a clear implementation strategy. Through proper planning of your automation integration you can eliminate costly errors and missteps and focus on developing efficient, future-proof automation strategies.

While slower to adopt automation than other industries, the pharmaceutical industry continues to find ways to use it for improving quality and speed-to-market. Currently, there is a transformation taking place that will pave the way for even more changes in how the industry approaches drug manufacturing.

The need for process optimization, regulatory compliance, and supply chain improvements is driving investment in automation technologies across the life science industry. This article discusses the impact that multiproduct manufacturing facilities, single-use technologies, continuous manufacturing, and industry 4.0 will have on automation.

In highly regulated industries such as the biopharmaceutical industry, data creates the foundation upon which quality and compliance are based. Automation is an essential element in the acquisition and management of data at each phase, from the supply chain to the boardroom. 

For many years, manufacturing plants have been generating more and better data. Some companies have started harnessing this information to gain valuable insights that could improve efficiency, productivity, and growth. Recent advances in asset performance management owe much to the digital manufacturing revolution. New Age of Digital Biomanufacturing Poster.
