New classes of biological medicines, new modalities and new industry pressures such as C&G therapy, small-scale, low-cost manufacturing plants, and continuous processing require a straight shift in biomanufacturing processes. If Pharma MES is located at the core of the Factory of the Future the industry needs to digitize and automate processes further and rely on the use of new technologies. Whereas i.e., C&G therapy is pushing digitalization and leads to new production IT strategies, current MES solutions are not as flexible, agile, and open as they need to be. So far, the pharmaceutical industry has not agreed on a common position but within the industry the movement from monolithic solutions to MES platform is visible.
In this Fishbowl! discussion, you can discuss with us:
3-4-All Fish.BOWL! Session is a plenary debate on the most important questions, challenges and solutions to the overarching topic of the event.
