Novartis BioProduction Operations Singapore shares our journey of paperless manufacturing, the vision is fulfilled mainly by implementing Emerson’s Syncade MES to replace the existing paper batch records and logbooks in a brownfield manufacturing plant. The unique journey embarked by Novartis aims to develop the internal skillsets and reap the rewards of the locally trained team, transiting from vendor project managed implementation to local based project management and implementation.

• Project: Our implementation road map, system architecture overview, low hanging fruits, challenges from the project, product and organization transformation mid-way through
• Talent: From running production to writing SQL queries – building the team of biotechs and documentation specialist to MES specialist enabling vendor implementation to local team implementation and operational support
• Vision: What is next for MES in SGBO? Digitalization of non-process logbooks, expansion into QC to replace their LDS and logbooks. Easy of data extraction, communication to benchtop equipment.
