SES104b - A Paradigm Shift in Aseptic Processing

Major issues affecting the drug product industry include long lead times, high equipment costs, and a reliance on modified legacy technologies that introduce operational compromises. To meet the unprecedented demand for pharmaceuticals, the industry needs to adopt a more responsive, modular, technology approach that overcomes the major issues affecting the industry.

This presentation introduces a paradigm shift in aseptic Fill Finish technology. Using the backdrop of a collaboration case study between three international companies (PM Group, G-CON and Pharma Integration), each offering something very different, it describes the innovation journey from vision to solution. By starting with first principles and adopting a range of technologies such as robotics, smart manufacturing, modular design and construction, the presentation will describe how the companies combined their knowledge and skill sets, and modified existing product offerings, to design and build a flexible equipment offering that is unique within the industry.
