EU23CEDEC1/SES405 - Digital-Engineering To Operations-Realization Insights

Digital-Engineering to Operations-Realization Insights | Several, often interlinked trends are currently the driving change in the pharmaceutical industry and placing unprecedented demands on agility, flexibility and adaptability. To achieve the expected profit, production of a new drug should start immediately after its approval. However, the planning and construction of the required plant is started at the latest possible stage. In addition to ever faster time to market, increasing competitive pressure is forcing pharmaceutical manufacturers to be best-in-class. At the same time, it is imperative to work with maximum cost efficiency. During operation, several digital solutions provide support for daily tasks: digital/electronic qualification and validation, virtual & augmented reality for training & support, smart maintenance or monitoring and diagnosis applications are some examples. These solutions combine meta data (e.g: article numbers, location, spare part number, 3D model etc.) with real-time data and the effort to acquiring the meta data is significant. Most of these meta data is essential during the engineering phase and by integrated, digital engineering this data is made available in a smart way. We will present the benefits on two realized 100+ Mio project (Boehringer, Vienna, LOBA GmbH)
