Digitalization Scenarios for Biopharma Production

The Corona pandemic has shown it at the latest: the quick and flexible adaptation of existing production or the development of new process capacities can be essential. One solution is modular production. It is easily scalable and enables very quick product changes - and therefore a quick time-to-market. At the same time, it serves to develop drugs for smaller patient populations, where several products are manufactured one after the other in the same production environment (multi-product facilities). However, modular production is a challenge for automation - both horizontally (process direction) and vertically (information and control direction): Nevertheless, they function together like a well-tuned orchestra. The interaction of the individual modules and their communication is crucial for a quick, optimized and cost-reducing production conversion or setup. Siemens, together with the market leader for single-use components Sartorius, offers suitable automation and digitalization approaches.
