It's quite surprising: One would expect the pharmaceutical industry to always be at the forefront! However, does the demand for reliability lead to a preference for steam engines over modern technology?
Advancements in hardware, transmission technology, and software offer not just innovative improvements at all levels of the automation pyramid, but could also be the solution to urgent challenges in manufacturing processes, product quality and staff deployment.
Yet, the question remains: Can these new technologies truly gain a foothold in the strict GMP environment? And more importantly, how long must we wait for their full acceptance? Is the process automation in the pharmaceutical industry at risk of missing the future?
In an industry known for its product safety and strict regulations, we face the challenge of integrating modern innovations. Join us in examining the tension between helpful but opaque AI, the potential of cutting-edge robotics and automation, and the demanding standards of the pharmaceutical industry.
