How do we assess the financial benefits and ROI of digitizing production?

The 2024 State of the Digital Decade report by the European Commission highlights concerns regarding the EU’s digital transformation efforts as the EU has yet to achieve full convergence on most targets and objectives. Thus, it calls for urgent actions to accelerate progress, especially for the areas with ample unexploited potential, like manufacturing. However, research also shows that managers in …

Key Functionalities of MES Systems for Boosting Efficiency in Pharmaceutical Production

Significant improvements in efficiency within the pharmaceutical industry are difficult to imagine without a modern Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This system acts as a crucial link between business and production processes, ensuring that the correct quantity of high-quality products is produced in the right way, and then delivered to patients. MES systems have rapidly evolved in recent years, incorporating advanced …

Do you have a lot of production data but little useful information to improve production efficiency?

A fundamental prerequisite for increasing production efficiency, reducing costs and improving product quality is information that enables manufacturing companies to better understand their processes, make quicker decisions and improve management. However, in practice, it is often observed that many industrial companies, despite having a wealth of production data, have little useful information for optimizing production processes. What are the key …

Benefit from the digitized management of production recipes

Manufacturing recipes are used in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and other industries. They provide essential information about ingredients, processes and machine parameters to ensure product quality and safety. However, many facilities continue to use traditional recipe management methods, exposing them to risks such as errors, non-compliance and unnecessary expenses. Yet, with the right technological support, recipe management …
