IIoT and AI for Digitalizing Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Operations: From Hype to Reality

Driven by increased connectivity enabled by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and more sophisticated data gathering and analytics/AI capabilities, manufacturing is ushering in a new era of production, where information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) are converging to form so-called cyber-physical systems.

IIoT and analytics are key complementary driving forces behind digitalization, enabling a securely connected plant and a streamlined flow of data and information between physical production and digital worlds, as well as prescription of data-driven actions pervasively across manufacturing and quality operations.

Use case examples will be given to demonstrate how IIoT and analytics are implemented in practice to drive continual improvement in manufacturing visibility, quality and productivity.
