As biopharmaceutical manufacturers work to accelerate facility timelines while managing complex production environments, greater integration between automation, manufacturing systems and other digital technologies is becoming essential. Moving to more connected manufacturing is also driving companies to rethink how different capabilities are brought together, including a growing focus on integrating project delivery, automation, IT and manufacturing operations.
This episode of Off Script explores that push toward greater integration via biomanufacturing consultancy firm Project Farma’s recent acquisition of SimoTech, a company specializing in manufacturing automation and GMP IT services for the life sciences industry. We spoke with Rich Tree, president of Project Farma, and Pat Desmond, CEO of SimoTech, about what the deal says about the industry’s broader move toward digital integration. They also more broadly discussed barriers to digital transformation, the role of standardization in accelerating projects and supporting flexible manufacturing, and how manufacturers can better connect technology investments with broader manufacturing strategies.
