Single-use technologies have reshaped biopharma manufacturing facility design, capacity strategy, and flexibility over the past decade. The industry has expanded with a growing range of targeted therapies and emerging modalities, which has led to manufacturers adopting single-use systems to meet demand. The shift has enabled more flexible facilities, faster product changeovers, and manufacturing strategies better suited to scaling next-generation biologics.
In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Charlie Heise, associate director of Bioprocess Strategy and Development at Fujifilm Biotechnologies, about how single-use technologies have transformed facility design over the past decade and where things are headed. Heise discusses the industry's shift from process-specific plants to flexible manufacturing platforms, the growing role of single-use systems in continuous manufacturing and process intensification, and why standardization and digital integration are essential. He also explores how hybrid manufacturing models, regional production, and evolving therapeutic modalities will shape the next generation of biopharma manufacturing.
