When Ferring Pharmaceuticals wanted to move from batch to continuous manufacturing, they found that laboratory assays were too time consuming to provide meaningful feedback for real-time control, and 100% product quality inspection was not possible.

GSK wanted to review the structure of its batch production record and associated workflows as part of a continuous improvement process. AspenTech was selected for this process due to integration with other solutions, such as Aspen InfoPlus.21® and GSK’s existing plant automation software (DCS). The pilot project was a resounding success, reducing order preparation time by 95% and record review time by over 50%. Read this case study to learn more.

Ferring Pharmaceuticals, a multinational biopharmaceutical company, needed a solution that would enable faster commercialization, more cost-efficient production and reduced supply lead time while maintaining product quality in support of digitalization initiatives. The company used AspenTech’s Advanced Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solution—which includes Aspen Unscrambler™ and Aspen Process Pulse™—to address this challenge.

A 140-year-old global pharmaceutical company with headquarters in Japan adopted Aspen Plus to improve the synthesis of a new active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Aspen Plus provided an in-depth understanding of a new API process leading to equipment improvements and optimized recipes that enabled development of a continuous process.

The pandemic heightened the need for agility and resiliency within the supply chain. Speed to market remains a top business imperative as we move into the next normal for pharma.

There is great opportunity to leverage digital technologies that improve product quality and yield, process efficiency, on-time delivery and sustainability in pharma manufacturing.

We are excited to announce that the AspenTech PAT portfolio has been honored with a Pharma Manufacturing 2021 Pharma Innovation Award celebrating technologies that make advances in risk reduction. Read today’s blog to learn more.
