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.

This blog reports back on insights on the current state, challenges and solutions for planning and scheduling in pharma that Cade VanRooyen gleaned by attending the LogiPharma 2022 conference, April 5-7.

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.

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.

In this blog, we dive deeper into one of these digital accelerators: fully digital solutions for planning and scheduling.

Unnecessary downtime can be expensive for pharmaceutical manufacturing operations; unplanned stoppages can delay the delivery of much needed product, potentially causing damage to a company's reputation.

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

Pharmaceutical companies, CDMOs and CMOs continue to grapple with the tension between meeting the demand for increasingly diverse pharmaceutical products and the escalating challenges in ensuring supply, especially during periods of disruption.

In the pharmaceutical industry, equipment failures, changing operating conditions and other unexpected occurrences can cause batch failures, resulting in costly production losses and disruptions to supply. So how can companies maintain the security of supply while protecting profits?

AspenTech provides AI-enabled digital solutions that help customers optimize outcomes across the pharma value chain network using a holistic approach to digital transformation in an ever-changing world. Learn how our approach ensures the security of supply and pushes the boundaries and limits of what is possible for optimization, multiplying performance gains from digital transformation in this video.
