Fueled by a need to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, continuous processing may be the next paradigm shift in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Although common in other process manufacturing ...

Most facilities that fail in lean implementations have weak quality systems. More specifically, they have failed to create stable process flow. If you have some or even one of these issues, you will ...

Although continuous flow chemistry—wherein molecules are made in a continuous process rather than in batches—has gained ground in academic labs, its adoption by industry and contract manufacturing ...

In-silico design facilitates process optimization and evaluation of process control strategies. The pharmaceutical industry has recognized the value of implementing a systematic approach to drug ...

The antibiotic cefazolin is an essential drug according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It is usually produced via batch manufacturing, but this multistep process is time-consuming, wasteful ...

Successful manufacturing is inextricably linked to process control. If processes are not controlled, the eventual output may not fall within the required parameters. Using baking as an example, when ...

Whether the discussion is around the Industrial Internet of Things, Big Data or Digital Manufacturing, all of these topics have a place in the Industry 4.0 initiative that is being supported by the ...
