Life Sciences industry is becoming data driven, this journey started more than 15 years ago with an FDA Guidance for Process Analytical Technology (PAT) which then have been followed by numerous guidance. The 4.0 hype is present in Life Sciences both with Industry 4.0 and also we see the initiative by ISPE regarding Pharma 4.0TM Operating Model which define several essentials for digitalization.
1. Plug & Produce – ability to access, contextualize and consume data and information
2. Process Maps – contextualization to make meaning to data using e.g. industry standards like ISA 88/95
3. CPV for continued process verification as a tool to use every batch as a validation batch However, the most important part, which is high up on most pharma companies according to three recent surveys OSIsoft did is Data Integrity. Data Integrity is about data trustworthiness, data access, data interpretation and data quality. To make any impact of Industry 4.0 and Pharma 4.0 it is important to consider for example the Goals and Priorities, the People, the Execution, the culture as well as the technology.
