Emerging technologies can make quality control (QC) faster and more efficient. What do pharma companies need to do to become QC leaders?
The emerging technologies that characterize Industry 4.0—from connectivity to advanced analytics, robotics and automation—have the potential to revolutionize every element of pharma-manufacturing labs within the next five to ten years. The first real-life use cases have delivered 30 to 40 percent increases in productivity within already mature and efficient lab environments, and a full range of improvements could lead to reductions of more than 50 percent in overall quality-control costs.
