Session

Advancing Shop Floor Digital Integration — Maximizing Value from MES and Beyond

Keynote

Monday, March 23

08:35 am - 09:00 am

Live in Everett

Less Details

The digital transformation of the pharmaceutical shop floor is no longer just about implementing systems — it’s about extracting measurable value, driving operational agility, and putting operators at the heart of the process. Building on our previous journey toward standardized MES implementation, this session explores how advancing shop floor integration — from MES to manufacturing data hubs — can reduce reviewable items, streamline sterile supply, and enable smarter, more connected operations. We will share lessons learned from both mature and legacy sites, highlighting how strong partnerships, leadership sponsorship, and future-oriented planning unlock new wins for the shop floor. The focus will be on achieving real business outcomes while mapping a digital roadmap that scales. In this session you will learn how to:

  • Translate manufacturing system deployment into measurable operational impact across sites.
  • Navigate the hidden bottlenecks in validation, integration, and change management.
  • Reframe infrastructure and data strategy as drivers of long-term digital maturity.
