The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is evolving from the data-driven, automated landscape of Industry 4.0 towards the more human-centric, sustainable, and collaborative Industry 5.0 paradigm. This presentation highlights the Digital & Advanced Automation (DAA) journey as a critical enabler of this transition. By integrating cutting-edge technologies with human expertise, pharma manufacturing can achieve enhanced process agility, improved product quality, and sustainable operations. The session will cover strategic approaches to evolve automation systems, embed intelligent decision-making, and align with patient-centric manufacturing goals. In this session, attendees will learn how to:

• Navigate the transition from Industry 4.0 automation to Industry 5.0 human-centered manufacturing models.
• Leverage Digital & Advanced Automation technologies to enhance operational flexibility and decision-making.
• Align automation strategies with sustainability and patient-centric manufacturing imperatives.
• Implement scalable DAA solutions that drive quality, compliance, and innovation.
