Data analytics in pharmaceutical manufacturing

Use data analytics to get real-time insights into your plant and make data-backed decisions

Data analytics in a pharma company

One of the main challenges of the pharmaceutical industry is managing between specialty and affordable medicine. Drug manufacturing processes must be kept flexible and efficient, while the demand for short times-to-market and cost pressure are increasing. It is important to focus on innovation and continuous improvement in order to stay up-to-date. Pharma industry data should be used to shift from an exclusively quality-focused perspective towards productivity, reliability and innovation.

Data integrity from lab to manufacturing process

The importance of quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry is increasing. In order to mitigate the risk of misinterpretations and quality deficiencies, the same measurement technology should be used in the laboratory and in the manufacturing process of drugs.

Our expertise in the field

Scale-up and optimize processes easily with consistent technology from pilot plant to full production. Using consistent technology during scale-up helps you speed up the drug release process by delivering validated and reliable data in all scales. Our data-driven technology improves measuring reliability during laboratory trials and up-scaling with full consistency.

  • Memosens technology for liquid analysis is based on smart-digital sensors with integrated data chips. The digitalization of the raw data in the sensor head guarantees reliable data transfer, regardless of external factors.
  • The software Memobase Plus documents the complete lifetime of Memosens sensors. You can save and export measurement data and use identical sensors in the laboratory as in the process to achieve truly comparable measurements and a smooth scale up.

Data-based pH measurement optimization

pH measurement is the most commonly used analytical measurement in the process industry and bears a huge potential for optimization. It accompanies the active agent during all phases from development to industrial production and is used in several process steps. From laboratory to large scale manufacturing, consistent and reliable pH measurement is thus very important.

Our expertise in the field

All our pH probes are specifically designed and optimized to endure process conditions as well as sterilization cycles. With our pH technology data can be stored directly in the sensor head and be synchronized to a database. Using the same digital technology over all scales for the pH loops provides maximum reliability. Analyzing the data history will enable you to optimize your calibration activities and introduce sophisticated calibration concepts in the lab.

  • The digital pH sensor Memosens CPS61E was developed especially for bioreactors. It provides reliable values even after CIP/SIP and autoclaving. With Memosens digital technology the sensor provides maximum data integrity and enables lab calibration.
  • The Multichannel transmitter Liquiline CM44P is the first transmitter that combines process photometers and Memosens sensors. The transmitter saves time and money by offering seamless system integration.
