Fast-track solutions for primary processing
Win the race in your active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) production with scalable solutions for optimum efficiency and productivity.
Manufacturing APIs requires complex processes that must comply with stringent system and product quality requirements, vital safety considerations, and a demanding regulatory environment. At the same time, there is an ever-growing pressure to improve production efficiency and throughput times. The key to shorter time to market, higher yield and greater flexibility lies in smarter, more flexible processes that integrate quality control, documentation and process control - both for batch and for continuous processing. With our advanced digital solutions, you can reap the benefits of improved process transparency and understanding to achieve right-first-time production in your primary processes.
Active ingredients for API production
From large-scale chemical APIs for large-volume, over-the-counter drugs to personalized drugs for targeted therapies, from single use equipment to continuous manufacturing, and from biological to chemical processes, primary processing is as complex as it is diverse. With advanced digital solutions, you can handle this complexity safely and efficiently, in full compliance with current and even future guidelines, and with complete process and quality transparency to help you optimize your production strategies and process performance.
Get active on production challenges
The production of APIs involves a variety of process steps that must be optimally coordinated. The systems must be flexible, but cross-contamination of the different APIs must be prevented at the same time. In addition, the effective utilization of production systems that are distributed around the world is becoming increasingly important. Process optimization is the key to meeting these challenges effectively. The integration of the entire process, from the raw materials through the respective production steps to the finished product, makes it possible to reduce costs and processing times; improve employee safety, including in explosion-hazardous areas; and prevent contamination of the active ingredients produced. Currently dominated by batch processes, the pharmaceutical industry is currently shifting to new processing options for both chemical and bio APIs, such as modular plants, single-use equipment or continuous manufacturing. With our proven digital solutions, you can make sure your production stays ahead of the race in primary processing - by networking process and quality data with business and laboratory systems.
