How to implement the Industry 4.0 program as a part of your automation strategy
What is the Factory of the Future? It is a vision of a holistic company-wide transformation, which balances and combines: productivity, quality, and robustness based on a data-centric perspective.
Is it possible to build the Pharma Factory of the Future today, increase quality and productivity, and decrease the cost at the same time?
Yes, and your automation strategy should become a user-driven program that combines:
• The equipment standardization program
• The right global, company-wide infrastructure
• The creation of a Global Data Model
The Factory of the Future can only be defined in terms of performance and KPIs. It needs a multi-disciplinary approach, where technology has to be a tool supporting and giving answers to business needs.
At the end of the day, it is not about technology, but Change Management. People and Culture are far more important than technology.
