This session will discuss BioPhorum’s Digital Plant Maturity Model and how companies can go from the pre-digital plant to the Adaptive Plant. Operational integrity, flexible manufacturing, real-time release, and pipeline acceleration will be discussed to get a better understanding of the problems and the solutions/benefits for these key transformation areas.

Recent control automation updates and a roadmap relevant to Life Sciences will be the focus of this presentation. This session will cover interesting and new topics like Module Type Packages, Hyperconverged Infrastructure (Virtualization), Mixed OS, and Data Integrity Enhancements.

This session will discuss the reality of failures and the business challenges associated with them. See how edge analytics and wireless monitoring can allow us to stay on top of the P-F curve – enabling the “Do it right the first time”, fewer callouts, and optimal time for feedback/improvement.

The journey to the Adaptive Plant can be facilitated by Emerson’s ecosystem of Life Sciences solutions. This presentation includes important technologies to consider, such as 1-click tech transfer and digital twin, when going to the aspirational digital maturity level.

Learn how the combined PAT solutions of Emerson and AspenTech seamlessly work together to enable closed-loop control for Critical Quality Attributes. From offline chemometric model generation via the Unscrambler, to bringing spectral array signals directly into DeltaV, and real-time PAT management through Process Pulse, this integrated approach ensures quality prediction, fault detection, and optimization.

Free flow session where participants can visit the different demo stations and converse with SMEs to see the solutions in action and clarify any questions.​
