The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry stands at the cusp of a digital revolution. With the advent of groundbreaking therapies and the shift between outsourcing and insourcing manufacturing, the need for a robust, adaptable data platform has never been more critical. Enter Connect™ CPV — the platform designed to navigate the complex landscape of Pharma manufacturing by tackling its main challenges head-on.

Adapting to the Ever-changing Business Model

The Pharma industry’s dynamic nature demands flexibility in how manufacturing data is managed, whether it’s sourced in-house or from a Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO). Connect™ CPV’s Genealogy module offers unparalleled adaptability, ensuring seamless access to data across diverse manufacturing models. This flexibility is crucial as the industry evolves, embracing innovative treatments like mRNA, cell and gene therapies, and CRISPR-based therapies.

Tackling System Complexity

Pharma manufacturing generates vast amounts of data across the ISA 95 system layers, from IoT and PAT data to ERP systems. This diversity presents a significant integration challenge. Connect™  CPV rises to the occasion with easy connectors for any system, ensuring that data integration and architecture can handle variations in system sets, simplifying what has traditionally been a complex undertaking.

Ensuring Data Integration & Quality

Integrating and standardizing data is a monumental task that requires a sophisticated approach. Connect™ CPV leverages native AI algorithms to contextualize data at the unit operation and batch level efficiently. The platform’s “Views” module further standardizes and governs data from different sources, setting a new standard for data quality in Pharma manufacturing.

Upholding Compliance and Security

In an industry where compliance and security are non-negotiable, Connect™ CPV ensures peace of mind. The platform’s commitment to CFR Part 11 compliance and its robust security measures across application, storage, and computation layers mean that manufacturers can focus on innovation without compromising on compliance.

Facilitating Change Management

The introduction of new technologies often meets resistance due to longstanding practices. Connect™ CPV addresses this through comprehensive online training, communication, and workshops, ensuring smooth transition and user adoption. This focus on change management is vital for harnessing the full potential of digital platforms.

Scalability and Future-Proofing

Unlike traditional systems that rely on rigid data models, Connect™ CPV’s flexibility allows it to adapt to any manufacturing process without software redesigns. This scalability and future-proofing are critical as Pharma manufacturing continues to evolve, ensuring that the platform remains relevant and effective.

Integrating with Existing Processes

Integration with existing business processes is seamless with Connect™ CPV’s Data As a Service (DAAS). This flexibility allows for easy access to valuable, contextualized manufacturing data, driving multiple business outcomes and fostering innovation.
