2021 PDA Robotics and Automation Conference

Live Session Introduction:
How Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning and Automation can Improve the Pharma Industry

With digitalization everywhere, robotics cannot anymore be excluded in manufacturing halls, artificial intelligence, in particular. Our world is changing, and Pharma is actually on the verge of a significant transition. But what is the right strategy to get started and move on? Which is the appropriate area to tackle first? How to overcome shortcomings in the most sensible ways? This first session of this exciting online conference spans from digitalization to robotics and Artificial Intelligence to the perspective on completely new business models. This event to be experienced as the seed to activate your next steps. Please feel free to bring in your thoughts and experiences. We will be pleased to share our wide ranges of knowledge.

Moderators:

Martin Dueblin, One One Eleven
Toni Manzano, Aizon

Live Session Introduction:
Quality and Compliance

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be and already are integrated in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. As everything within this highly regulated industry, robotics and AI implementation also need to fulfill highest quality expectations and compliance standards. For instance, data integrity, just to mention one. Follow two exciting case studies, illustrating GMP requirements and the related implementation strategies. Join us for a live Q&A to discuss your questions online with experts in this field. 

Moderators:

Dieter Bachmann, Janssen J&J
Markus Rothen, Rychiger

Live Session Introduction: 
Optimizing Facility Design with Automation and Digital Solutions

How can we leverage the latest digital technologies to get facilities producing drug product faster and more safely? How can we better and more fully automate fill & finish suites? Please join our session for some forward-looking perspectives on these topics and more as we strive to better understand these advances and how far they might take our industry.

Interactive Experience: Working Groups on Automation of Environmental Monitoring & Improving Maintenance

Robots are everywhere. The pharmaceutical industry is integrating more and more innovative technologies with great success. Within this session, we do have the chance to listen to a great collaboration work between the industry and universities in Ireland on the integration of a robot within quality processes and to a very interesting innovation presentation on how robots can improve maintenance.
Within this session, we will split in 2 workshop groups after the presentations to dive deeper into the presented themes.

Moderators:

Christine Eckardt, PM Group
Dieter Bachmann, Janssen J&J

Live Summary of Working Groups by the Moderators

Live Session Introduction:
Automation in Cell and Tissue Engineering

During this session we have listened amazing use cases, disruptive trends, and initiatives on automating complex processes to have robust operations and introducing robotics in repetitive phases to ensure better products. What about if we think in applying robotics and automation in human organs and tissues? What if we consider digital twins of pieces in the human body? This orientation would sound futuristic, but it is a reality nowadays and we are going to see amazing breakthroughs in this context.
