In the pharmaceutical industry, new modalities such as mRNA vaccines and an increasing number of biosimilars in biologics, help make critical therapies available to more patients in need, but they also put pressure on manufacturers to deliver these therapies safely and cost-effectively. While there is not a single solution to increasing operational efficiency and minimizing costs of non-quality, automating the quality control testing process can help to:
- Reduce costly errors
- Provide reliable, actionable, and traceable data
- Deliver rapid results
- Increase throughput to reduce bottlenecks
By leveraging automation, digitalization, and decentralized testing, automated technologies for in-process and release testing improve operational efficiency while reducing production costs through lower non-quality costs and optimized working capital.
