Artificial Intelligence and pharma manufacturing: The truth behind the hype

This webinar, part of our Analytics in 20 series, explores how artificial intelligence can hold the key to new transformations in pharmaceutical manufacturing – but it’s important to understand what’s feasible.

About the webinar

In a highly regulated, risk-averse industry like life sciences, digital transformation in manufacturing operations can be challenging.

In this webinar, Maria Araujo, Director of Advanced Technology, Supply Chain Strategy, Innovation and Development at Johnson & Johnson, joins us for a practical discussion about how pharmaceutical companies can learn from use cases and avoid pitfalls when implementing AI.

Get more insight on how to improve efficiency and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in manufacturing.

You will learn:

  • AI use cases around predictive maintenance, process control and process optimization in pharma manufacturing.
  • Avoiding revalidation.
  • Managing scale.
  • Ensuring explainability.
