Digitization in Manufacturing
Get the numbers on life sciences manufacturing software
MasterControl recently conducted a study on digitization in manufacturing. Specifically, we looked at how widespread electronic batch records and other manufacturing software are in the life sciences.
Digital manufacturing isn’t as common as you’d think in an industry that’s otherwise so innovative. Still, most life sciences companies are ramping up their digital initiatives.

Benefits of Manufacturing Software
Manufacturing software provides electronic batch records, giving you the benefits of automation and connectivity to other areas of the business.
-
No data entry errors.
A common problem in any manual system is reading handwriting and entering data into other systems. Both of these factors present opportunities for human error. Digital manufacturing eliminates these errors.
-
Review by exception.
In your organization, how long does it take for someone to review the batch record and then release the batch? There may be thousands of entries to look through. Manufacturing software lets you review by exception and approve a batch in minutes.
-
Ensure training.
One problem in manufacturing is ensuring everyone carrying out a task has completed the proper training. If they haven’t, your entire batch might need to be scrapped. Digital manufacturing can ensure only trained operators complete a step or they physically can’t fill out the electronic batch record.
-
Flexible and configurable.
With a modern manufacturing execution system, you can digitize every line. The configurability makes the system ideal for digital manufacturing because making a change to a line is much simpler and doesn’t require custom code.
-
Easily access production data.
When data is trapped on paper, there’s no easy way to collect and analyze it. Digitization in manufacturing changes that. A digital system keeps your data in a centralized location where it can easily be pulled so you can analyze it and prepare reports.
