At the just completed BioProcess International Conference in Boston, a number of sessions focused on the Bioprocess 4.0 trend toward continuous bioprocessing operations. Akshat Mullerpatan, PhD, ...

Companies choose manufacturing processes -- such as job order, batch process, assembly line and continuous process -- based in part on the level of product individualization allowed. Manufacturers use ...

Continuous manufacturing is finally gaining traction in the pharmaceutical industry, but development of the necessary production technologies is, fittingly, a continuous process. Ultimately, the drawn ...

Batch process scheduling and optimisation is a critical area of research that addresses the timing, sequencing, and allocation of production tasks in industries where manufacturing is carried out in ...

Research shows that digital transformation is the primary driver of automation technology spending across the discrete, batch, and continuous process industries. But which technologies get the most ...

At a recent meeting in Boston, representatives from global pharmaceutical companies gathered to discuss how to transition from batch to continuous manufacturing. And what company better to learn from ...

A photo of technicians working in front of a process train. Novartis's continuous manufacturing center in Basel, Switzerland, replicates an end-to-end manufacturing process developed at the ...

A handful of companies have done pioneering work with continuous manufacturing, the production process that is faster, cheaper and less prone to the kinds of manufacturing mess-ups that worry the FDA.

The biopharmaceutical industry has seen substantial growth in recent years, generating novel biotherapeutics and biosimilars at an unprecedented rate. One of the biggest challenges in the industry is ...

The biopharma industry is looking at continuous chromatography for sensitive molecules. Continuous processes continue to advance in bioprocessing. In downstream processing, continuous chromatography ...
