Overview
LifeSciences is among the fastest-growing industries with a focus on investments in technological health solutions. The sector is adopting technology to enhance patient care, lower costs, boost transparency, produce more, and discover novel treatments.
It’s important for stakeholders to understand that the industry is undergoing a transformation because of the digital era and that this involves more than just expediting the current process in a digital pipeline. Adopting business processes that weren’t previously possible involves more than merely using software to carry out routine tasks. The goal of digital transformation is to create innovative plans for fundamentally changing current business procedures in a way that benefits organizations.
Supply chains, data integrity, and drug waste are all experiencing upheaval in the market. As a result, faster R&D cycle times and higher process efficiency are needed. Rockwell Automation, in partnership with BlueTech Media, is organizing a conference where industry experts will debate and expound on building competencies to enhance the dynamics of the sector.
The focus will be on ways that can make the LifeSciences industry more “Aatmanirbhar” (self-reliant), considering smarter manufacturing techniques for the industry, the necessity of cybersecurity, developing all-encompassing strategies for data safety, big data, and artificial intelligence in drug development and production, digital and diagnostic analytics, business procedures, and automation.
