According to many analysts and business watchers, the pharmaceutical industry will take the lead in undertaking further investments in manufacturing automation and information systems in the near future. Many of them will have to, in order to turn the growing challenges they face into opportunities that set them aside from their competitors.
Challenges Pharmaceutical Manufacturers must Face
Firstly, there is an ever increasing legislative pressure forcing companies to keep records of everything in such a way that it can be reviewed at any time legislators see fit.

This development increases the need for a highly flexible and able manufacturing process combining agility with robustness and reliability, so that product development and manufacturing will be optimally aligned.
