Industry 4.0 for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing; Smart Factories for Future

Abstract

The use of cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics in manufacturing processes is referred to as industry 4.0, also referred to as the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 has the potential to completely transform medication research, production, and supply chain activities in the pharmaceutical sector, resulting in more productivity, reduced prices, and better quality. Real-time monitoring of manufacturing processes and supply chain operations is made possible by the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. This can help identify potential problems and enhance decision-making. IoT devices can be used to monitor and improve equipment performance and anticipate maintenance requirements, resulting in less downtime and more productivity. Large data sets can be examined by advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms to spot patterns and abnormalities. Advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms can also scan huge data sets to find trends and abnormalities, making it possible to discover quality problems more quickly and to comply with regulations. Faster medication development, more effective manufacturing techniques, and ultimately improved patient outcomes can result from this.
