Achieving Pharma 4.0 with Next Generation Software-Defined Manufacturing and OEE Insights

Many Life sciences manufacturers have positioned Pharma 4.0 on the manufacturing floor as a critical strategic initiative, however the existence of legacy systems and fragmented data silos poses a huge challenge. By decoupling control logic from hardware, software-defined manufacturing powered by Honeywell Aptica delivers the flexibility and scalability to adapt rapidly to changing business and regulatory needs. Combined with TrackWise Manufacturing OEE, this approach enables real-time visibility into production performance and predictive insights that can drive up to a 20–25% improvement in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Together, Aptica and OEE empower manufacturers to accelerate batch release cycles, reduce downtime, and achieve consistent, compliant, and profitable operations.
