• Discover on June 7 how to evaluate, implement, and validate a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to embrace digitalization and Pharma 4.0

On June 7, 2022, Lonza Bioscience Informatics will host a free 45-minute webinar, where a panel of industry experts will discuss the reality of MES implementation and provide valuable insights into how companies can successfully make the move from paper to a digitalized system. Webinar attendees will have the chance to ask questions and engage with the experts from across industry, all of whom have recently undergone the process.

To increase productivity and streamline the efficiency of modern manufacturing, implementing a MES is a clear choice. Although the benefits are numerous, there are hurdles to overcome, including how to get buy-in from leadership and users and how to approach validation. For those considering, or in the process of, implementing a MES, it may be tricky to navigate the various challenges and begin reaping the rewards of a digitalized system.

Lonza has extensive knowledge and experience in developing informatics solutions to support and empower manufacturers. By hosting this panel of speakers from a range of industries in a comprehensive discussion, Lonza hopes to help facilitate digital transformation and encourage organizations to drive productivity and reduce errors through the elimination of paper-based processes.

During the webinar “The reality of MES Implementation”, the panel will discuss a range of topics including:
