The world is going digital - this applies to our private lives as well as to large parts of our work. In the process industries, the focus is often on end-to-end digital engineering, the analysis of big data, or the utilization of legacy data. But in what way can digitalization change daily work routines and increase work efficiency? A practical example is provided by the specialty chemicals company Lanxess, which has abandoned the classic clipboard, thus demonstrating very clearly what digitalization actually means and what benefits it offers.

“Size changeover” is not necessarily a term that immediately makes people stop and pay attention in the pharmaceutical industry. However, considering the challenges in pharmaceutical manufacturing, which are characterized by cost and competitive pressure as well as strict regulations, intelligent size changeover means competitive advantages in terms of efficiency, product quality and process reliability.
Autumn is the right time for the annual flu vaccination – at least in the northern hemisphere. South of the Equator, populations are vaccinated in the spring. Twice a year, pharmaceutical manufacturers need to produce millions of vaccine doses in a short time to meet demand for the protective drugs. An internationally active supplier relies on Schubert-Pharma to package its syringes containing the vaccine.
