The Pandemic Effect: Making Continuous Manufacturing a Reality
For big pharmaceutical companies, challenges ahead are unprecedented. Add the increasing demand for low-cost vaccines and other pandemic-related treatments to the impact of aging populations on pharmaceutical needs and you’ll get a clear picture of the critical moment faced by global health. In this context, continuous manufacturing appears as a salutary movement. It implies products are produced nonstop in a single, uninterrupted process unlike the usual stop-and-start batch process. A promising gateway to significant improvements in quality and consistency across the overall supply chain. Discover more.
Digital Simulation Is Key to Europe’s Tech Sovereignty
Today’s global semiconductor chip shortage is no secret. One could blame the pandemic alone, but the truth is many other factors contributed collectively to this disruption. The latest drop in production and increase in demand have highlighted how dependent global manufacturers have become on these tiny chips. What now? Europe’s Digital Sovereignty lies in the balance… but there still remains a window of opportunity to head toward Europe’s self-sufficiency. This is called “digital simulation”. By assisting with design, testing and digital prototyping, and by assessing aspects such as reliability, performance, electromagnetic compatibility, power consumption and thermal stress, this anticipation technology might do wonders.

Automation Serving Humanitarian Aid
And what if we positioned more systematically the human being at the centre of technological development efforts? Not just think in terms of “automation” but rather in terms of “automation for the people”? As it appears, implementing advanced manufacturing technology is most closely associated with the standard industry players’ practices. However, for non-profit organizations, increased flexibility, financial sustainability, process control and technological issues also enter the equation. Edesia Nutrition provides us with evidence that innovations help lower the cost of humanitarian efforts without even impairing recruitment. Learn more.
Cybersecurity: What is a Bug Bounty?
