Enhancing Pharma Manufacturing Efficiencies
Ferring Pharmaceuticals, a prominent biopharmaceutical company, sought ways to expedite commercialization, optimize production costs, and reduce supply lead times while upholding product quality in line with their digitalization objectives. To address these challenges, Ferring Pharmaceuticals implemented AspenTech's Advanced Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solution, leveraging Aspen Unscrambler™ and Aspen Process Pulse™.
Ensuring Product Quality with PAT-enabled closed-loop control
By harnessing the power of PAT-enabled closed-loop control, Ferring Pharmaceuticals guarantees on-spec product quality in their continuous manufacturing processes. This approach minimizes variability and ensures consistent quality output, bolstering Ferring's reputation for delivering high-quality pharmaceutical products.
Reducing Footprint and Costs with Continuous Manufacturing
A significant advantage of continuous manufacturing over batch processes is the smaller footprint it requires, leading to substantial savings in expensive clean room space. This streamlined production method not only reduces operational costs but also enhances overall efficiency by eliminating the need for extensive equipment scaleup, thereby optimizing production agility.
Real-time Release Testing for Improved Efficiency
The integration of real-time release testing within Ferring Pharmaceuticals' manufacturing processes has revolutionized quality control measures. By conducting tests in real-time rather than relying on offline laboratory testing, Ferring reduces delays and costs associated with traditional testing methods, facilitating faster product release and time-to-market.
Driving Innovation and Adaptability in Pharma Manufacturing
Through the adoption of AspenTech Pharma Suite, Ferring Pharmaceuticals exemplifies a commitment to innovation and adaptability in pharmaceutical manufacturing. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies like PAT and closed-loop control, Ferring not only enhances production efficiencies but also paves the way for future advancements in the industry.
