Slow Adoption: Technology has failed to deliver

91% of AI projects failed to meet expectations 1

80 – 85% of manufacturing companies are “Proof of Concept Factories” 2

Key barriers and friction points:


• Current technology does not address the right user personas
• Technology limits rapid experimentation
• Legacy automation and existing workflows are not embraced
• No IT-OT stack to embrace edge and cloud in common workflow

Life Sciences Use cases
Process Development, tech transfer and scale-up (Speed, agility and time-to-market improvement)
• Digital capture of product & process understanding from Phase IV to process development
• Reduce the number of consistency batch runs for process development with modelling
• Reduce the number of robustness and compliance batch runs for PQ & commercialization with transfer learning
• Digital tech transfer to CMO or internal manufacturing scale-up – reduce time to compliant manufacturing

Production optimization (Increase return on assets, reduce cost of production)


• Achieve optimized state faster after initial commercial manufacture using base models from PQ runs
• Reduce cycle time between unit operations by converting offline assays to soft sensors
• Turn batch manufacturing into contiguous manufacturing and RTR with soft sensor based ILM of unit CQAs & CPAs – increase utilization of
high demand production assets
• Remove performance variability in identical processes - transfer optimization effort and knowledge from one high performance unit
operation to other identical poor performance unit operation
• Yield increase with consistency, beyond SPC – operate in tighter set point limits (within PARs) with AI augmented recipe orchestration

PQ: Process Qualification; RTR: Real-time Release, ILM: Inline monitoring; CQA: Critical Quality Attributes; CPA: Critical Process Attributes

Sterilization Autoclave – Vaccine Production
Fortune 100 Global Vaccine Pharmaceutical Company

Customer Challenges
▪ Repeat and frequent failure of critical components leads to unacceptable level of unplanned downtime and production loss.
▪ Multiple recipe (product) types on same asset made baselining of condition impossible with logic based system
▪ Identified as a high-risk equipment in the vaccine production process.
▪ Autoclaves are a bottleneck of the manufacturing process, everything in and out of the sterile production area must flow thro ugh an autoclave.
▪ High use for six days a week, with a planned downtime every seventh day for maintenance, leaving limited time for troubleshoo ting and failure avoidance.
Scope
• Define all potential and current failure modes of the entire system.
• Identify what failure modes can be identified early using existing data and what additional sensors were
required.
• Develop AI models to learn baseline operations and identify abnormal conditions on critical components.
• Deploy real-time monitoring and alerting system to identify, notify and avoid failure conditions.

Results
▪ Reduced Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) from seven days to ninety days.
▪ Eliminated time-based replacement of critical components.
▪ Reduced spares inventory
▪ Increase equipment availability
