ADDoPT Digital Design Showcase

The ADDoPT project partners invite you to join us for our final showcase event, presenting and demonstrating the range of industry-ready new models, tools and approaches for digital design and operation of drug manufacturing processes and product performance arising from this major UK supply-chain collaboration involving AZ, BMS, GSK, Pfizer and various technology and research partners.

Aligned with and preceding the Made Smarter report, the ADDoPT partners have over the last four years been working across the pharmaceutical value chain to define and populate an Industry 4.0 framework for top-down, knowledge-driven digital design of drug products as well as digital design and operation of their manufacturing processes (smart manufacturing), and to identify and develop appropriate modelling approaches to support this.

Bringing together a wide range of mechanistic, statistical and hybrid predictive models and insight from industrial case studies applying them at four major pharmaceutical companies, this FREE event will exemplify business benefits including:

  • better and much earlier understanding of development risks
  • better decision making and resource prioritisation
  • more targeted and efficient experimentation
  • accelerated product development
  • better design and scale-up for robust products and processes.

Co-located with, and on the day following, the 2019 Advanced Process Modelling Forum, the ADDoPT Digital Design Showcase presents a unique opportunity to hear about and see

  • working demonstrations of new tools bringing together best in class predictive science and data analytic approaches to create digital twins of manufacturing processes and products
  • how these are being used in systems-based approaches linking molecular and material properties with process and product performance
  • the transformational opportunities of Industrial Digitalization for the pharmaceutical value chain (including CROs and CMOs) and for anyone involved in the formulation-based process industries.
