Embedding ExellenS™ Into Engineering Expertise To Deliver Standardized And Reliable Biomanufacturing Facilities

By Mihae Kang, Samsung Biologics

Modern biomanufacturing increasingly depends on standardized, continuously optimized facility designs that ensure efficiency, reliability, and scalability across sites. Rather than treating each plant as a standalone project, a structured feedback loop between operations and engineering enables real-world insights to drive design updates, equipment refinements, and improved process flows. These improvements are codified into evolving design standards that guide future construction, ensuring each new facility incorporates lessons learned and enhanced performance features. Centralized review systems streamline how modification requests are captured, evaluated, and implemented, supporting consistent quality, faster change execution, and strong cross-functional alignment. Reliability programs further reinforce this foundation by applying proactive maintenance, rigorous inspections, and global engineering standards to extend equipment life, reduce variability, and minimize unplanned downtime.

The result is a harmonized network of facilities with high design similarity, predictable operations, and seamless technology transfer capability. This standardization reduces time for validation, accelerates scale-up, and enables multi-site production with minimal requalification. A unified digital and operational framework ensures consistent process performance, strengthened regulatory readiness, and rapid capacity expansion. Ultimately, an integrated, continuously improving facility model provides clients with faster timelines, stable supply, and a robust technical foundation for long-term manufacturing success.
