Simplifying Recipe Creation In The Life Sciences

Manufacturing execution systems (MES) have long played a critical role in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, serving as the backbone for coordinating manufacturing operations across enterprise systems, plant control platforms, and analytical tools. These systems ensure that complex processes run smoothly, efficiently, and in compliance with stringent regulatory standards. However, as the industry evolves to meet the growing demand for personalized medicines and advanced therapies, traditional MES solutions are being pushed to their limits. Manufacturers now require more agile, user-friendly tools that simplify recipe creation and streamline workflow management. The shift toward smaller batch sizes and more flexible production models calls for innovative digital solutions that can adapt quickly to changing needs.

In this Emerson Automation Experts podcast, Melissa Lee and Kebra Tynan join the conversation to explore how Emerson is addressing these emerging challenges. They discuss the company’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) based workflow management solution, designed specifically to support the dynamic requirements of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing. This cloud-native approach offers a lighter, more scalable alternative to traditional MES, enabling faster deployment, easier updates, and improved collaboration across teams.
