Körber and HighByte Partner to Accelerate the Digital Transformation of Manufacturing in Life Sciences

Author photo: Janice Abel In March 2025, Körber certified HighByte Intelligence Hub for integration with PAS-X MES under the Körber Ecosystem Partner Program, granting it the PAS-X MSI Plug & Produce certification. This collaboration supports life sciences manufacturers in accelerating digital transformation by enhancing data visibility, operational agility, and manufacturing efficiency. The Life Sciences industry is advancing toward the digital factory of the future, where seamless system, equipment, and device interoperability is crucial. A key aspect of this transformation is the integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems, enabling real-time data flow across the manufacturing ecosystem. Through this partnership, HighByte Intelligence Hub and PAS-X MES now natively connect using the PAS-X MSI Plug & Produce interface, a pre-validated, out-of-the-box standard. This seamless integration eliminates complex custom coding, reduces deployment timelines, and ensures reliable data exchange between systems, setting the foundation for advanced analytics, process optimization, and enhanced regulatory compliance. “ Life science manufacturers face unique regulatory and digital challenges—from lack of data standardization to siloed laboratory, maintenance, and supply chain data. These constraints create an agility paradox. While processes need to be closely controlled, analytics requires a real-time, iterative approach ,” says John Harrington , Chief […]

Why Peacekeeping needs digital transformation

Why Peacekeeping needs digital transformation

UNMISS engineers help monitor flood levels in South Sudan. Flooding causes massive disruptions and health risks to local populations and can also drive conflict. Monitoring impacts and tracking that data through a dashboard gives the mission early warning of floods and the displacement of populations that result. This is letting UNMISS develop targeted responses to prevent conflict before it starts. Photo: UNMISS / Gregório Cunha. This story was written by Mark McCarthy (right) and Parham Kouloubandi (left), from UN Peacekeeping’s Digital Enablement Team. Mr. McCarthy is a Senior Data Officer with working on the digital transformation of peacekeeping. Mr. Kouloubandi is an Associate Expert, with experience promoting digital innovation through data and artificial intelligence. Peacekeeping missions operate in diverse environments with varying mandates, making every mission distinct, but all share a need for data. It gives peacekeepers critical insights about their operating environments and the impact their work is having, letting them more safely and effectively advance peace and security goals for the communities they serve. However, collecting and leveraging reliable data requires managing and analysing a flood of information. When missions do not have the capacity to do this, data remains unused and opportunities to inform and strengthen […]

RBI Wins Digital Transformation Award 2025 for Innovative Digital Initiatives

RBI Wins Digital Transformation Award 2025 for Innovative Digital Initiatives

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been honored with the Digital Transformation Award 2025 by Central Banking, London , in recognition of its groundbreaking digital initiatives, Pravaah and Sarthi. Both platforms were developed by RBI’s in-house tech team, reflecting the bank’s commitment to innovation and operational efficiency. Launched in January 2023, Sarthi digitised RBI’s internal workflows, enabling secure document storage, enhanced record management, and advanced data analysis through custom dashboards and reports. This shift significantly reduced paper-based submissions and streamlined internal processes across departments. In May 2024, RBI introduced Pravaah, a digital portal allowing external users to submit regulatory applications online. The system seamlessly interlocks with the Sarthi database, allowing applications to be processed digitally at RBI offices with centralised cybersecurity and real-time monitoring. Pravaah has digitised more than 70 categories of regulatory applications since its introduction, receiving over 2,000 submissions by the end of 2024 an 80% boost in monthly applications, courtesy of the platform’s simplicity. The success of these initiatives was bolstered by the IT team’s collaborative approach. They worked closely with staff to understand their needs and appointed senior nodal officers to guide departments through the transition. This hands-on support ensured smooth adoption and optimised […]
