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 […]
