Digital transformation is rapidly evolving throughout the medical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. In the medical device manufacturing segment, digital and smart manufacturing are essential to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and exceed customer needs and expectations. Yet, many manufacturing processes are still performed manually. Reliance on outdated systems and processes negatively impacts corporate resources of time, money, and personnel. To eliminate this problem, systems, procedures, and processes need to continue to evolve, and advancements in automation can help accomplish these goals.
There are many benefits to medical device manufacturers that embrace digitalization and smart manufacturing. Not only does this transformation streamline work, which reduces errors and saves time and money on repetitive or mundane tasks, it also expedites the expansion of a company’s product portfolio and satisfies regulatory requirements. In the medtech industry, technical documentation is interconnected, so if paper content is revised, multiple documents must be updated to maintain accuracy. Converting these systems to digital makes updates and maintenance faster and simpler.
