To rapidly scale their manufacturing, our clients need the ability to investigate issues and model the effects of process changes. Foundry integrates data and logic from every stage & every team, from input materials to reactor conditions, and creates a digital twin of the entire development and manufacturing process. This foundation opens the door to virtual experimentation — our clients can use scenario analyses to plan vendor changes, optimize bioreactor yield, and compare quality metrics through time. The net result is a dramatic increase in process development velocity to achieve more consistent yields and efficient ramp-up of new therapies.

Shipping faces a critical challenge. The energy transition is well underway and ocean going zero carbon ships must be in service by 2030. The industry is currently focussed on delivering zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by fuelling with renewably sourced ammonia, hydrogen or methanol. But solutions for widespread deployment are not ready yet and ships built today have expected lifetimes of 20-30 years. So, the industry now thinks in terms of ‘readiness’, the ability to ensure that a vessel can use zero carbon fuel once this becomes feasible, either by building new vessels that have this capability from the day they are built, or by ensuring existing vessels can be easily converted.

Highly automated international and global collaboration of industrial production environments is a key feature of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and Society 5.0/Connected Industries. In various countries, production facilities will be able to collaborate with each other in nearly real time regardless of their geographical location. Therefore, availability of a comprehensive trustworthy ecosystem is an indispensable prerequisite.

Life sciences supply chain challenges include demand and supply uncertainty. Market complexity and regulatory restrictions. Mergers and acquisitions. Pricing pressures. And the need for new life sciences supply chain capabilities driven by mass customization and faster new product introductions. Having the right products at the right place at the right time can literally mean the difference between life and death.

The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 was the most significant disruption ever encountered by the aerospace industry. Nations locked down, flights were cancelled and aircraft were parked and stored. The exceptional scope and speed of the pandemic affected each industry segment: airline, MRO, OEM, vendor and lessor.

Not only are we in state of constant disruption, but disruptions are here to stay. The cause of disruption may change; yesterday it may have been global health, today it may be political unrest, while tomorrow it may be trade related. Issues like inflation, material shortages, high performance pressures from customers, and capacity constraints will never be challenges businesses can overcome on their own – at least not complex or global businesses. It is an ecosystem problem, as issues can originate beyond the scope of one’s own internal network of factories, warehouses, and distribution centers.
