Achieving Pharma 4.0 With Next Generation Software-Defined Manufacturing And OEE Insights

As life sciences manufacturers push toward Pharma 4.0, many are finding that legacy systems and siloed data are slowing progress. A new approach—software-defined manufacturing—offers a way forward. By decoupling control logic from hardware, manufacturers gain the flexibility to adapt quickly to shifting business and regulatory demands. Honeywell Aptica, paired with TrackWise Manufacturing OEE, enables real-time production visibility and predictive insights that can drive a 20–25% boost in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). This combination helps accelerate batch release cycles, minimize downtime, and maintain consistent compliance.

For manufacturers looking to modernize operations without overhauling infrastructure, discover how this strategy offers a scalable path to smarter, more agile production.
