The 2020 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo will be ISPE’s first completely virtual Annual Meeting. As always, there will be great learning and networking opportunities—in fact, the digital format offers greater flexibility for attendees.
Each year, ISPE celebrates innovations and advances in pharmaceutical manufacturing technology with its Facility of the Year Awards (FOYA) program. This year, we added a new category, Social Impact, to recognize companies that developed new standards and practices to prevent drug shortages and increase patients’ access to medicine, designed new tools or techniques that reduced the cost of drug products, or accelerated a shift to sustainable facility design that has significantly reduced environmental impact.
Process automation has become increasingly critical in pharmaceutical manufacturing due to stringent regulatory requirements and limitations inherent to manual environmental monitoring. This article highlights the key challenges associated with manual monitoring, such as contamination risks, human error, labor intensity, and inconsistent compliance, and presents robotic systems as...
The second edition of the ISPE Good Practice Guide: Ozone Sanitization of Pharmaceutical Water Storage and Distribution Systems offers comprehensive guidance on designing and operating pharmaceutical water storage and distribution systems that utilize ozone for sanitization, outlining key principles for implementing an effective sanitization approach.
Large engineering companies specializing in the industrial production sector have increasingly been adding process architects to their teams to address the need for expert designers in this specialized field.
