Smart Factory Solutions from Zenith Technologies, A Cognizant Company

Smart Factory Solutions for Life Sciences, through IT / OT, End-to-End Delivery & Support

The industry is embracing digital transformation at an accelerated rate, driven by the need for flexible, efficient and GMP compliant facilities, that can be up and running quickly. Now more than ever, the industry is striving to bring new treatments to market faster, whilst supporting a more agile, remote workforce. With production systems and processes becoming more complex, interconnectivity and robust, smart factory solutions, in line with GMP, have become a strategic priority.

In order to achieve true Manufacturing 4.0 in Life Sciences, companies need a tighter integration of manufacturing processes, with systems harnessing data analytics across the manufacturing value chain. The adoption of IoT technologies, combined with secure and robust systems, will enable companies to maintain compliance and stay relevant as the market evolves.

The Life Sciences industry is continuously evolving and striving to be better, topics and trends such as Manufacturing 4.0, Digitalization, IoT, Advanced Analytics and Cyber have been at the forefront of discussions for some time. Many band these buzzwords about without understanding their true meaning, implications or reality for the unique nature of Life Science manufacturing. Based on our experience of over 1.2 million engineering hours and 1481 Life Sciences projects in 2019, whether your business is focused on; flexible manufacturing, operational resilience, continuous production, data driven decisions or achieving a remote workforce, we are here to help with your smart factory goals.

Our Mission is to make a meaningful difference in Life Sciences. We partner with our customers to get life saving medicines to market faster, whilst helping increase access to treatments globally. As an integral part of Cognizant, we are able to support our clients in achieving their ambitious smart factory goals and can deliver a complete end to end, technology solution, to GMP standards.
