Bringing a new medicine to patients depends on
efficient tech transfer – the handover of recipe
and process data between sites. Previously,
this process was slowed by 12 disconnected
information silos, lacking standardization, which
led to delays and inefficiencies. The team
implemented Basecamp 2.0, a digital platform
that standardizes and harmonizes recipes, workflows and process knowledge across the
drug development life cycle. It enables faster, more
reliable transfers tailored to site-specific needs.
This reduced tech transfer timelines from 12 to six
months and has been scaled across Roche’s Drug
Substance Network. Roche now leads the industry
in this space and is sharing the model with peers
and consortia.USE CASE

Previously, 30 configuration engineers manually
configured more than 6,000 customized
chiller orders per year by evaluating millions of
component combinations. The response time
was long, and configuration was not the most
cost-effective. Midea’s Chongqing site used a
multi-physics simulation to build a configuration
data platform consisting of more than 100 high-
precision physical models. The platform creates
all alternative chillers virtually and calculates 46 core parameters (such as power and pressure
drop) for each virtual chiller by solving 420 non-
linear equations derived from 15 types of chiller
operating scenarios. By evaluating the simulated
performances for millions of chillers, a mixed
integer non-linear programming (MINLP)-based
optimization model generates the most cost-
effective configuration and automates its quotation
in one click.USE CASE

The survey indicated that today, leading companies
are enhancing efficiency and responsiveness by
using automation, digitalization and real-time
visibility in their supply chains, with many focusing
on streamlining operations, digitalizing processes
and investing in demand-sensing tools for proactive
decision-making. Near real-time visibility and
advanced production control systems are further
optimizing workflows and coordination. By 2030,
the survey disclosed that leading companies will
likely shift towards modernizing legacy systems, implementing network-wide asset visibility and
harnessing big data and advanced analytics for
predictive insights. Companies are also creating and
taking part in technology hubs that drive innovation
as well as deploying real-time ERP systems for
rapid disruption response. AI-driven decision-
making, integrated with supply chain digital twins,
will enable advanced scenario planning and
optimization, creating a highly adaptive, data-driven
and resilient supply chain ecosystem (Figure 2).3.3 Technology adoption
