Perceptive APC, part of Applied Materials APG
Pharma
For over 30
years, Applied Materials automation software has been the preferred solution to
achieve operational excellence in the world’s most demanding manufacturing
environments. 100% of semiconductor manufacturers use our automation software
to make decisions about how to run their factories and manage their supply
chain.
Our SmartFactory
Rx® solutions have been specifically developed to bring this expertise to the
Pharma industry and are implemented across the global life science industry. This suite of advanced manufacturing software
solutions brings together analytics, maintenance and scheduling to optimize process
development, yield and resource utilization.
The Perceptive APC
team within Applied Materials APG Pharma group deploys Advanced Process Control
and Machine Learning solutions in process development and manufacturing. The
team develops and deploys solutions for the nutritional and pharmaceutical
industries using the SmartFactory Rx® NutriMV and PharmaMV automation
platforms, respectively. The software satisfies the regulatory requirements of
the high value manufacturing industries allowing integrated deployment of
modelling, data validation, PAT sensor integration, Machine Learning, APC and
real-time Optimisation technology.
The flexibility
of our solutions enables industry to achieve improvements and efficiencies from
the process development stage through to full-scale production.
