LIFE SCIENCES PHARMACEUTICAL CONTINOUS MANUFACTURING<br />

With unprecedented economic pressures<br />

and increased global competition,<br />

pharmaceutical manufacturing<br />

companies are continuously looking<br />

to gain a competitive advantage<br />

through improving the efficiency of<br />

their processes and the quality of their<br />

products. Traditional manufacturing<br />

processes, which are batch processes,<br />

are no longer sustainable and there is no<br />

question that continuous manufacturing<br />

is the clear path forward towards leaner<br />

processes. Multi-physics numerical<br />

simulation is emerging as a gamechanging<br />

technology to help continuous<br />

manufacturing for Active Pharmaceutical<br />

Ingredients (APIs) become a reality<br />

through virtual prototyping, <strong>opt</strong>imization<br />

and modelling of the complete system.<br />
