The pharmaceutical sector was one of the sectors which had to work through lockdowns, with less staff and sometimes more production. This has spurred many companies to think of the contactless way to maintenance, i.e. remote maintenance. What is the value proposition of digital energy systems for the pharma sector?

While many pharma companies had already started to build their digital capabilities, the government imposed lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic has further spurred the adoption of digital technology in the sector. Many companies see this as an opportunity as they are going contactless to manage operations such as maintenance, supply chain management, production etc. For plant managers in the pharma industry achieving energy efficiency is a strategic goal. Achieving energy efficiency reduces manufacturing costs as well as its environmental emissions.

At Schneider Electric, we provide the best conditions for manufacturing operations in pharma companies through our environmental management system.
