Moonshot: Industry 4.0 in Life Sciences

Pharma doesn't build new plants. It rebuilds the same decade-old design with minor changes and calls it innovation. That strategy will never deliver Industry 4.0. What we actually need is closer to a moonshot — and the good news is, NASA literally wrote the playbook.

In this session we'll walk through why incremental iteration won't get pharma to 4.0, what a realistic tiered roadmap looks like (borrowing from Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo), and why the traditional project model is part of the problem. We'll also demo an AI-powered approach to Ignition development that changes the economics of digital transformation.
