Session

How Can Integrated IT/OT Solutions Boost Operational Excellence in Pharmaceutical Plants?

Case Study

Monday, September 21

11:20 am - 11:45 am

Live in München

Less Details

Operational excellence in pharmaceutical manufacturing requires more than isolated digital initiatives. It demands tightly integrated IT and OT systems, reliable data flows, and harmonized processes across production environments. In this session, Boehringer Ingelheim will present how targeted digital solutions have strengthened transparency, compliance, and performance in its plants. The focus lies on aligning technology, processes, and governance to sustainably enhance efficiency, quality, and resilience in regulated manufacturing environments.

  • How can integrated IT/OT architectures improve transparency, compliance, and decision-making in pharmaceutical plants?
  • Which digital solutions deliver measurable impact on quality, efficiency, and operational stability?
  • Why is cross-functional alignment between operations, IT, and engineering critical to sustaining operational excellence?
Presentation

Company

Boehringer Ingelheim

In 1885, Albert Boehringer – aged just 24 – set up a small company in Ingelheim, Germany, with 28 employees, making tartaric acid for the food industry. A decade later, he broke new ground by using biotechnology to produce lactic acid in industrial quantities. This, in turn, funded the expansion into alkaloid extraction for the pharmaceutical industry, the move into independent pharmaceutical production – and the foundations of the company we know today. Almost 140 years later, Boehringer Ingelheim has grown vastly. Those 28 employees have become a diverse community of over 53,000: the small tartaric acid factory by the Rhine has become a leading global company serving over 130 markets in human pharma, animal health, and biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing. Our range includes some of the most innovative and effective human and animal treatments available, making lives better for millions; our contract manufacturing division is a prized partner for pharmaceutical manufacturers of all sizes.
