Traditionally, early-stage and late-stage process development have been done separately, with early-stage mostly focused on material production and late-stage on process intensification. As more molecules in development fall under an orphan or fast-track indication, the traditional approach of linear development stages can be counterproductive—not to mention expensive—due to investing resources in perfecting a process prior to early clinical phase success.

Many credit the birth of the digital twin to Dr. Michael Grieves, who applied the idea to the manufacturing sector in 2002; however, the argument is often made that its origins can be traced back even further. For example, during the Space Race (1955-1975), NASA would create a replica of each spacecraft they would send into orbit. These replicas were studied and used for simulation to gain insight into their performance and improve their space exploration initiatives.

Production and intralogistics in the consumer goods industry are currently undergoing significant changes. This is the result of rising cost pressures and the need for greater automation as well as increasing product variants and customization. The changes that are taking place also relate to the goal of digitization: Every sensor, every machine, and all people involved in the production and intralogistics processes should be able to communicate with each other at all times. The vertical and, in the next step, horizontal networking of sensors, machines and factories is the systematic further development of this digitalization.

Today’s manufacturers face an unprecedented series of challenges. The current environment is one marked by supply chain disruption, labor shortages, increased competition and rising input prices. These disruptions expose existing inefficiencies in operations that innovative, forward-thinking organizations can convert into opportunities.

Legacy ERP is the weakest link in your digital transformation, especially when it’s disconnected from CRM. But when everything from supply to sales is built on the same platform, you get more value, flexibility, and visibility to better serve your customers. Moving away from your legacy ERP system and on to something more modern may seem daunting, but the alternative of doing nothing or waiting for the next new technology is holding your business back in more ways than you might imagine. Hundreds of Rootstock customers have gone through the same process, looking at the limitations of their legacy ERP but assuming the migration to a modern cloud-based ERP could wait another year. But, without fail, every single customer comes out the other side wondering why they waited so long to make the switch

In the past five years, there’s been a significant shift in what’s expected from manufacturers: in particular, speed to market and increasing production demand. Many have been seriously affected by COVID-19, and are still looking to keep costs down while delivering a high-quality product. And although Europe’s industrial production had grown year-on-year prior to 2020, facilities are battling against increased customer demand, supply chain delays, and shortages of materials
