We caught up with Dave Mullins from <\/strong>Emerson Automation Solutions, to learn about <\/b>the impact of Covid-19 on project implementation and digital adoption in the Life Sciences.\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has Covid-19 had an effect on projects and how busy the marketplace is in Manufacturing Information Systems?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The market is exceptionally busy right now due to a push to increase vaccine manufacturing capacity globally, as well as a number of projects now in design and construction due to delays during lockdowns. In Ireland, Emerson are supporting a number of significant projects – new biotech manufacturing facilities, system replacements and upgrades as well as process development and commercial scale up facilities being built. At a European level we are seeing a large number of projects currently underway to build vaccine facilities across many countries, which is good news for the Life Science sector as a whole which promises to remain extremely buoyant over the next 24 months.<\/p>\n

Do you see a change in the type of projects and technologies being employed by clients?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both IoT and DT are key elements in the Life Science industry. We are actively working with several Biotech customers who are now well on their way to a Digital Transformation (DT). This is a result of a push to get products to market faster and the need for better yields and enhanced product quality. The ever-increasing sea of data allied to improved process modelling is leading to digital twins and increased possibilities for scale up, optimisation and reduced time to market.<\/p>\n

Has remote working led to changes in how projects are implemented and systems will be supported in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of our customers are embracing the working from home model. This has certainly opened up new possibilities, particularly in delivering new projects. Remote support of systems is also a real possibility, but needs to be balanced by issues like Cybersecurity. While lots of discussions can take place remotely, there will always remain the need for individuals on-site building relationships with the customer to get the right information at the right time to develop and deliver successful solutions to their complex challenges.<\/p>\n
