A Guide To Digitizing Med Device Manufacturing Operations

By James Jardine

Based on industry research and customer use cases, this comprehensive explores how a fully connected manufacturing solution with digitized device history records (DHRs) can extend digitization to the “last mile” of production, which has been left to deal with paper, spreadsheets, and other standalone systems to manage DHRs.

In a 2021 survey on digital transformation, executives cited the following as the top reasons for investing in digital transformation:

• Innovate faster.
• Modernize to keep with the times.
• Industry changes require it.
• Become more resilient.
• Competitor moves require it.
• To comply with regulations.

There can be no “smart manufacturing” without operational intelligence. Medtech manufacturers’ goal of delivering more product faster, at lower costs, and with fewer quality issues is hindered by a shortage of actionable insights. Inadequate or siloed data is rendering much of the intelligence that data can provide useless in its efforts to accelerate product delivery, reduce costs, and minimize quality issues.
