At Sanofi, they are committed to continuous improvement. For decades, they have focused their manufacturing on providing solutions that facilitate the lives of their users, and that is why they also decided to implement an advanced strategy for the “Factories of the Future.”
When they realized that they needed to change the way they managed their production equipment and the digitization of their operations, they conducted a market comparison to ultimately opt for this innovative solution, precisely because it allowed them to integrate everything.
The focus and challenges were clear: manage the heterogeneity of production equipment along with the contextualization of the data captured, achieve convergence between OT and IT, and scale the solution to more than 60 sites and thousands of pieces of equipment, maintaining cybersecurity and GxP compliance as fundamental requirements.
Thanks to this implementation, Sanofi achieved greater control over its assets, documentation, security, and facilities in general, significantly improving the daily lives of its workers and optimizing its production operations.
