Medical device manufacturers rely on well-documented, well-controlled procedures to stay in compliance and to ensure product quality and safety. However, for most companies, the processes for manufacturing engineering and planning, design transfer and production continue to be document centric. This approach can be problematic.
Operational quality can enable manufacturers to automate data collection and management. This data-centric approach can help companies automatically enforce processes and track production in device history records. Comprehensive production information records can help facilitate meaningful, real-time manufacturing data gathering, standardization and contextualization.
Digitalized data collection, aggregation and feedback help you avoid downtime and triggers proactive response. It fosters stronger collaboration within each location, between plants and with vendors. Data workflows such as digital design transfer enable collaboration between R&D and manufacturing teams. Centralization helps improve communication of data, changes and quality controls.
