Enabling closed-loop manufacturing in medical device and diagnostic

The changing healthcare landscape poses enormous pressure for medical device manufacturers. While they already operate in a complex, highly regulated industry, market dynamics are driving the need for innovation at consistently high quality and controlled cost levels.

In this environment, it is clear that the underlying internal development and manufacturing processes and systems also must innovate.

The foundation of manufacturing in this new era must be anchored in intelligent, connected, collaborative systems that accelerate the exchange of information across the entire product lifecycle, driving quality, safety and reliability from idea inception through production and into service, and continuously feeding back relevant intelligence to optimize quality in real time at every step.
