Pharma industry adopts AI-driven IFM as COVID-19 norms become new normal

The pharma industry is turning to agile operating models to enable a
lean and effective environment. In this regard, it has increased the
pace of digital transformation to focus on contactless technology and
has embarked on a disinfection revolution across its operations spanning
R&D, manufacture, sales, warehouses and distribution centres.
Life threatening COVID-19 has altered industry operations, paving the
way for innovative, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven and tech-enabled
disinfection solutions that are sustainable, thus ensuring a sterile
workplace for the future with a proof of safety across people, property
and business, said Rupal Sinha, director IFMS, Quess Corp, a global
workforce management major.
According to Sinha integrated facility management (IFM) plays a pivotal
role in the pharma industry as maintenance, operation, and validation of
critical systems such as clean room HVAC systems, clean utilities,
laboratory water systems, other high purity systems, are closely linked
to production of end products that need to meet quality standards.
An IOT-based and AI-driven facility management provider will be a winner
as risks can be better managed, planning and scheduling of preventive
maintenance of assets and equipment without disruption can be easily
aligned with production timelines, and security and safety of the
workplace can be better monitored with the help of command control
centres backed by skilled security personnel for response, Sinha told
Pharmabiz.
A microbial-free environment is essential for the pharmaceutical
industry. Smart UV-C disinfection technologies like ultraviolet
germicidal irradiation is one such technology that has been in existence
for decades and used widely in hospitals and laboratories to disinfect
air, surfaces and surgical tools. The technology harnesses UVC light
killing 99.9% of exposed microorganism like bacteria, virus and other
pathogens by destroying their DNA.
As businesses have restarted, there is a visible demand for disinfection
services. New materials are being used to coat surfaces to actively
repel and inactivate viruses, providing a constant layer of protection
for a predefined period. UVC robots and flood lights are used for
sterilising work places and food served, with proven results backed by
laboratory tests, she said.
Even water used for various processes in pharma research and
manufacturing, needs to meet microbial quality standards to ensure the
final product quality are met. UV technology can enable disinfection
efficiency upto 99.9% without altering the physical and chemical
properties of water.
Laminar airflow unit is of Class 100 area in a pharma facility where UVC
disinfection technology helps in microbial analysis by removing all
retained microorganisms in the unit. A UV-C disinfectant tunnel can help
pharma companies to sterilize all raw materials and compounds at entry
and exit gate to remove microbial contamination. UV-C BOTs can be used
at designated production processes to ensure total quality of the
medicines produced.
“All these technologies are comprehensive, non-invasive, non-chemical,
and sans residue. The pharmaceutical industry should consider adopting
the same in their business processes after conducting due diligence,”
said Sinha.
