Motivating factors for Industry 4.0 deployment

“So, if you look at the electronic batch records, it is updated as you go, and so, there is no signing, and then from a quality point of view, everything is green (on the screen). You know no further actions are required; it is green. It is just reviewing the greens. Moreover, if there are no reds in it, you just press approve and off it goes. So, it cuts out a large number of days in terms of reviewing documentation.”(P3)
I said it again, and I will say it until I am, I suppose, retired. It is a simplification. So, it is how do we remove complexity? How do we make it easier to do our jobs? So, like that simple example of complaints and data and pulling data seven days to manipulate data, we have a system. And, if we worked that system properly, it could take us less than an hour to do the same job. That is some difference. So instead of manipulating data for seven days, you have a person working on the improvement for seven days, and actually, you will start to see the cogs turned then. So that is what drives me.”(P10)
