And given the nature of data centres, they lend themselves particularly well to this approach, where standardisation of the end-user product is paramount.. DfMA brings precisely the reliability, predictability and speed to market that our data centre clients want and benefit from..
Adrian La Porta discusses the limitations of current manufacturing practices, particularly batch chemistry, in meeting the modern demands for higher volumes, complex products, and faster production at lower costs, all while minimising environmental impact.He points out the inefficiencies and hazards of scaling up production using traditional methods.. 3.
Innovation in process intensification and automation:.The podcast emphasises the shift towards process intensification and automation as solutions to the challenges faced by traditional manufacturing.These innovations promise to deliver lean and agile manufacturing, reducing waste, improving quality, and enabling the production of more complex molecules more efficiently.. 4.
The future of pharmaceutical manufacturing:.A significant focus is on the concept of miniaturisation and continuous processing as part of a new paradigm in drug manufacturing.
This approach not only reduces the environmental footprint and costs but also enhances safety and quality by enabling smaller, more controlled, and flexible production processes.. 5.
Barriers and opportunities for change:.“The majority of the consultants that are working with our customers and myself on the industrialised construction offering are manufacturing consultants,” she says.
“You have to think of things like systems architecture, and you have to understand things like flow.These are guys who live, breathe, eat, drink and sleep manufacturing, who understand how to apply it to these spaces.
Right now in the construction business, you have lots of these contractors opening up fab shops, and they're not going to manufacturing consultants to figure out how to set up a fab shop.It’s like, wait.
