挑战
GxPi, a UK-based company specializing in GxP compliance for the Life Sciences sector, faced a challenge with one of its clients. After several months of testing and user acceptance, the client encountered a severe issue with GxPi’s x-docs™ product. The problem was inconsistent and impossible to isolate, making it difficult to replicate and solve. GxPi could not work in the live environment at the client’s site due to compliance issues. The company needed a solution that would allow them to replicate the client's environment exactly, in order to identify and resolve the issue.
关于客户
GxPi is a UK-based company with a decade of experience in GxP compliance. They provide products and services that simplify compliance with regulatory requirements within the Life Sciences sector. GxPi’s services arm delivers high-value, high-impact compliance consulting services around the GxPs (GMP, GLP, GCP, GDP and GAMP®), qualified person (QP), quality assurance (QA), and validation services. GxPi’s solutions arm provides electronic Document Management (EDMS), compliance Training, and electronic Content Management solutions on its x-docs™ product on a SharePoint platform.
解决方案
GxPi turned to netexperts and its partnership with iland. They utilized iland Cloud Services™, built on VMware vCloud™ technology, to completely replicate the client environment. GxPi provided images of the existing machines to netexperts who converted them to OVF format and uploaded them to the cloud. This allowed all the machines to communicate with each other. netexperts opened up access so the client could set up passwords for GxPi without GxPi knowing user passwords. Each file server was copied and left in the cloud to create a baseline. By leveraging the iland Cloud Services environment, GxPi was able to replicate the exact errors its client was getting so it could solve the problems.

Flow Robotics: Scaling Up Production and Accelerating Product Development with IoT
Flow Robotics, a Danish manufacturer, developed flowbot™ ONE pipetting robots to alleviate the strain on bioanalysts in life-science laboratories and hospitals across Europe. These robots were designed to automate part of the testing process, speeding up the time it takes to produce results and reducing pressure on staff. However, the company faced challenges in scaling up production and accelerating product development. High workloads and physically challenging conditions have long been an issue for laboratory professionals. Flow Robotics estimates that around half of medical lab technicians carry out the same arm movements for at least a quarter of their working day. The American Society for Clinical Pathology reported that 85% of laboratory professionals feel burnt out; 36% struggle with inadequate staffing; and 32% face a heavy workload and pressure to complete all testing on time.

Revolutionizing Aerospace Industry with 3D Printing: A 63% Lighter Titanium Part
GE Aviation, a renowned name in the aerospace industry, recognized the potential of 3D printing technology in transforming the sector. The primary challenge was to reduce the weight of the aerospace parts, which would directly impact the fuel costs. A lighter airplane would mean lower fuel consumption, leading to cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint. However, achieving this weight reduction without compromising the strength and functionality of the parts was a significant challenge. Traditional manufacturing methods were not able to provide the desired weight reduction while maintaining the required stiffness and strength of the parts. The challenge was to find a solution that could create strong, light, and functional aerospace parts.

Material Intelligence at Ethicon: Sustaining Medical Device Manufacturability and Improving Patient Care
Ethicon, a world-class medical devices company, faced several challenges in its operations. The rapid selection of manufacturing materials compliant in global markets was critical to assure patients, practitioners, and purchasing organizations of the biocompatibility of their medical devices. Ensuring supply chain continuity and minimizing risks of obsolescence for medical devices due to regulatory changes were also crucial in meeting Ethicon’s ongoing commitment to maintaining patient care. Furthermore, the engineers at Ethicon were developing the next generation of medical devices and needed to access historical material data to accelerate new product development. The process of centralizing and digitalizing its materials information was a significant challenge that Ethicon needed to overcome.

IWT's Transformation: Customizing with Efficiency in IoT
IWT, a company specializing in the design, manufacture, and installation of washing systems for the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries, faced a significant challenge in managing its wide product portfolio. The company manufactures 45 different models, 60% of which are customized to some degree. This high level of customization, combined with limited production quantities, necessitated a controlled process for managing the release of engineering changes. The goal was to achieve efficiency, reduce process time, and better coordinate production throughout the organization. The need for strict compliance in heavily regulated industries further complicated the situation. IWT's existing PLM journey with Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS for 3D CAD and Enovia for managing CAD data and Bills of Materials (BOMs) was proving inadequate. The system had limited part classification, no workflow, and no tool to ensure data consistency. The management of non-CAD documents was also a challenge, with information often difficult to find and access.
