105: The Connected Batch

The Connected Batch: Real-Time Digital Twins in Pharma Supply Chain Operations

In this episode of Center of Excellence – Pharma 4.0, we explore how digital twin technology is redefining pharmaceutical operations—from R&D and manufacturing to logistics and patient care. By creating living, real-time replicas of supply chain processes, digital twins deliver unprecedented visibility, predictive insights, and proactive decision-making.

We examine how pharma leaders are using digital twins to:

  • Accelerate R&D with virtual patients, molecular modeling, and clinical trial simulations that improve success rates and cut costs.
  • Optimize manufacturing through golden batch analysis, predictive maintenance, and real-time release testing that enhance quality, efficiency, and compliance.
  • Strengthen supply chains with IoT-enabled cold chain monitoring, inventory optimization, and anti-counterfeiting solutions ensuring safe, reliable delivery worldwide.
  • Advance patient-centric care via virtual trials, journey simulations, and predictive analytics that personalize engagement and outcomes.

You’ll also hear how regulatory bodies are supporting digital twin adoption, how market investments are surging with projected 42% CAGR through 2034, and why convergence with AI, blockchain, IoT, and AR/VR is unlocking the next generation of pharma innovation.

Whether you’re an R&D strategist, manufacturing leader, or supply chain innovator, this episode reveals how connected batch operations can transform compliance-driven complexity into competitive advantage.
