As pharmaceutical companies focus on precision medicine coupled with the need to accelerate drug development, technology suppliers are looking at ways to support the industry effort.

Emerson, for example, turned its attention toward its Syncade manufacturing execution system (MES) and how it is delivering the software to life sciences organizations. The automation and engineering company is teaming up with global consulting and project engineering firm Enterprise System Partners (ESP) to overcome the deployment challenges associated with MES.

The implementation of MES typically follows the classic engineering model of analysis, design, coding, testing, installation and maintenance. This monolithic waterfall methodology, in which development is done in a linear way, requires that each task be completed before proceeding to the next. This takes a considerable amount of time to implement and involves risk as changes may occur between drafting the initial specifications and deploying the system.
