There’s a lot of disruption infiltrating the life sciences industry—from increased merger-and-acquisition activity to regulatory pressure, escalating costs, shorter product lifecycles, and a move to continuous process in manufacturing. Collectively, these things are forcing organizations to reevaluate strategies and business models. For some, that starts with the technology on the plant floor.

Recently, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare company, announced it selected Siemens as a strategic manufacturing partner. In this new agreement—which extends a long-standing relationship between the two companies—Siemens will be the preferred automation supplier for GSK production and R&D sites worldwide, including vaccines.

This past March, GSK completed a three-part transaction with Novartis including the acquisition of Novartis’s vaccines business (excluding influenza vaccines), which was combined with the GSK Consumer Healthcare businesses to create a new company.
