As pharmaceuticals today look for procedure execution with data and metadata capture, there’s a need for a data review dashboard to aid with increased process efficiency while looking into compliance issues for standard operating procedures, the statement said.

With contactless manufacturing evolving as the new norm, these goals can be achieved by removing paper-based and disconnected systems, which can hinder data and technology transfer between research, development and manufacturing, it said.

“One Lab provides a complete electronic solution for digitalization of R&D and manufacturing QC labs in a unified way, eliminating data silos,” Ashok Nayak, CIO of IPCA, said.
