Overview

In this one-day workshop, the world of robots, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and overall digitalization will be presented. Drawing references from other industries, the potential for pharma applications will be demonstrated while introducing and transparently assessing risks and advantages. This includes a regulatory viewpoint.

The attendees shall receive insights into

  • To what extent are these technologies feasible today and ready to be used?
  • What is possible today with respect to pharma applications?
  • Where are the limitations, if any, and what are they?
  • What shall be considered when starting a project today?
  • The workshop includes lectures as well as hands-on training by mock ups and live activities presented in the exhibition hall.

This workshop serves as an initial introduction and includes some hands-on learning opportunities while focusing on personal exchange amongst all attendees and speakers. As this world continues to move and change fast, the aim is to provide this workshop repeatedly in an effort to present novel developments and solutions on an ongoing basis with future PDA conferences.
