Fujirebio Diagnostics

Fujirebio Diagnostics digitizes its biomarker production with AVEVA solutions

Fujirebio Diagnostics wanted to strengthen collaboration and accelerate biomarker manufacturing by moving from a paper-based system to a scalable digital infrastructure. Manual report review consumed considerable resources every day, exposed the organization to data entry errors and made it harder to maintain compliance with FDA requirements. The Malvern, Pennsylvania campus deployed AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA Work Tasks, AVEVA Historian and AVEVA InTouch HMI to provide industrial monitoring, automate equipment data acquisition and generate electronic reports for review and approval. The gains are considerable: the electronic initiative supports the production of 75 million tests, the equipment monitoring system saves around 1,100 man-hours per year, and data review time has dropped from more than fifteen hours to just a few minutes. Fujirebio Diagnostics now has a compliant, reliable infrastructure that is fully ready for future growth.

Vice President of Supply Chain, Fujirebio Diagnostics

FAQ

How does AVEVA support a paperless electronic initiative in pharma?
At Fujirebio Diagnostics, AVEVA System Platform, Work Tasks, Historian and InTouch HMI replaced paper records with a compliant digital infrastructure. Equipment data is acquired automatically, structured into electronic reports and submitted for digital review and approval. This digitalization eliminates the risk of data entry errors, ensures FDA compliance and drastically speeds up the review process, which has gone from 15 hours to just a few minutes.
What role does AVEVA Work Tasks play in biomarker manufacturing?
AVEVA Work Tasks structures and digitizes Fujirebio Diagnostics' operating procedures, ensuring that every critical step in biomarker manufacturing is carried out in line with quality and regulatory standards. Operators follow guided workflows, record their interventions and trigger reviews automatically. This task orchestration is a standard in the life sciences, where GxP traceability is a non-negotiable requirement.
How can 1,100 person-hours per year be saved thanks to AVEVA Historian?
AVEVA Historian automates equipment monitoring at Fujirebio Diagnostics, eliminating the time-consuming manual review of reports. Critical parameters are recorded continuously, analyzed automatically and only alert teams when there is a deviation. This shift from reactive checking to exception-based monitoring frees up 1,100 person-hours per year, the equivalent of about 0.5 FTE, who can focus on tasks of greater scientific value.
How can FDA compliance be maintained in a bioproduction environment?
FDA compliance requires full traceability, validated electronic signatures and impeccable data integrity. AVEVA System Platform and Historian provide the technical infrastructure: automatic recording of critical parameters, a complete audit trail and secure access. For Fujirebio Diagnostics, this automation turned compliance from a time-consuming constraint into a natural by-product of operations, ensuring the regulatory robustness that is essential in the life sciences.
How did an electronic initiative help Fujirebio produce 75 million tests?
The production of 75 million tests at Fujirebio Diagnostics is made possible by the smooth operation of the AVEVA electronic infrastructure. Cutting data review from more than 15 hours to a few minutes drastically speeds up the batch release cycle. This ramp-up in throughput without compromising quality illustrates the added value of modern industrial monitoring in very high-volume regulated manufacturing.
