Optimizing Pharmaceutical Manufacturing with AI-Enabled Analytics – Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Yanhua Qiu, Associate Director, MS&T, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Maichong Xie, MS&T Specialist, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Learn how Teva’s process engineers demonstrate how Seeq’s AI-enabled analytics can transform pharmaceutical manufacturing troubleshooting by combining human expertise with AI-driven speed and scale. Using a tablet pan-coating deviation as a real-world example, the team shows how natural-language prompts and action agents organize equipment data, compare a deviation batch with a golden batch, overlay key process parameters, and help distinguish root causes from operator responses and other contributing factors. The session highlights how this human-in-the-loop approach can turn complex, fragmented investigations into actionable insights—reducing troubleshooting time from weeks to approximately two hours, or by 98% in the example shown—while supporting more proactive process optimization, knowledge sharing, and compliant product release.

Unleashing OEE+: revolutionizing global manufacturing excellence at Merck – Merck

Patrick Brett, Data Analyst, Merck

Joseph Reckamp, CEO/Founder, Reckamp Consulting

Learn how Merck is advancing global manufacturing excellence with OEE Plus and Seeq. The session covers Merck’s shift from a customized solution to a scalable platform combining real-time manufacturing and scheduling data, standardized visualizations, and dashboards tailored to different operations. A syringe-filling line case study shows how automated downtime classification and data-driven improvements reduced downtime by 80%, increased fill efficiency from 61% to 75%, and delivered approximately 10% additional capacity.

From Tool to Culture: Building Manufacturing Analytics Capability - Kaneka North America

Ziyan Sheriff, Senior Process Data Scientist, Kaneka North America

Kaneka North America explain how they built manufacturing analytics capability across a multi-plant chemical operation with a small digital transformation team and a deliberate focus on adoption, alignment, and continuous improvement. The presentation describes how the team used an early high-value cycle time use case to secure leadership buy-in, replace manual Excel-based tracking with more scalable real-time visibility, and demonstrate how Seeq could help production and technical teams improve productivity, yield, reliability, and downtime performance. It also highlights the structured engagement model that supported broader adoption, including quarterly multi-plant analytics meetings, biweekly plant-level sessions, digital champions, and a clear process for prioritizing and deploying use cases across sites. More importantly, the talk shows that scaling analytics is not just about building dashboards, but about turning insight into action, creating ownership across teams, and building a culture where small, practical wins can scale quickly into broader business value.
