Case Study: How a Top-3 Global Pharma Manufacturer Saves $1.5M Annually in APC Labor Costs With Connected Plant™

The Challenge

Across 3 production plants and 300+ APCs, inefficient workflows created massive operational burden:

Inefficient Operational Flow:

  • Maintaining configuration and manual weekly backups
  • Form printing → printout photocopying → true copy certification

Inefficient Data Integrity Processes:

  • Electronic review, audit trail review, and run reconciliation
  • Second person verification of LIMS data entry and manual logbook entries

After connecting, automating, and integrating with Connected Plant™, they:

  • Elminate 80% of APC-related failure reports
  • Save $1.5M annually in labor costs (~$4,800 per instrument)
  • Eliminated paper costs, saving close to $300,000 annually for their APCs alone
  • Implemented an electronic review process that complies with 21 CFR Part 11
  • No longer requires manual verification review—data automatically synchronizes from our platform to LIMS
