The data-driven biotechnology revolution at Automation Fair 2023
At the recent Automation Fair 2023, a renowned Rockwell Automation event focused on industrial innovation and digital transformation, experts and scientists highlighted how biotechnology is being transformed by new technologies. The fair, which took place in Boston, brought together more than 10 thousand participants and highlighted global manufacturing innovations and trends, with a special emphasis on the biotechnology sector.
The role of artificial intelligence in the biotechnology industry
Tom Bollenbach, CTO of the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI), highlighted the crucial importance of data analysis, especially through Artificial Intelligence (AI), for the biotechnology industry. At ARMI, Bollenbach and his team focus on producing stem cells derived from the pancreas, a process that traditionally takes 37 days. By implementing advanced data analysis tools, this period can be drastically shortened, accelerating scientific development and driving the growth of biomanufacturing.
Challenges and solutions in biotechnology
One of the main challenges in biotechnology is connecting laboratory research with automation processes, especially those certified by regulatory bodies. Furthermore, the application of automation in various biotechnological products, such as tissues and cells, presents unique complexities. Bollenbach stresses the need to meticulously measure and analyze cell components, such as lipids and proteins, to advance the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer's. The use of large data sets, advanced data analysis, computing and AI is changing the paradigm, making the approach much faster and more efficient.
