Location: Shenzhen

Speaker: Alex Xu, CEO & Founder at Veliter

Veliter’s Topic: Exploring AI in Oligonucleotide Manufacturing

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers many possibilities for drug production, including but not limited to optimizing process design and control, intelligent monitoring and maintenance, and trend analysis to drive continuous improvement. AI can be deployed alongside other advanced manufacturing technologies to achieve desired benefits, bringing manufacturers a well-controlled, highly connected, and digitized ecosystem and pharmaceutical value chain.

Draft Guidance from the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) on “Artificial Intelligence in Drug Manufacturing”:

Artificial Intelligence: Software and hardware systems capable of perceiving the environment, interpreting data, and making decisions on actions.

AI applications in drug manufacturing primarily include process design optimization and scale-up, advanced process control, quality control and assurance, process monitoring, defect inspection, and trend analysis and detection.

Applications in Drug Manufacturing:

  • Process Optimization: Modeling of process parameters, optimization of process models
  • Dosage Form Development: Predicting solubility and bioavailability, designing targeted delivery systems, formulation optimization
  • Automation and Control in Manufacturing: Machine learning and predictive modeling, computer vision and image analysis, process control, and optimization
  • Enhanced Quality Control and Assurance: Real-time quality monitoring, predictive maintenance, defect detection, data analysis and traceability, regulatory compliance
