Medical device manufacturers have traditionally used paper-based methods to guide and track the execution of manufacturing processes, including paper device history records (DHR). But industry leaders have made strides in adopting automated processes. However, now they are facing challenges in scaling these systems, especially across globally distributed production facilities and when contracting with manufacturing partners. Gathering, standardizing, and contextualizing real-time manufacturing data across all participants in the supply chain can enable automated validation of product equipment and processes.
