Summary

In an industry where regulatory rigor, batch quality, and time-to-market define success, pharmaceutical manufacturers still often rely on decades-old process-information tools—including long-trusted systems such as the AVEVA PI System—even as the analytics landscape has evolved. Join dataPARC and Catalyx as they explore today’s industrial analytics options and show how modern, historian-agnostic solutions can provide real-time insight, 21 CFR Part 11–ready data integrity and auditability, and faster quality decisions—all without disrupting production.

We’ll cover how to:

Map the current industrial analytics landscape – A straightforward framework for comparing historians, visualization layers, and advanced analytics offerings.
Understand the role of AI / machine learning – Practical, low-hype examples of where emerging tools add value in batch and utilities monitoring.
Consider the options – An evaluation of the considerations when evaluating your system options, including migration from AVEVA PI
Plan a low-risk migration path – When migrating from AVEVA PI, proven methods for converting legacy displays, calculations, and data sets while preserving fidelity and minimizing downtime.
Ensure 21 CFR Part 11 compliance – Important topics for seamless validation in GMP environments.
