Pharma 4.0 – intelligent automation & digitalization

For greater safety, quality, and efficiency in pharmaceutical manufacturing

Pharma 4.0 and digitalization solutions by Glatt

Pharma 4.0 describes the shift toward data-driven, connected, and automated pharmaceutical manufacturing. Glatt supports this transformation with modular digital solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing production environments.

From real-time process transparency to intelligent component inspection, our Pharma 4.0 approach enables step-by-step digitalization – without compromising validated processes or GMP compliance.

Shaping Pharma 4.0

From vision to operational reality

Driven by increasing regulatory requirements, quality expectations and efficiency targets, Pharma 4.0 is no longer a future concept but an operational standard. Digitalization enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to gain a deeper understanding of processes, reduce manual intervention, and build more robust production environments.

Glatt’s Pharma 4.0 portfolio combines shopfloor automation, IIoT platform connectivity, in‑process measurement and digital documentation into an integrated framework. The result is reliable, traceable and data‑driven production that supports consistent product quality and long‑term compliance.

Pharma factory of the future

Setting new standards in pharmaceutical automation and digitalization

We are setting new standards in highly automated pharmaceutical manufacturing. By digitalizing and automating production processes, combined with modular manufacturing concepts and advanced process integration, we create a next-generation production environment for solid dosage forms. As a system integrator and technology partner, we play a key role in turning visionary factory-of-the-future projects into reality.

Integrated automation for highly efficient production

As a systems integrator, Glatt provides planning, delivery, and commissioning of process equipment and automation solutions. A key element of our portfolio is the implementation of advanced digital connectivity solutions that enable seamless communication between equipment, production processes, and higher-level systems.

By developing an innovative automation architecture that supports highly automated production processes and minimizes manual intervention, as well as enabling intelligent coordination of material flows and process steps, the factory of the future can be controlled with maximum efficiency, reliability, and transparency.

Our solutions for your factory of the future

  • G-Connect

    Our digital integration architecture, based on G-Connect, makes a significant contribution to the factory of the future. As a central integration layer, G-Connect enables seamless communication between process equipment, production workflows, material flow systems, and higher-level IT structures, thereby creating a highly interconnected Pharma 4.0 environment.

  • Production Flow Control (PFC)

    Built on our digital integration concept, the Production Flow Control (PFC) system acts as the intelligent orchestration layer between MES, shopfloor systems and automated material handling. It digitally takes over tasks traditionally performed by operators and coordinates material movements throughout production.

  • System Integration

    As a systems integrator, we naturally take on the integration of process equipment, automation systems, and digital workflows into a unified manufacturing environment. This enables seamless interaction between different production units and helps bring the vision of highly automated manufacturing to life.

Proud to be part of a FOYA-winning innovation

We are very proud to have made a major contribution to Bayer’s SOLIDA-1 facility, which has received international recognition through the ISPE Facility of the Year Award (FOYA). Bayer’s SOLIDA-1 facility was honored in the categories Operational Excellences and Pharma 4.0. Glatt served as the key partner in this project, providing planning, integration, and technology and equipment.

The award confirms the successful implementation of a highly automated, digitally connected production environment and demonstrates how the close collaboration between Bayer, Glatt, and other partners has helped set a new standard for the pharmaceutical plant of the future.
