Lonza wanted to achieve paperless quality control (QC) laboratories using automated digital systems. As part of this ambition, Lonza sought an end-to-end (E2E) automated solution to optimize environmental monitoring (EM) at four of its Cell & Gene Manufacturing sites across North America, Europe, and Asia. Successful implementation required an innovative approach that harmonized processes across different sites through digital and automation transformation. Lonza successfully integrated the MODA-EM® Module with Rapid Micro Biosystems' Growth Direct® System, combining paperless processes with automated microbial enumeration. This innovative approach is revolutionizing the delivery of critical medicines, accelerating product release, enhancing compliance robustness, and unlocking significant cost savings.
