Understanding Digital Twins in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains

Digital twins are virtual models that accurately replicate physical entities. In pharmaceutical supply chains, they can simulate manufacturing processes, track inventory, and monitor distribution networks in real-time. This technology enables companies to create a dynamic digital representation of their entire supply chain, facilitating better decision-making and operational efficiency. (1)

 

Applications in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains



  • Manufacturing Simulation: Optimise production processes by simulating different scenarios.



  • Inventory Management: Monitor stock levels and predict future inventory needs.



  • Distribution Optimization: Streamline logistics and transportation routes.



  • Equipment Monitoring: Track the performance and maintenance needs of machinery.
