2026-06-02 12:00 2026-06-02 13:30 Europe/Madrid Digitalization and AI in pharmaceutical industrial sites — from discussion to action

The round table led by ManageArt will highlight in which areas of pharmaceutical industrial sites digitalization and artificial intelligence projects are being applied. It will provide an overview of where there are opportunities to implement digital projects, quantifying the savings achieved, in order to identify which areas present challenges and opportunities to improve site competitiveness, both from an effectiveness and efficiency perspective.

Topics related to projects will be discussed from the standpoint of their organization and implementation. Among other aspects, the criteria used for evaluating decisions on project implementation will be analyzed. Likewise, the critical aspects in the development and implementation of these projects will be discussed, including the involvement of key roles to ensure success, as well as the most common barriers in this type of initiatives.

Achieved returns will be shared, and sector-specific aspects will be addressed, such as validation of systems related to artificial intelligence, experiences in regulatory audits, and expectations regarding GMP Annex 22.

2026-06-02 15:30 2026-06-02 16:30 Europe/Madrid Resiliencia y competitividad industrial impulsadas por datos: casos de uso y hoja de ruta de madurez. We will explore real implementation cases in the Pharma industry: Digital Twins, real-time process monitoring (CPV 4.0), and AI use in GMP-regulated environments, aimed at improving quality, flexibility, and sustainability. The session highlights the importance of clearly defining needs before selecting tools, co-creating with all stakeholders (creators and users) to ensure adoption and ROI. These cases will also be contrasted with plant and company digital maturity indexes, assessing current status, gaps, and preparations to become the plant of the future over the next decade. It will be an interactive space to discuss priorities, barriers, and practical implementation decisions. Industry Showcase

2026-06-05 12:00 2026-06-05 12:15 Europe/Madrid [BEST IN CLASS Expoquimia] Almirall’s energy digital twin: artificial intelligence to optimize industrial energy management. With the participation of Sener The energy digital twin developed by Almirall with Sener enables real-time management of the complexity of a pharmaceutical plant’s energy mix through artificial intelligence and advanced analytics. By integrating operational data, energy demand, renewable generation, and market prices, the system automatically optimizes utilities production, improving efficiency and reducing emissions. This project demonstrates how energy-focused digitalization becomes a key enabler for decarbonization and industrial competitiveness. Industry Showcase
