Using augmented reality (AR) for packaging in the pharmaceutical industry offers numerous benefits in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and compliance. Augmented Reality, or AR, is a technology that overlays digital information such as text, graphics, audio, and other virtual enhancements onto real-world objects in real-time. It offers Supportive Work Instructions to minimize errors and rework, ensuring tasks are completed correctly on the first attempt. The technology is initially implemented to support changeover optimization, aiding in cleaning, setup, and line clearance through digitally guided assistance. Training and Upskilling is another area where AR proves invaluable, providing detailed training to improve the skills of shop-floor employees. Additionally, Remote Expert Support allows for mentoring from any location, encouraging collaboration and knowledge exchange. In this session we will discuss how…

• Augmented Reality (AR) technology supports the changeover process of production lines
• Integration of AR into the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to ensure integration into batch documentation.
• AR technology integrated with MES enables automatic quality control checks and traceability throughout the packaging process.
• to reduce human errors, improve operational efficiency, enhance traceability and regulatory compliance.
• to streamline operations but also ensuring product integrity and quality in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process.
