People-centric approaches to digitalization initiatives have revolutionized the way pharmaceutical companies drive efficiency and optimize collaboration in 24/7 plant operations. With the right knowledge, creativity, and ability to respond to unexpected events, people are the greatest asset of pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. In the age of Industry 4.0, we focused on obtaining process-relevant data and an overview of all plant conditions. Machine-data, however, cannot paint the full picture. Human context is needed to elaborate on events and occurrences. This information helps to take precautionary measures and improves decision making in 24/7 plant operations.Industry 5.0 puts people back at the heart of manufacturing enabling interactive plant operations. Seamless human-to-human and human-to-machine communication based on one single source of truth solves the challenges of shift communication in a highly complex and rapidly changing environment.In doing so, the transparent information flow unlocks the full potential of people-centered plant process management and moves manufacturing teams into the new era of plant operations. In this session, you will learn:

• How digitalization initiatives have proven to increase shift communication and plant performance
• Why a people-focused approach is key for successful manufacturing
• How pharmaceutical companies facing new challenges can achieve resilience
