How Automation Can Accelerate the Future of Life Science Industry
The life science industry is undergoing a technological shift, where automation plays a critical role in meeting regulatory demands and improving production efficiency. So says Mats Petersson at Shape Process Automation – the automation partner paving the way for globally scalable and quality-assured solutions.
The industry is in the midst of a transformation where automation not only streamlines processes but also helps companies navigate ever-increasing regulatory requirements. According to Mats Petersson, Head of the Life Science & Healthcare Business Unit at Shape Process Automation, the differences between automation in life science and in traditional industries are significant – especially in areas such as material selection, hygiene standards, and traceability.
“Life science requires a combination of technical expertise and a deep understanding of the sector’s specific demands – something we’ve built up over many years. Our customers have high expectations when it comes to traceability, documentation, and quality assurance, which calls for more than conventional industrial automation,” he explains.
🟦Solutions for Global and Local Demands
Shape Process Automation has extensive experience delivering tailored solutions that meet local regulatory requirements in markets such as the United States and Europe. As a global preferred partner to leading life science and healthcare companies, the company adapts its automation systems to both local needs and global standards – a crucial capability in a highly regulated industry, according to Petersson.
“Our global presence ensures qualified local service. We base our solutions on international frameworks such as EU directives but customize them to each client’s processes to comply with GMP requirements from both the FDA and EMA. The results speak for themselves: increased throughput, fewer errors, and improved quality.”
🟦 Automation Is a Partnership
Petersson emphasizes that automation should not be viewed as a one-off project, but rather as a long-term partnership. That’s why Shape Process Automation also offers training, support, and strategic advisory services – all essential to strengthening customer competitiveness and growth.
“Our training covers both technical and regulatory aspects to ensure our clients are fully prepared to meet future challenges. It’s not just about technology – it’s about business value,” he concludes.
