Just What the Doctor Ordered

A TrakSYS-powered success story at AstraZeneca, delivered with Parsec partner Applied Control Engineering.

AstraZeneca is a global pharmaceutical and biologics company with operations in more than 100 countries. Its manufacturing environment supports a broad portfolio of therapies across major disease areas, requiring consistency, quality, and reliability at scale.

As operations expanded globally, AstraZeneca faced limited real-time visibility into performance across sites. Disparate systems and manual processes made it difficult to compare results, understand downtime, and fully support Lean initiatives focused on quality, flexibility, and waste reduction.

To address these challenges, AstraZeneca partnered with Applied Control Engineering to support a unified approach to operational visibility and continuous improvement using TrakSYS.

In this case study, we explore how Applied Control Engineering worked with AstraZeneca to:

• Establish real-time visibility into manufacturing performance across global sites
• Support Lean initiatives focused on quality, flexibility, and waste reduction
• Improve understanding of equipment downtime and production losses
• Enable consistent performance monitoring across formulation and packaging areas
• Strengthen operator engagement through shared operational insight
