Pharmaceutical manufacturing operates under constraints that most industries never face. Every batch must meet exact specifications. Every process parameter must be documented. Every deviation must be investigated. And every minute of downtime on a high-value drug production line can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Industrial IoT in pharma isn't about general "Industry 4.0" buzzwords — it's about solving the specific tension between regulatory compliance, batch quality, and operational efficiency.
