In this forward-looking panel, industry experts will discuss how AI is shaping the future of maintenance practices within the pharmaceutical industry. As companies aim to drive operational excellence across global sites, AI is emerging as a critical catalyst for optimizing maintenance strategies—from asset lifecycle management to resource planning and operational support. This panel discussion will delve into how AI can enhance predictive maintenance practices, extend asset lifecycles, improve resource allocation, and support consistent and compliant operations across all sites. Panelists will share insights into their approach, lessons learned, best practices, and the evolving role of AI in achieving maintenance excellence that empowers pharmaceutical success. The following topics will be discussed in the panel:

• How AI-powered tools can drive maintenance excellence by enabling proactive, precise maintenance practices that maximize asset value and reduce downtime.
• Integrating AI into asset lifecycle management to extend asset lifespan, optimize replacement strategies, and support effective lifecycle planning across global sites.
• Enhancing resource planning and allocation with AI by using predictive insights to streamline maintenance schedules, optimize resource distribution, and align workforce capabilities with maintenance needs.
• Building consistent operational support through AI-driven insights to improve compliance, maintain quality standards, and streamline decision-making across geographically dispersed sites.

This session explores how a unified reliability strategy, grounded in targeted reliability assessments, can drive actionable outcomes and strategic alignment across global sites. Often, reliability reports are created but remain underutilized, resulting in missed opportunities to enhance performance and consistency. This methodology provides a structured approach to not only track metrics and assess impact but also align efforts with a comprehensive master plan. Participants will gain practical insights into developing a reliability strategy that fosters consistency and unity across locations, moving beyond standalone reports toward sustainable improvements in reliability. In this session, you will learn how to:

• Conduct foundational reliability assessments that inform strategic planning and guide actionable improvements.
• Develop a unified, company-wide reliability master plan to foster consistency and alignment across sites.
• Implement processes to track key metrics effectively, transforming data into impactful, measurable outcomes.
• Ensure reliability initiatives lead to tangible benefits and support long-term organizational goals.
