Manufacturing Automation for Biotech
Struggling to keep pace with the market growth in Biotech?
Your market opportunity is growing rapidly. By 2023, bioprocessing, stainless steel, single-use, and medical equipment sub-sectors are each expected to be sized in the tens of billions of dollars. To compete, you need to reduce the time and effort required to get your products to those companies that are making a real impact on patient outcomes.
The challenge
Manual processes dispersed throughout your operations are creating errors and inefficiencies
You want to streamline and connect your customers, sales, and engineering teams in an automated end-to-end process that begins with the customer, directly at the point of purchase, and ends with the finished biotech system or equipment.
But sales reps are frequently submitting product configurations that are optimized poorly from an engineering and profit-making standpoint. And engineers are mired in requests and rework that slow down sales cycles and restrict innovation.
The solution
Eliminate bottlenecks and supercharge biotech manufacturing efficiency through automation
Once a system configuration has been finalized, sales reps can automatically generate all of the documents required to initiate the manufacturing and assembly of your complex biotech products. Technical drawings, CAD files, parts sheets, assembly instructions, and product renderings are all created without any input from engineering.
Complex product rules ensure only valid configurations make their way through sales and engineering to the production team, eliminating the time-wasting back-and-forth that causes deal-threatening delays. Sales feel confident that products will be built to customers’ exact specifications, and customers always get what they want, on time.
“Our product configurator, powered by Epicor CPQ, allowed us to systematize our engineering experience to generate customer specific products within minutes, not weeks.”
“We already see developments that will change the manufacturing industry through 2023 — for example, uniform physical goods that are transformed into unique digital items through the use of information technology — so the time to act is now.”
“Before Epicor CPQ, our sales team would create quotes that didn’t reflect accurate pricing or engineering rules. They needed to submit them to the engineering team multiple times with multiple reworks until they were correct.”

Sales and engineering automation through the use of CAD drawings gives you this ability, providing sales reps with the visual outputs they need to win deals, without having to rely on an over-stretched engineering department that should be focussed on innovation rather than transactional sales tasks.
