The challenge
Novartis is expanding. Their site in Baarle-Nassau, the Netherlands is being prepared for new production lines.
AdAcAp (Advanced Accelerator Applications) —a Novartis subsidiary focusing on nuclear medicine— is once again investing in automation with Arcsom.
In an ambitious project, the capacity of medicine production is increased within a tight environmental management system (EMS) and building management system (BMS). Different priorities and timelines are pressing. This project calls for a coordinator and an expert who knows the pharma standard well.
