Case Study: AstraZeneca achieves 1,000,000‑bottle annual capacity increase without additional capital with Parsec Automation (TrakSYS)

AstraZeneca Increasing Capacity without Additional Capital Investment

AstraZeneca, a global pharmaceutical company, needed to increase production capacity and create a more cost‑effective, flexible supply chain while improving real‑time visibility and reducing waste. To support its Lean Operations goals and better manage performance data, AstraZeneca engaged Parsec Automation to deploy the TrakSYS™ operations management platform.

Parsec Automation implemented TrakSYS™ across formulation, packaging and utilities, using SENSORTrak™ data collection, operator interfaces and ERP integration to deliver real‑time OEE tracking and operator engagement. The solution boosted OEE by 10–40% (10% on the bottle line), enabled one million additional bottles per year without extra capital investment, accelerated ROI, and gave plant teams actionable, real‑time production visibility.
