Case Study: Bristol-Myers Squibb increases process efficiency with Seeq Corporation

Bristol-Myers Squibb - Customer Case Study

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) needed a better way to find and analyze production data spread across multiple systems so its scientists and engineers could more quickly support process development, scale-up, and tech transfer. The company had difficulty locating data tied to specific process conditions, events, and time periods, especially in data-intensive pharmaceutical manufacturing. BMS used Seeq Corporation’s analytics tools alongside the OSIsoft PI System to add context and make the data easier to search and use.

Seeq Corporation helped BMS automate analysis of filter dryer batches by separating data into three drying stages and quickly identifying key parameters such as drying time, jacket temperature, product temperature, and agitator speed. Using Seeq’s pattern searching and batch overlay capabilities, BMS could find the right data faster and reduce manual, error-prone work. The reported impact was significant: BMS saved an average of one hour of analysis time per batch while improving productivity and supporting faster optimization of drying processes.
