Solution

Sanofi is using an in-house digital manufacturing and supply stack that combines advanced analytics, real-time tracking, generative AI, predictive drug stability modelling, and its Modulus smart-factory model. Data from manufacturing, quality control, laboratories, and supply operations is captured across digitally connected facilities and fed into analytics workflows that optimize production processes, improve supply-chain visibility, and flag potential disruptions earlier. Generative AI is used to automate report creation, including data collection and formatting for Product Quality Reports, while predictive drug stability modelling helps development teams anticipate product behavior and shorten decisions around transfer, submission, and launch. Modulus extends this architecture into AI-enabled, plug-and-play biomanufacturing sites that can flex output across multiple vaccine and biologic types. The overall system serves Manufacturing & Supply and R&D teams with automated planning, experiment design, and faster operational decisions.

Data flow

Manufacturing, laboratory, quality, and supply data is captured across Sanofi’s connected operations and Modulus facilities, processed through advanced analytics, predictive models, and generative AI workflows, and then delivered to Manufacturing & Supply and R&D teams for supply monitoring, automated reporting, planning, product transfer, and launch decisions.
