In this episode, we focus on the use of mobile devices in production. Plantvision's Lydia Söderlund and Thomas Bachinger share their thoughts on how mobile devices can increase efficiency, traceability and security - but also what to keep in mind for a successful implementation. You'll also get smart tips to ensure a successful project - such as finding the areas where mobile devices can really make a difference, making sure the technology works with the systems you already have, and making sure you get your staff on board - to make the implementation smoother and the end result more appreciated.

In the world of pharma and biotech, validation and testing are essential to ensure that products and processes meet regulatory requirements and the highest possible quality standards. In this episode, Plantvision's Jessica Kjellberg and Kanar Mahmoud discuss how to go about validating and using an electronic test tool in GMP environments. They also provide you with the answer to the chicken and egg question when implementing a test tool - namely, can you use the test tool itself to validate the test tool or do you need to have a paper process first?

In this episode, Plantvision's Jessica Kjellberg and Katarina Stojanovic offer valuable insights to all small businesses and research companies that are in the early stages of developing their quality system. When starting a GMP business, or beginning with CE marking for a medical device, it can feel both confusing and overwhelming with all the laws and regulations you have to follow. In today's episode, we answer your questions! What do you need to consider when setting up a quality system? How do you proceed if you need to change your processes? What is the role of inspections and what is the difference between internal and external audits? You will also get an insight into how an external audit from a government organization usually works.
