In laboratory environments, digital work instructions are invaluable for maintaining bio safety and aseptic operations.
Nick Armstrong, Senior Director of Digital Enablement, CAI
In the high-stakes world of pharmaceutical manufacturing, precision, safety, and consistency are non-negotiable. Yet many labs still rely on outdated, paper-based standard operating procedures (SOPs) that fall short in delivering the necessary accuracy and efficiency.
Recognizing the critical need for innovation, CAI—a global leader in quality and performance consulting—has partnered with Taqtile to bring cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) solutions to life sciences environments. Through Taqtile’s Manifest® platform, CAI is transforming how complex procedures are learned, practiced, and executed.
The Problem: Paper-Based SOPs Can’t Keep Up
Nick Armstrong, CAI’s Director of Digital Enablement, highlights the core issue: traditional SOPs often result in variability, inconsistent outcomes, and extended training times. In today’s rapidly evolving biotech and pharma industries, this lag in capability can impact both compliance and patient outcomes.
The Solution: AR-Powered Spatial Work Instructions
With Taqtile’s Manifest® platform, CAI introduces a new paradigm for operational excellence—one that puts dynamic, spatial work instructions directly into the hands of lab technicians. These digital instructions offer:
- Step-by-step visual guidance
- Real-time updates and version control
- Audit trails for compliance
- Improved training engagement and retention
“Increased accuracy, reduced training time, and enhanced accessibility—these are the tangible benefits we’re seeing,” says Armstrong.
Field Application: OpenBio Pharma in San Diego
OpenBio Pharma, a forward-thinking pharmaceutical services company based in San Diego, is exploring how Manifest can be integrated into their lab safety training and certification programs. Bill Jankowski, Director of Operations at OpenBio Pharma, sees the potential for Manifest to elevate both quality and compliance by streamlining how procedures are taught and followed in controlled environments.
