Closed-loop manufacturing seeks to increase efficiency in resource usage and data flow throughout the production line. It promotes a faster flow of information that is aimed at increasing the quality of the products and production efficiency. This is why the medical device industry, which operates under strict regulatory frameworks, has embraced it as part of the digital transformation.

I’m your host, Bettina Pruemper, with Siemens Global Marketing, and today I’m joined by Dr. James B. Thompson, Senior Director for Industry Strategy, Medical Device and Pharmaceutical, at Siemens Digital Industries Software.
