Moving From Documents to Data: Improving Management and Traceability of Critical Data in Medical Device Manufacturing

Medical device companies are subject to regulatory and compliance demands related to their products and development process. Often, that leads to a huge amount of data being produced in the form of documents and other data types.

Managing this data is not easy, because the location, as well as the context of the documents and related data, need to be managed. This is often where the problem occurs. And it gets even worse when you need to share your data or submit packages externally.

Many medical device manufacturers are looking for better ways to structure and manage their documents so they can meet regulatory or compliance requirements.

Minerva has worked in regulatory and compliance heavy industries for decades, and in this webinar, the featured speakers will share their experiences and ways to address the challenges device manufacturers face by utilizing digital data to drive business process transformation.

Christoph Golinski, Senior PLM consultant

Christoph Golinski has more than 15 years of experience in consulting for PLM solutions in the medical device, aerospace, electronics, high-tech and renewable energy industries. His knowledge spans the disciplines of configuration management, requirements engineering and PLM data quality management. His fascination of PLM software is visible, and he could talk about it for hours. The range of requirements and the tools used in a manufacturing company is wide and almost everything is included in a PLM software system, from complete in-house developments to open source. The character of the product data and the business processes vary from heavily regulated industries to less regulated industries, but both will benefit from being managed in a PLM system. In short, PLM is and remains the backbone of every industrial company.
