Remote Work in a COVID World

The Pandemic Shift

The Coronavirus pandemic has drastically changed traditional work norms as we know them. Teams across the globe have now instituted widespread work from home protocols, limiting face-to-face interactions, travel and on site collaboration.

As more organizations find success with this remote work transition, they are assessing the technology solutions needed so that teams can still collaborate daily, solve problems and have eyes on site.

Life Sciences

The life science industry has been greatly impacted by COVID-19. The teams around the world responsible for pharma manufacturing have looked for efficient, secure ways to communicate remotely, connect with vendors who can’t travel on site, provide facility tours in a safe way, successfully navigate facility acceptance testing and much more.

As a result, intelligent AR and AI-driven technologies have seen rapid adoption, especially within complex industries that must preserve supply chains and provide a safe work environment for essential personnel while minimizing disruption to critical operations. With the appropriate flexible platforms in place, many pharma functions can continue remotely, in a comfortable way, without any major shifts in behavior.
