Operational Efficiency at BAYER: Driving Excellence, Delivering Impact

Reach out to Isabella Federspiel or Reed Hersey to learn how BAYER is reimagining efficiency—from streamlined operations to strategic impact—to drive excellence, empower performance, and unlock the full potential of every process.

Driving Efficiency Through Integrated Digital Strategies at Bayer

Unified Requirements, Risk & Test/PLM: Ensures compliance, traceability, and faster innovation.

Smart Service Platforms: Cut downtime, boost productivity, and streamline spare parts.

Track Transformation: Measure data flow, automation gains, and resolution speed.

In today’s fast-evolving MedTech landscape, regulatory complexity, fragmented systems, and inefficient service operations are major barriers to innovation and profitability. Integrating requirements management enabled by application lifecycle management solutions (ALM) with product lifecycle management (PLM)—such as Codebeamer with Windchill—enables Bayer to streamline product development cycles and align software and hardware development under a unified compliance framework. This integration ensures traceability, automates documentation, and helps navigate evolving global regulations, reducing the risk of noncompliance and accelerating time to market.

On the service side, using ThingWorx, ServiceMax, and Servigistics creates a seamless, end-to-end service ecosystem. You can be confident that remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and automated work order management significantly reduce unplanned downtime and boost technician productivity. A major challenge—spare part optimization—is addressed by consolidating data across systems, eliminating duplicate part numbers, and ensuring accurate tracking. Leveraging AI-driven optimization is key to improving capital expenditure. This approach not only prevents costly inventory errors but also enhances customer satisfaction through faster service resolution.

By implementing a digital thread strategy, connect your data across the entire product lifecycle, breaking down silos and enabling real-time insights. This approach drives operational efficiency, ensures compliance, and positions Bayer to lead in a competitive, regulated market. Review PTC´s MedTech solutions.
