Binocs Community Day 2024: A Global Success You Won’t Want to Miss Next Time!

Last month, Binocs Community Day 2024 successfully brought together key stakeholders from around the world for a truly special event. Co-hosted live from both Brussels and New Jersey, and simulcast for a global audience, it was a day packed with insights, new product reveals, and lively discussions, all geared toward elevating life sceince planning and scheduling.

For those who missed out—let us give you a taste of what happened!

Unlocking Value and Driving Innovations

Kicking off our plenary session, Simon Sprague from BCG gave a highly insightful keynote address that was packed with actionable ideas and strategies for optimizing complex lab operations. His overview of end-to-end synchronization and an exclusive sneak peek at some cutting edge AI tools from BCG set the scene perfectly for a wider session focused on transforming lab management, creating stronger links across the life sciences supply chain, and leveraging the power of AI.

Attendees also saw major product feature announcements:

  • Performance Compass: An intuitive new feature that offers users an at-a-glance overview of their most critical performance metrics. It’s all about putting the right information front and center to empower decision-makers.
  • BinocsAI: We unveiled our new AI capabilities, designed to tackle the toughest capacity planning, scheduling, and KPI interpretation challenges. Real artificial intelligence that doesn’t just support—it solves.

Customer Case Studies: Real Impact, Real Results

One of the standout parts of the day was the incredible series of customer case studies. Our clients showcased how Binocs is driving real impact across the life science sector:

  • AstraZeneca shared how they’re unlocking value through end-to-end synchronization between supply chain and QC.
  • Merck KGaA demonstrated how they use Binocs to manage their budget exercise workflows more efficiently in DP development and quality operations.
  • Legend Biotech highlighted how Binocs supports ATMP production planning for large-scale cell therapy manufacturing.
  • Sandoz explained their journey towards lean lab digitalization in pharma development, with Binocs as a key enabler.
  • Apotex discussed how Binocs serves as an AI-based solution for scheduling their QC labs.
  • Lilly shared their approach to scaling QC scheduling at a global level, using Binocs across their quality network.
  • GSK gave insights into how their global rollout of Binocs for vaccine QC planning was accelerated through the use of configuration templating.

Workshops, Networking, and Great Food

For our in-person attendees, the day offered hands-on workshops that went beyond the slides—diving into real tips and tricks for getting the most out of Binocs. These sessions were a chance to explore the power of Binocs in an interactive environment, alongside our experts.

And of course, what’s an event without some great networking and great food? Between sessions, attendees had ample opportunities to connect, share, and learn from one another—proving yet again that the strength of the Binocs community lies in its collaborative spirit.
