The pharmaceutical industry stands at a critical inflection point. Faced with skyrocketing data volumes, increasingly complex global regulations, rising operational costs, and mounting pressure to deliver more value and faster. Therefore, companies must embrace bold, transformative technologies. In this environment, artificial intelligence (AI) is not just a lever for innovation—it is a strategic cornerstone for sustainable growth.
From manufacturing and quality assurance to commercial operations, AI is reshaping how pharmaceutical organizations operate, make decisions, and engage key stakeholders. At the heart of this transformation is Orbitae – AI by SDG Group, designed to infuse intelligence throughout the pharma value chain, enabling companies to act faster, reduce risk, and generate a measurable impact.
Unlocking AI Value Across the Pharma Ecosystem
Whether it’s identifying promising compounds, streamlining clinical trials, predicting supply chain disruptions, or automating regulatory compliance, AI offers pharmaceutical companies the opportunity to transform both efficiency and impact. Orbitae integrates domain expertise, advanced analytics, and intelligent automation to support value creation across these core areas:
Accelerated Research and Development (R&D)
Orbitae supports early discovery, clinical trial optimization, and pharmacovigilance through:
- AI-based trial design and site selection.
- Patient recruitment prediction.
- Signal detection from real-world evidence.
This reduces time-to-market, mitigates risk, and increases the likelihood of trial success.
AI-Powered Manufacturing & Quality (M&Q)
In a heavily regulated and efficiency-driven environment, introducing a multi-agent system, seamlessly integrated into the manufacturing processes, provides a competitive edge in production. The agents need to be deeply trained in the functional area they are involved in, to truly provide a measurable benefit for the industry:
1. A new teammate for Batch Release
Orbitae evolves the quality control teams by providing an agentic approach to review activities in production lines. The batch release can leverage on an automated data analysis by a trained agent. This new team resource limits the need of a second person verification by a human being by exception only and reduces the time to release. This agent is responsible for:
- Automatically initiate the batch review process triggered by data availability.
- Reduce backlog and manual workload.
- Reduce the manufacturing cycle time per batch ensuring GMP conformity.
2. Interbatch Process Optimization
Production efficiency strongly depends on interbatch operations. Orbitae identifies wastefulness across these activities and acts, thanks to an AI agent approach, to:
- Detect execution gaps with root-cause analysis.
- Suggest intelligent actions to improve productivity.
- Enhance batch prioritization and parallelization across production stages.
3. Predictive Quality Control
Orbitae promptly and proactively acts to anticipate issues that could affect the production using sensor data and historical patterns to:
- Identify quality deviation drivers early in the process.
- Replace static alerts with prioritized, actionable insights.
- Enable preemptive interventions that minimize risk and non-conformity propagation.
These capabilities directly improve product quality, reduce time to release, and increase operational throughput.
Commercial Excellence in Pharma
While our approach delivers value across the entire pharmaceutical value chain, SDG Group’s strongest expertise lies in transforming the commercial operations of pharmaceutical companies—whether in prescription drugs, over-the-counter (OTC) products, consumer health, or specialty therapies. In today’s dynamic and competitive market, commercial teams must engage smarter, faster, and in a more personalized way—whether their primary stakeholders are healthcare professionals, pharmacists, or end consumers.
1. Centric Customer Engagement and Personalization
With data coming from CRM systems, events, web, MSL interactions, publications, clinical trials, etc, Orbitae builds a 360º view of each HCP/Pharmacy. AI models then generate:
- Intelligent HCP/Pharmacy segmentation based on behavior and profile.
- “Next Best Action” recommendations to guide sales and medical reps.
- Dynamic omnichannel content delivery across email, events, and in-person meetings.
This enhances field force productivity and improves the relevance of every interaction.
2. Sales Operations and Planning
Orbitae brings AI-driven intelligence to sales operations, including:
- Territory and quota planning optimization.
- Predictive sales forecasting using historical and market data.
- Call plan efficiency modeling to maximize impact with limited resources.
These capabilities free up reps to focus on what matters most—quality engagement with HCPs.
Compliance-First
The pharma industry faces rising scrutiny around off-label promotion, data usage, and ethical engagement.
Regulatoria® is an AI-powered regulatory compliance assistant designed by SDG Group for the pharmaceutical industry, enabling the intelligent ingestion and analysis of both local and international regulations. It evaluates alignment with internal company processes and provides actionable recommendations to ensure full regulatory adherence.
By automating the review and update of internal policies, Regulatoria® enhances operational efficiency, reduces legal and reputational risk through real-time compliance monitoring, optimizes costs by freeing up internal resources, and increases organizational adaptability in response to evolving regulatory demands—delivering faster, more precise, and less disruptive compliance management.
Six Trends Driving the AI-Powered Future of Pharma
The transformation underway is shaped by six strategic trends—captured in SDG Group’s latest research and reflected in Orbitae’s evolution:
1. From Use Cases to Platforms
AI is moving from pilot initiatives to enterprise-wide enablers of integrated value.
2. From Task Automation to Strategic Enablement
Automation is just the beginning—true value lies in guiding decisions and shaping strategy.
3. From Fragmented Channels to Unified Journeys
AI enables seamless HCP engagement across sales, marketing, and medical affairs.
4. From Retrospective Analysis to Real-Time Insights
Always-on intelligence is helping companies to respond faster and smarter.
5. From Functional Silos to Cross-Departmental AI
AI success requires collaboration between data, IT, and business units—especially in commercial teams.
6. From Vendor Lock-In to Scalable, Flexible Frameworks
Modular, API-ready AI architectures support rapid experimentation and sustainable growth
