Digital Roadmap & DIP™ Planning

A progressive, customer-need-driven approach — each phase builds on the previous toward full digital maturity.

Phased digital roadmap planning

Digital maturity is not bought in one step. DIP™ planning sequences the work so that each phase delivers value on its own while creating the foundation for the next — and every phase is triggered by evolving customer needs rather than a fixed template.

Systems and timelines are tailored per customer’s regulatory environment, operational priorities and digital maturity baseline.

Three phases

From foundation to intelligence

Each phase builds on the previous one, moving from data visibility and regulatory compliance to predictive and prescriptive optimization.

Phase 1 · Foundation

Foundation — 0–6 months

L4 Enterprise — ERP (finance, procurement) · L3 Operations — MES (dispensing, weighing) · L2 Control — SCADA (data acquisition).

Phase 2 · Digitalization

Digitalization — 6–18 months

L4 Enterprise — QMS, DMS, ERP (HR, inventory) · L3 Operations — MES (EBR, production), LIMS · L2 Control — DCS (advanced control).

Phase 3 · Intelligence

Intelligence — 18+ months

L4 Enterprise — advanced analytics & BI, AI/ML-driven insights · L3 Operations — manufacturing intelligence (OEE), APC, PAT, serialization · L2 Control — predictive maintenance, historian & energy optimization.
