Sanofi Manufacturing and Supply (M&S) Organization is preparing its future through an ambitious program named Modulus Facility. The facility is at the cornerstone of Sanofi strategy as it aims at creating a new manufacturing concept consisting of a new generation of evolutive multi-product facilities, modular, adaptable, and agile, leveraging new disruptive technologies, to better address the supply of Vaccine and Specialty Care Biologics products. One of these two Modulus Facilities is constructed in Singapore at a new Greenfield site, with a design similar to the one in Neuville (France). The facilities will also have highly digitalized and automated capabilities which is a key enabler for operations using technologies such as autonomous guided vehicles, cobots and cloud systems.
