Speaker

Dominique Telfort

Global MES Solutions Architect, Life Sciences Manufacturing, Cognizant Life Sciences Manufacturing

Dominique leads NextGen MES initiatives across the regulated life sciences industry. With over 17 years of experience in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Dominique has served in strategic and technical leadership roles including Principal MES Engineer, Sr. Quality Advocate and Global MES Manager.

In his current role, he is responsible for solution engineering, enhancing MES capabilities, scaling global MES talent, developing accelerators, and writing high-impact RFP proposals for Pharma, Biotech, and CDMO organizations. Dominique specializes in agnostic MES platforms, ensuring flexibility across technologies and seamless integration with automation and enterprise systems.

He is a collaborative leader who drives innovation with stakeholders, optimizes production workflows, and aligns digital strategies with core business goals. Dominique’s expertise in building Factory Models and delivering harmonized recipe authoring frameworks supports scalable, compliant, and high-impact MES deployments worldwide.

The Pop in Your Job: What drives me is transforming MES from a static execution tool into a strategic asset—scalable, intelligent, and ready to evolve. I’m passionate about building frameworks that accelerate recipe delivery, empower global collaboration, and promote operational harmony across sites. A huge driver for me is when my leadership challenges me to think bigger, push boundaries, and architect solutions that truly move the business forward. It sharpens my focus and brings out the best in my approach to building high-value MES programs. With a growing interest in Agentic MES tools, I’m constantly exploring how modular thinking and smart orchestration can reshape how we design, deploy, and support MES across the enterprise.

Session

AI-Powered MES — To Be or Not to Be?

Panel Discussion

Monday, September 22

06:00 pm - 06:45 pm

Live in Berlin

Less Details

Join for a futuristic, end-of-day panel that cuts through the noise to uncover the real story behind AI integration in Manufacturing Execution Systems. From enhancing human decisions and automating routine tasks to navigating the high-stake landscape of GxP compliance, we will explore where AI is succeeding, where it is struggling, and what still holds the industry back. This high-energy discussion features experts who have lived through the MES adaptation and embraced innovation under audit pressure; and envisioning agentic intelligence in validated environments. You will walk away with a good understanding of what’s coming next, and what you need to do to lead the charge. Because the real question isn’t “To Be or Not to Be?” It is: “Will your MES be ready as AI knocks on the Door!” This panel will explore:

  • How to embed AI into your MES journey, effectively complementing and enhancing your overall MES strategy.
  • Ways to navigate evolving regulatory frameworks for AI, focusing on compliance, transparency, and validation requirements.
  • The role of agentic intelligence in MES, including autonomous agents and adaptive AI within manufacturing operations.
  • Pragmatic use cases and future MES readiness, featuring real-world examples, lessons learned, and strategies for preparing for next-generation MES.
