Joint Project Between planeus and a Leading International Medical Technology Manufacturer Nominated for CIBA Success Story of the Year for Advancing Medical Device Validation Planning
Berlin, Germany – May 2026 – planeus, a pioneer in next-generation planning and control, has announced that its joint project with a leading international medical technology manufacturer has been nominated for the CIBA Success Story of the Year.
The nomination recognizes a long-term collaboration focused on one of the most demanding planning environments in the medical device industry: Device Lifetime & Preconditioning.
As regulatory requirements continue to increase and validation processes become more complex, manufacturers face growing challenges in coordinating validation cycles, sterilization equipment, machines, personnel, documentation, and compliance requirements. In many organizations, these activities are still managed through fragmented systems, spreadsheets, and manual coordination efforts that struggle to keep pace with operational complexity.
Together, planeus and the leading international medical technology manufacturer addressed these challenges by establishing a comprehensive planning environment designed to provide greater transparency, reliability, and operational control across validation activities.
The solution enables:
- Automated and dynamic cycle planning
- Intelligent utilization planning for sterilization equipment
- Integrated planning of equipment, machines, and personnel
- End-to-end visibility across projects, resources, and progress
- A scalable foundation for compliant validation planning
The project demonstrates how modern planning approaches can help manufacturers move beyond static scheduling and manual coordination toward more connected, future-oriented operations.
“One of the biggest challenges facing manufacturers today is that operational complexity continues to grow while planning methods often remain unchanged,” said Sunny Mak from planeus’s International Team.
“This nomination is meaningful because it recognizes not only a successful project, but also the willingness to rethink how planning should work in highly regulated environments. We are especially grateful for the trust our customer placed in us throughout this journey.”
The nomination comes at a time when manufacturers across industries are facing increasing pressure to improve agility, resilience, and transparency. While the project was developed in a medical device validation environment, many of the underlying planning challenges are shared across manufacturing, laboratory, testing, and regulated operations worldwide.
The winner will be announced during the CIBA Congress on May 17, where the planeus success story stands alongside other leading industrial digitalization initiatives from Bosch, Jungheinrich AG, Flender, Fronius, and Rhein-Nadel Automation.
