SCW.AI, a global leader in digital manufacturing solutions for the life sciences industry, has partnered with Asteria Health, one of the fastest-growing 503B outsourcing facilities in the United States, to launch a next-generation, data-driven pharmaceutical manufacturing site in Birmingham, Alabama.
This partnership brings together SCW.AI’s advanced Digital Factory Platform and Asteria Health’s ambitious vision for growth, quality, and operational excellence – setting a new benchmark for the 503B compounding landscape.
SCW.AI’s Digital Factory Platform Powers Real-Time Manufacturing Intelligence
SCW.AI’s Digital Factory Platform enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to shift from reactive decision-making to a fully data-governed environment. At Asteria Health’s Birmingham facility, SCW.AI deployed its Monitoring Solutions, providing visibility into key production metrics such as:
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
- Cycle time and throughput
- Line status and downtime
- Labor efficiency and asset utilization
Real-time insights from smart sensors provide actionable data across all organizational levels, fostering transparency and continuous improvement.
Asteria Health Launches Digital-First Facility, Setting New Standards in 503B Outsourcing
Asteria Health is rapidly emerging as a trusted 503B outsourcing facility, known for its focus on safety, reliability, and innovation. With the launch of its new, fully digital manufacturing site in Birmingham, Alabama, the company – under the leadership of Chris Musser, Vice President of Operations – has embraced a digital-first strategy to fuel growth, improve responsiveness, and empower its teams to deliver better outcomes for patients and providers alike.
On May 14, 2025, Asteria officially opened its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility during a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by industry partners, executives, and leadership from Biote, a key stakeholder. Guests toured the facility and experienced firsthand the impact of digital transformation in pharmaceutical operations.

We’re proud to support Asteria’s vision with a platform that puts data and intelligence at the heart of manufacturing.”
