Apprentice

Apprentice is a manufacturing execution software company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States. It was built to help pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers replace paper batch records and disconnected systems, aiming to cut deviations and speed up the path from drug formulation to production.

Its platform combines a manufacturing execution system, laboratory execution system and connected manufacturing network with an AI agent layer called A1 that drafts deviation reports, troubleshooting guides and other documentation, and connects to existing ERP, MES, QMS and SCADA systems. Pharma and biotech manufacturers use it to run paperless work instructions, quality workflows and remote collaboration on the production floor.
