EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
uses as an example the Container Management business subfunction to
administer and monitor the status of containers, receptacles and
pallets. The system keeps status lists, cleaning rules and
histories for the individual container types in the form of detailed logbooks.
During the weighing operation a plausibility check is carried out to ensure the suitability of source and
target containers. The container management component checks that the containers which are being used meet
the set requirements. Usually, barcodes or transponders are used to ensure reliable container identification.
A comprehensive set of master data is allocated to each container, and includes data on tare administration,
complex rules for cleaning or sterilizing, product compatibility and possible product sequences.
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
checks containers prior to their use, e.g. for cleaning status and usability.
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT has much more to offer though. It administers cleaning procedures for all types of
production-related objects, including master batch records and particular rules for cleaning scales, work rooms, containers, production
equipment and setup parts as well as toolkits. Even complex rules for sterilization and associated sterility expiration dates after
cleaning operations can be managed and monitored.
With EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT , it is possible to control the assembling of
individual equipment modules into complex units and to use these complex units in the production process.
In this context, EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT monitors and documents counter values and
authorized, parameterizable equipment statuses and status changes.
