Only when an MES is integrated with the relevant production-related IT systems, can its benefits unfold completely, and it is then that a consistent information flow throughout all levels is made possible.
This includes both vertical and horizontal integration. Vertical integration, i.e., integration "from shop floor to top floor", is necessary to ensure the desired "real-time visibility" so that the production processes become transparent to corporate management. Horizontal integration, on the other hand, lays the foundation for a complete and consistent supply chain view covering all the processes from material receipt to goods shipment.
When we design and implement systems in our projects, our customers benefit from clearly defined standard interfaces, through which PAS-X is horizontally and vertically integrated into your IT infrastructure. Werum uses the interface definitions of international industry standards (OPC, XML, etc.). With regard to the functional assignment of tasks to different levels, Werum complies with such standards as ANSI/ISA 88 / 95.
Based on a large number of projects, we have amassed years of experience in the field of MES and ERP system integration.
We provide certified preconfigured interfaces working with market-leading ERP systems in the pharmaceutical industry thus reducing integration efforts and shortening project run times. Our dedicated SAP specialists help you integrate your system with the leading ERP system in the pharmaceutical industry.
Today, a continuous, uninterrupted horizontal and vertical information flow is a standard component of modern production concepts.
Only through integrated IT systems can up-to-date production strategies such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, Performance Monitoring and Right-First-Time be implemented in a beneficial and practical way. Nowadays, state-of-the-art MES Systems are generally deployed to provide the link between ERP and production levels. Integration of the MES System with lower-level machinery and equipment therefore plays a central role in all successful MES projects.
Perfect integration is the key to ensuring future performance and flexibility throughout the system: PAS-X comes with standard interfaces to different SCADA/Batch/DCS systems.
More and more, quality control in the manufacturing process (IPC) directly impacts production procedures. As a standard feature, PAS-X integration capability provides for synchronization between MBR elements and LIMS activities. Typical elements for integration are sampling activities and storing of IPC results.
With this functionality, PAS-X contributes yet again to improved integration of production and quality management.
Documents, such as master batch records or SOPs, form the basis for any activity in the regulated industry. Pharmaceutical companies use Document Management Systems (DMS) to save and store documents in electronic form. PAS-X offers integration to achieve the following goals:
Saving and storing of printed manufacturing reports
Referencing of SOPs for display during the actual manufacturing process
Consolidating manufacturing reports with documents from other systems (e.g. logs from testing equipment)
