Industrial Technology Systems (ITS), an independent solution provider has recently signed an agreement to become the Werum Software and Systems Pas-X MES solution partner in the UK and Ireland

Industrial Technology Systems (ITS), an independent solution provider has recently signed an agreement to become the Werum Software and Systems Pas-X MES solution partner in the UK and Ireland After attending the Werum Pas-X User Group Conference in June last year ITS managing director, Malcolm Knott, recognised the exciting potential of the Werum Pas-X suite of products for the pharma and biopharma industries

As Malcolm Knott explains, "It is evident that the Pas-X range has been designed with the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries needs at the forefront of the design process.

Process reliability, regulatory compliance including 21 CFR Part 11, equipment management and shorter lead times are all important to these industries.

The Werum Pas-X family of products address these needs and offer significant improvements in all of these key areas.

The most exciting feature of the Pas-X suite is its flexibility - as the systems are modular they can be easily expanded to meet the requirements of tomorrow".

As a partner ITS will be responsible for the integration of Pas-X solutions in the UK and Ireland.

With a strong presence in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries ITS customers include Allergan, AstraZeneca, Aventis Pharma, Becton Dickinson, Bespak, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Gyrus, Pfizer and Wyeth.

As a result of these partnerships ITS employees have a thorough understanding of pharmaceutical processes, regulatory requirements and in working to the GAMP guidelines.

Both companies will benefit from ITS strong presence and experience in these regulated industries.

Werum Pas-X MES suite coordinates, optimises and controls all workflows within manufacturing enabling real paperless production.

Pas-X ensures both vertical integration with ERP level (eg SAP) and field level as well as horizontal integration with the supply chain.

The Pas-X portfolio consists of several modules including electronic batch recording, weighing and dispensing, material tracking, line control and optimisation, warehouse management and deviation and event management.

ITS specialises in the design and implementation of control solutions and management information systems to process and manufacturing industries.

ITS offers everything from feasibility studies and consultancy through to full turnkey design and integration, validation services, manpower support and regulatory compliance training.

As an independent solution provider ITS recommends, designs and implements solutions that are best suited to meet each customer's needs.

The aim of the partnership with Werum Software and Systems will be to extend ITS range of products and services and to increase both company share in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical automation market.

The two companies will work closely together, targeting selected pharma and biopharma companies through a variety of activities.

Werum and ITS were joint sponsors of the "SMi Biologics: Overcoming the Challenges of Development and Manufacture" conference that took place at the Hatton in London on the 8th and 9th March 2004.

As sponsors the companies exhibited at the conference and Lars Hornung of Werum Software and Systems, was invited as a speaker to present the Pas-X Biotech suite of products.

Werum Software and Systems will also have a presence on ITS exhibition stand at the Total Exhibition 2004, the widest ever packaging and processing exhibition.

ITS will be presenting a range of products including Werum Pas-X Biotech portfolio on stand 1H80 in Hall 1 at the NEC in Birmingham between the 29th March and 1st April 2004.
