Werum supports global MES rollout strategies
Werum Software and Systems, one of the leading and most experienced suppliers of MES for the pharmaceutical industry, has put a special focus on optimising the procedures in MES projects
With its core function of Electronic Batch Recording (EBR), the MES guides the user through the manufacturing process and checks manually acquired data for plausibility when entered.
The PAS-X system continually monitors the stipulated process flow: it also offers forecast functions to show deviations at a very early stage and documents unexpected events.
This is the basis for Bayer to conduct statistical evaluations enabling them to continually improve the quality of their processes.
PAS-X is designed to ensure complete, GMP-compliant, and searchable documentation and archiving of production runs.
All batch documentation is automatically checked for completeness.
Connected to PAS-X are two subordinate SCADA systems by ProLeit and ABB.
With the roll-out of PAS-X, paper-based documentation had to yield to electronic documentation.
The regular production briefings are now taking place at the EBR system.
At its production site in Wuppertal-Elberfeld Bayer produces more than 20 different active ingredients.
Among them are active ingredients for drugs to treat coronary heart diseases like the well-known Adalat, for the antibiotics Ciprobay and Ayalox as well as for the biotechnologically produced Glucobay.
Substances employed in veterinary medicine complete the range of products.
