Why PharmaSuite®?
Your application involves different types of users, and perhaps different sites, all with varying needs. Those needs continue to evolve as your application does; what works today may not tomorrow. Versatility is critical; out-of-the-box content provides consistency yet must be easily configurable to address changing needs. And everything must be documented to meet stringent regulations.
Scalable applications include:
- Production order management
- Quality management
- Recipe management
- Review by exception
- Track and trace
Preserve Quality with Cold Chain Tracking
With PharmaSuite, manufacturers can manage and track thermo-sensitive material throughout the entire production process.
- Define temperature and time requirements for all thermo-sensitive materials being used
- Track the amount of time a sublot has spent in each temperature range
- Notify operators when a sublot is reaching usable limits
- Manage cold chain tracking properties inheritance
Laying the foundation for growth
Relying on manual paper-based processes might have worked in the past, but with a growing need for agility, it’s no longer dependable. If your goal is to scale production without sacrificing product quality, you need a modern and digital solution that can help you take advantage of this opportunity to grow. Discover what success can look like in the highly competitive and strongly regulated Life Sciences industry.
How PharmaSuite can help you save
Savings Through Efficiency
The efficiencies made possible through an EBR system can help optimize the total cost of your deployments. For example, automating quality-assurance functions and review by exception capabilities reduces the effort and associated costs of researching process deviations, while electronic logs of batch data eliminate the costs of physically storing paper documents.
Less Waste
Reducing the risk of human error combined with EBR features, such as enforceable work flows, can help prevent production or recording errors and reduce waste product. What’s more, preventing these errors can also help minimize the likelihood of expensive, brand-ravaging product recalls.
Inventory Savings
Automated data collection and the ability to review exceptions in real time as they happen, rather than after the fact, result in less product sitting in the warehouse and waiting for release. For you, this faster turnover translated to reduced inventory costs.
Fewer human errors, better outcomes
To overcome the operating challenges in the Korean domestic market, the pharmaceutical company Dong-A ST planned to enter overseas markets. This required a production environment based on international standards. Explore how FactoryTalk PharmaSuite and other Rockwell Automation solutions helped the team at Dong-A ST achieve their goals.
