Paperless manufacturing

SIMATIC IT eBR includes a native integration between the manufacturing execution system (MES), the process control system (DCS) using SIMATIC PCS 7 and the HMI level with SIMATIC BATCH. The integration of batch processing based on the process control system with workflows and tasks that are managed in the MES system simplifies and speeds up the collection of data during operations. Integrated design means that the systems can be configured together directly. This helps cut the time it normally takes to implement a recipe drastically: in a typical project from one year to only two months.

Fully compliant with FDA and GMP regulations and prevalidated to meet all current standards for pharmaceutical manufacturing, SIMATIC IT eBR optimizes batch manufacturing processes and helps streamline resources, equipment allocation and standard operating procedures (SOPs). By simplifying the design, execution, review and release of master batch records and electronic batch records, SIMATIC IT eBR provides tremendous flexibility for accommodating product variety and diversity. The solution collects critical data electronically and provides comprehensive functionalities that can be used immediately, including electronic collection and documentation of all production data. This enables concurrent release based on deviations (review by exception), integration that combines automation with production IT (ERP level), leading to processes that are more agile as well as a reduced implementation effort and risks.
