Flexible manufacturing is essential for the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. The key requirements in these sectors undoubtedly include greater standardisation and optimisation of manufacturing processes, as well as compliance with international obligations and regulations in accordance with GMP standards.

Our extensive experience in these industries is based on the design and implementation of integrated, intelligent MES solutions and industrial automation systems. In addition, our process control systems provide a proven solution for integrated process automation, including MES functionality. Our GMP-compliant solutions meet international regulatory requirements, including FDA regulations, 21 CFR Part 11, electronic records and electronic signatures.

Our process control systems provide a consistent software architecture at both the automated process control system and MES levels. Whether you are planning to automate a new production facility or modernise an existing one, we are ready to offer the most suitable solutions for your requirements.

Areas of Application in the Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Industries

Our process control systems provide a consistent software architecture at both the automated process control system and MES levels. Whether you are planning to automate a new production facility or modernise an existing one, we are ready to offer the most suitable solutions.

We provide solutions for the following production areas:

Raw Material Receiving

Material flow management, warehouse management and logistics

Laboratory

Process-oriented experimental procedures

Packaging

Packaging management, Overall Equipment Effectiveness management (OEE) and production data management

Utility Systems
