Accelerate Production Without Sacrificing Flexibility and Quality

May 6, 2024

By Alberto Rossi, Product Marketing Manager​, Rockwell Automation

Pharmaceutical and biopharma companies looking to improve quality and compliance need modern, digital solutions that can evolve with their needs. The goal is a solution that provides greater visibility and real-time insight that can help improve quality and compliance.

This is especially true for companies that must properly handle thermo-sensitive material. Those that rely on cumbersome, error-prone paper tracking systems are at a disadvantage.

Speed Up Production

Increasing the rate of production while staying compliant requires real-time production data using digitized compliance procedures. Picking the right manufacturing execution system (MES) can drastically decrease human errors with digitized processes during production and lower the cost of maintaining quality by reducing the margin for errors with real-time review by exception.

The Answer: Cold Chain Tracking

With Cold Chain Tracking, part of an MES solution developed specifically for the Life Sciences industry, firms can ensure that their thermo-sensitive materials are handled correctly, which means less wasted product and ingredients. Operators will be notified of materials that are approaching their “End of Life” date, before their expiration, which ensures the quality of the product.

With Cold Chain Tracking, operators automatically can:

  • 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.

Simplify Cold Chain Tracking

An MES like FactoryTalk PharmaSuite makes Cold Chain Tracking simple by automating the tracking and notifications to properly care for materials to ensure quality. This MES helps improve quality at every step—and get products to patients faster.

Sharing information among processes, facilities, business systems and suppliers can improve quality enforcement and simplify compliance, maximize yield, and increase profit margins, and help you more quickly adapt to market changes. FactoryTalk PharmaSuite is proven to reduce production costs by as much as 18%, improve first pass quality by up to 12% and improve yield while minimizing losses by up to 10%.

Find out how the right MES can connect all processes across locations, enabling data-driven operations, improved productivity, and improved profitability. Register now for the webinar, Cold Chain Tracking with FactoryTalk PharmaSuite.

Choose the Right Combination Motor Controller Type for Your Next Panel

Of all the pieces of equipment in a production or process facility, the electric motor is the most fundamental and is probably the most critical. Nothing gets made or moved without a motor. So, it’s only logical that plant operations personnel must maintain the safety of those motors. Panel builders provide that protection via a number of protection and control systems.

Most companies take advantage of economies of scale by producing a larger number of goods to gain proportionate saving in costs. However, it is not always the case that the more goods that are produced, the less each unit costs. Nowadays, most companies have reached the optimum point of economies of scale and that the cost for additional units is increasing.
