recipe, star t machine. To increase digital maturity, a manufacturer must increase a plant’s communication. To solve this, plants have
historically used manufacturing execution systems (MESs). However, being an expensive and longwinded process, it’s not commonly used in the pharmaceutical sector. Instead, manufacturers should choose a flexible approach to connectivity. Star ting small and scaling up later.
Scalable digitaliSation Let us consider a theoretical pharmaceutical manufacturing facility as an example. Operating with isolated machinery means it can be expensive to comply to data integrity. As opposed to deploying a plant-wide MES, the plant manager could use a smaller management system to provide similar benefits in terms of control and efficiency and compliance. Following this approach, a line
execution system can offer an operator a single point of control for a complete manufacturing line
by simplifying new-batch setup and automating recipe management. What is more, by using an intelligent software platform to control these operations, like COPA-DATA’s zenon, this method can generate a line based user management, audit trail, data acquisition and repor ting. Once this method has been tried and tested, the plant can begin to scale up its use of this software to include more machinery and manufacturing lines. Before you know it, the plant is on its way to reaching level three DPMM. In an ideal world, deployed
software would provide a full and holistic view of the plant’s operation — full end-to-end value chain integration from suppliers to patients. However, in an environment where most pharmaceutical manufacturers are coasting at levels one and two of the DPMM, a scalable approach is more realistic.
