Lean paperless manufacturing solution
Version 6.1 of the Siemens Simatic IT eBR software is at the heart
of its Manufacturing Operation Management for the life science
industries.The new version of the software enables users to easily
implement paperless manufacturing solutions by offering two main
features: A new web-based MBR (Master Batch Record) module
which facilitates the management of key process parameters, and
native integration with the Siemens automation layer (Simatic PCS 7
process control system and HMI systems).The new version reduces
the work involved in engineering and operation, helps users to en-
force standardisation and makes for a more transparent production
process, so shortening the time-to-market.
Product quality and safety are the top priorities for the life
science industries, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. At
the same time, many companies need to cut costs and increase
innovation.
Siemens
offers a paperless manufacturing solution for
enhancing both efficiency and product quality, while at the same
time bringing down risk and costs. Fully integrated communication
is established between the automation level and manufacturing IT.
This enables complete electronic recording and documentation of
quality-related production data, while eliminating time-consuming
manual procedures and paper-based batch reports. Simatic IT eBR
6.1 facilitates the implementation of the paperless manufacturing.
With a new Master Batch Record module and a ‘Project Startup’
package, it provides a list of out-of-the-box deliverables to speed up
project execution time. In addition, it offers native integration with
Siemens PCS 7 Batch and new access to electronic work instruction
lists embedded in SCADA/HMI clients. By accelerating the design,
execution, review and release of regulated production processes and
electronic batch records (EBRs), Simatic IT eBR helps both enhance
product quality and lower production costs.
Simatic IT eBR 6.1 is based on the engine of the former XFP
product developed by Elan Software Systems and acquired by
Siemens in 2009. It combines 30 years of proven experience in the
pharmaceutical industry and native integration with the rest of the
Siemens portfolio for regulated and non-regulated industries.
