Rockwell Automation Releases FactoryTalk Pharma Suite 2.1 Software

Rockwell Automation announced on August 24 that they have released FactoryTalk Pharma Suite 2.1 software. FactoryTalk Pharma Suite applications now incorporate electronic batch recording (EBR) capabilities, and are tailored to the needs of pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers. The new release continues the tradition of innovations that set Pharma Suite apart, and extends its capabilities in supporting a true “review-by-exception” methodology.

With Pharma Suite 2.1 exceptions during batch recording can be reviewed and addressed in real-time, not after the fact, as is typical for paper-based or “paper-on-glass” workflows. The exception handling during the EBR execution occurs during the manufacturing process, allowing the operator on the shop floor to address exceptions as the manufacturing rules are enforced in real-time. This reduces wasted time, money and materials. New usability capabilities also allow quality personnel to start investigating process deviations as they occur on the shop floor, rather than wait for batch completion. Collected exceptions are the starting point for the batch review process. The online batch record review capability allows quality control personnel to more efficiently judge the documented deviations and to close out the review process more quickly and with fewer process deviations.
