Track-and-trace system supports production
Manufacturers of medical devices often use both discrete and batch manufacturing and assembly processes in their operations. The PharmaSuite V7.0 manufacturing execution system (MES) software provides a sole track-and-trace platform, enabling tracking capabilities down to the smallest saleable unit, says its maker, including medical devices that are combined or coated with a pharmaceutical ingredient during production. The ability to combine track-and-trace capabilities for both discrete and batch processes reduces the need for disparate systems and improves overall agility, says the company. Order-management, electronic device history record (eDHR) support, rework and repair capabilities and quality-assurance tools are built in. — Rockwell Automation, Milwaukee, Wisc.
