New MES release streamlines pharma system management and speeds ROI.
Rockwell Automation, Inc. announced the launch of FactoryTalk PharmaSuite 12.00. The latest release of the manufacturing execution system (MES) is developed to meet the specific requirements of regulated pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. It aims to simplify system management, support faster deployments, and improve scalability.
As the industry aims to improve speed while maintaining compliance, BioPhorum has observed that many MES solutions are seen as costly, slow to deploy, and not adaptable enough for current operational needs. PharmaSuite 12.00 is designed to address these concerns by offering a more streamlined, configurable platform for regulated life sciences manufacturing.
The latest release introduces a modular architecture and new cloud-ready capabilities, providing manufacturers with increased agility to help meet rapidly evolving production demands. It also features enhanced cybersecurity to support the stringent compliance and data integrity standards required in regulated life sciences environments.
Key new features in FactoryTalk PharmaSuite 12.00 include:
