The pharmaceutical industry is a critical sector that requires high precision, strict regulations, and quality-focused production processes. In this context, a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) provides significant advantages to pharmaceutical companies by enabling digitalization and centralized control of production operations. Centra MES solution is a powerful digital transformation tool developed to meet the specific needs of the pharmaceutical industry.
Proactive Process Management with Production Planning
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, scheduling errors can lead to batch losses and licensing issues. The production planning module creates order-specific production plans, efficiently allocates resources, and optimizes production sequencing. This not only increases efficiency but also ensures compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) requirements.
Equipment Integration and Automation
Collecting direct data from devices and machines used in production is vital for traceability and accuracy. Thanks to the equipment integration feature, direct communication with pharmaceutical production machines can be established, and real-time data flow from SCADA, PLC, or IoT devices can be enabled. This minimizes human error and ensures that production processes work in sync with automation.
Data Collection and Processing
MES solutions collect data at every stage of production and process it in a centralized system. This ensures compliance with GMP criteria such as lot tracking, raw material traceability, and process validation. Real-time production data can be integrated with SAP or ERP systems to support high-level managerial decisions.
Job and Production Monitoring
In the pharmaceutical industry, quality must be ensured not only in the final product but throughout the entire process. The job and production monitoring module tracks every step in real time; generates batch records, logs production time, staff changes, and material flow. This transparency ensures critical lot-based traceability needed for audits.
Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is an effective metric for measuring both production efficiency and quality in pharmaceutical companies. Centra MES’s OEE module analyzes downtime, stoppage reasons, and production capacities to optimize equipment performance.
Reporting and Analytics Management
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it is important not only to produce but also to document production. Reporting and analytics tools generate real-time and historical data-aligned graphs, production logs, and quality reports. This enables quality departments and managers to make data-driven decisions.
Alarm and Alert Management
Critical thresholds being exceeded, temperature deviations, or equipment failures must be detected instantly during production. The alarm and alert management module instantly notifies of all such events. These notifications help ensure uninterrupted production and prevent errors before they occur.
Quality Management
In the pharmaceutical industry, quality is not only an outcome but also a process. The MES quality management module centrally manages sample analyses taken during production, records quality control results, and handles approval workflows. This ensures the level of quality assurance demanded by authorities such as FDA, EMA, and TİTCK.
Energy Management
Energy consumption is important for both cost and sustainability. The energy management module measures and analyzes energy use in production lines. This allows the identification of overconsuming equipment and enhances energy efficiency. It also contributes to eco-conscious production goals.
Digital Transformation with MES in the Pharmaceutical Industry
MES solutions not only allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to monitor production but also help them optimize processes, reduce error rates, and ensure full compliance with regulations. Automation and digitalization facilitate adherence to standards like GMP and simplify audit processes.
