Lean KPI software product dedicated solely to pharma and biotech industries / Real-time monitoring of KPIs such as OEE / Seamless integration of ERP and equipment level / Cross-plant comparisons of performance data

Werum IT Solutions has released a standalone version of its PAS-X KPI software product. PAS-X KPI is the only KPI/OEE tool dedicated solely to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. It is capable of seamlessly integrating data both from the ERP level and the machine level at the shop floor.

By allowing comparisons and evaluations of operating data at production lines in different facilities, it provides an enterprise-wide, single source point of data.

“Providing significantly improved transparency on the shop floor, PAS-X KPI helps plant managers take expedient, appropriate measures to maximise production performance – all without any additional machines or operators,” says Matthias Köhler, Senior Head of Strategic Program Management, Werum IT Solutions GmbH.

“The new PAS-X KPI is easy to deploy because it is a standalone product independent from our PAS-X MES,” adds Lars Hornung, Senior Director Global Sales, Werum IT Solutions GmbH. “Very interesting for many of our customers is that we offer a trial ‘proof of concept’ installation: Pharma and biotech manufacturers can test PAS-X KPI in their own production environment for a stated term.”

Werum’s KPI/OEE tool is browser-based and supports multiple delivery methods, including site installation and enterprise cloud. It offers the option to scale up MES functionality easily, e.g. Electronic Batch Recording (EBR).

PAS-X KPI automatically collects process data related to Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in real time. Results are displayed on various monitors in easily understandable terms to enable quick decision making.

Operators and supervisors can continuously view the up-to-date status of their lines, including production goals and target achievements. Plant managers benefit from standardised reports with aggregated operating figures for analyses in larger contexts.
