Lüneburg, Germany, 11 December 2025. — The natural medicine manufacturer Salus has successfully migrated to the new NextGen PAS-X MES at its headquarters in Bruckmühl and at its subsidiary Schoenenberger in Magstadt. Körber's PAS-X MES ensures precise, recipe-driven digital weighing and dispensing for the production of medicinal teas, tonics, cosmetics, and spices.

Since 2018, Salus had been using a customized version of PAS-X MES. As the underlying third-party infrastructure and technology components were approaching obsolescence, requiring high maintenance costs and losing access to security updates, the complete PAS-X installation needed to be replaced. The NTS Apollo ERP system had to be integrated, as did a level-2 interface to the automation level.

“To minimize risks and ensure the continuity of our production, we decided to migrate to the new NextGen PAS-X MES,” says Florian Müller, Project Manager at Salus. “Together with Körber, we formed a cross-functional team of internal specialists, Körber’s migration and ERP experts, and Kubernetes service provider SVA to guarantee a smooth implementation.”

Körber supports PAS-X migration projects with a structured migration approach, expert services and smart automation tools that reduce complexity, accelerate timelines and ensure compliance throughout the project.

By adopting a fully standardized PAS-X MES system, Salus has significantly reduced maintenance costs while increasing system flexibility. The IT infrastructure is now state-of-the-art, offering maximum cyber security. The ERP system is fully integrated with the MES through a dedicated interface.

In the next phase, additional level-2 interfaces will be implemented to connect further systems, ensuring seamless data exchange with PAS-X MES and supporting continued digitalization of Salus’ production processes.
