While Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions aim to support company-wide collaboration with a focus on office-based functions (finance, procurement, HR, supply chain, etc.), MES solutions allow planning and control of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical factory shop floor operations. They introduce electronic batch recording to the pharmaceutical production while taking care of batch execution and GMP-compliant documentation of every process step.

They help pharma manufacturers create flawless manufacturing processes, reduce risks, time, costs and effort, and increase process efficiency and product quality.

Finding the right Pharma MES supplier

With the right MES, pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers can reduce time, efforts and risks and finally save costs – provided that the system meets the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry in terms of functions, usability and compliance.
