The Life Sciences industry is rapidly evolving toward the digital factory of the future, where seamless interoperability between systems, equipment, and devices is essential. Critical to this evolution is the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems—allowing real-time data flow across the entire manufacturing ecosystem.
Through this partnership, HighByte Intelligence Hub and PAS-X MES now natively connect using the PAS-X MSI Plug & Produce interface, a pre-validated, out-of-the-box standard. This seamless integration eliminates complex custom coding, reduces deployment timelines, and ensures reliable data exchange between systems, setting the foundation for advanced analytics, process optimization, and enhanced regulatory compliance.
“Life science manufacturers face unique regulatory and digital challenges – from lack of data standardization to siloed laboratory, maintenance, and supply chain data. These constraints create an agility paradox. While processes need to be closely controlled, analytics requires a real-time, iterative approach,” says John Harrington, Chief Product Officer at HighByte. “This is why the seamless integration between PAS-X MES and HighByte Intelligence Hub is so powerful. The collaboration demonstrates our commitment to providing a best-in-class integrated solution for our mutual customers and the life sciences market.”
“We are committed to delivering robust and flexible solutions that enhance pharmaceutical manufacturing processes,” explains Lars Hornung, Senior Principal Alliances & Technology Partners Software at Körber Business Area Pharma. “HighByte’s technology complements this vision by simplifying the integration of MES with data applications and automation sources through standard interfaces. Together, we help manufacturers streamline their digital initiatives, making real-time data a cornerstone of smarter, more flexible production environments.”
