By providing seamless integration of Körber’s PAS-X Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with AspenTech Inmation’s centralized Industrial Data Fabric customers can expedite the implementation of a manufacturing IT/OT architecture allowing full digitalization for maximum visibility and agility in manufacturing operations management.
As pharma and biotech manufacturers are going paperless in their production operations these days, they not only strive to digitalize the batch record but aim to integrate the manufacturing shop floor systems via interfaces into the MES from day one. Suppliers need to be prepared by offering agreed standard interfaces between systems to enable a swift and robust implementation. Körber and AspenTech have agreed on the PAS-X MSI Plug & Produce interface for this purpose and are ready to go with a standard out-of-the-box solution for the integration of PAS-X MES with AspenTech Inmation – on-premise as well as in the cloud. In projects the systems become interoperable a lot faster, and customers do not need to worry about a solid data and communication foundation anymore. Instead, they can focus on improving compliance and performance of their manufacturing operations by dashboarding, data analysis and even AI-driven use cases. Körber and AspenTech have already implemented this integrated solution with several customers.
Commenting on the longstanding collaboration with a functioning MSI interface in operation at various customers since 2020, Nina Schwalb, VP Inmation Industrial Data Fabric and Data Strategy at AspenTech, stated, “Achieving the status of a certified ‘PAS-X MSI Plug & Produce’ partner is a major milestone for AspenTech Inmation.”
“We are delighted to foster our collaboration with AspenTech Inmation and to give this further emphasis under the umbrella of our Körber PAS-X MSI Partner Ecosystem,” added Lars Hornung, Senior Principal Alliances & Technology Partner Software at Körber Business Area Pharma. “Industry organizations like ISPE highlight the importance of integrating MES, Historians, and equipment as the future of advanced manufacturing. Through this partnership, Körber and AspenTech Inmation are leading this industry evolution, enabling manufacturers to manage exceptions more effectively, ensure long-term compliance, and continuously enhance production outcomes while safeguarding data integrity.”
