This new partnership between Körber and Lisure focuses on simplifying the integration of Werum PAS-X MES (Manufacturing Execution System) with Lisure's advanced equipment. The goal is to jointly advance automation and informatization in several areas of the biopharmaceutical field: Pilot scale to large-scale commercial production, one-click production, continuous production, and single-use production.
The partnership firstly enables smooth integration of PAS-X MES to Lisure’s advanced Purification System and Buffer Preparing Center, including their Inline Conditioning Process Chromatography System (ICPC), Chromatography System, and Continuous Buffer Management System (CBMS). The innovative PAS-X MSI Plug & Produce interface from Körber plays a pivotal role in this scenario, as it facilitates the efficient integration of the two systems with a substantial reduction in configuration effort, which marks a significant step forward in automation and efficiency in biopharmaceutical production, benefiting biopharmaceutics and biotherapeutics customers.
ICPC systems, equipped with sophisticated sensors and controls, facilitate real-time monitoring and adjustment of critical parameters. This ensures consistent and reproducible results, significantly enhancing the efficiency and quality of bioprocessing operations. The integration with PAS-X MES streamlines workflows, reduces downtime, and optimizes resource utilization, resulting in superior bioprocessing outcomes.
CBMS automates the traditional labour-intensive process of buffer preparation, ensuring precise measurement and dispensing of components. This automation minimizes human error, enhances process robustness, and boosts GMP compliance. With the integration of PAS-X MES, CBMS offers on-demand buffer preparation, reducing storage needs and increasing productivity through real-time monitoring and traceability.
“The collaboration between Körber and Lisure exemplifies our commitment to providing innovative solutions together with our partners that create added value for our joint customers. By leveraging PAS-X MES and Lisure's cutting-edge technologies, biopharmaceutical manufacturers can achieve significant improvements in efficiency, consistency, and compliance,” explains Lars Hornung, Senior Principal Alliances & Technology Partners Software, Körber Business Area Pharma.
Sheng Zhou, Vice General Manager of Lisure adds: “We are delighted to partner with Körber and to be the first Chinese partner to be certified in this area . PAS-X MES stands for the market-leading IT system in the pharmaceutical and biotech areas. Together, we can ease the integration work at the shop floor, deliver more value to the customers and enable to achieve a Factory of Excellence.”
