Configure and control your production lines reliably and holistically with the Line Optimizer

Smooth connectivity between your machines and to other systems is a precondition for reliable and secure pharmaceutical production. Line Optimizer from Körber enables you to set standards, shape and control quality-related processes, and optimize the effectiveness of your production line.

Configure and control your machines or your entire pharmaceutical production line via a single centralized solution — Line Optimizer from Körber provides you with a standard interface for your machines and components. You can use it for complete production locations or throughout the entire company. This makes operations efficient and ensures the seamless integration of your production-related systems. We help you boost your product quality and reduce the cost and effort associated with new implementations, conversions, and maintenance.

    

The Line Optimizer covers a wide range of machines in pharmaceutical production, from filling to packaging and finishing. The solution is perfectly adapted to your specific customer requirements to ensure optimum performance.

Regulatory line changeovers or format changes are carried out efficiently and error-free thanks to guided processes, optionally supported by augmented reality. The Line Optimizer enables you to manage future implementations, such as the introduction of new production software, with ease.

Modular and scalable for every production need

Unlock your production line’s potential with Körber’s Line Optimizer. Our range of helpful modules is designed to enhance efficiency, reliability, and quality in your manufacturing processes. Discover how these solutions work together to streamline operations and drive performance improvements across your production line. Dive into the details of each module below to discover how they can transform your production line and unlock new levels of operational excellence.


Connect is a powerful module within the Line Optimizer Suite that ensures seamless communication across your production line, regardless of the machine supplier.

By utilizing industry-standard protocols like OPC-UA and ISA TR 88, Connect enables efficient data exchange between machines and MES systems without requiring a Human-Machine Interface (HMI). With PackML as the common language, Connect significantly reduces configuration efforts by up to 70%, simplifies data maintenance and streamlining integration.

Whether it’s managing batch information or synchronizing equipment and workflows, Connect ensures reliable, supplier-independent connectivity, translating and transmitting data effortlessly between machines and higher-level systems.


Manage is an advanced line management system that centralizes control and visualization across your entire production line.

Building on the Connect module, Manage allows operators to oversee and control all machines from a single Human-Machine Interface (HMI). It provides real-time insights into machine status, alarms, and key performance indicators (KPIs), streamlining operations and reducing downtime by up to 20%.

The module also simplifies batch management, enabling operators to monitor and manage batches, generate comprehensive reports, and track Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

With integration capabilities for MES and compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, Manage ensures efficient and compliant production with centralized documentation and audit trails.


Execute is a cutting-edge module designed to enhance operational efficiency by guiding operators through digital workflows on the shop floor.

Accessible via any browser-compatible device or through augmented reality on Microsoft HoloLens© 2, Execute offers step-by-step instructions with images and videos, ensuring consistent execution of SOPs.

This module automates documentation of all process steps, automatically capturing snapshots, comments, and activities for comprehensive GMP documentation.

By streamlining operations, Execute helps reduce deviations and speeds up the onboarding process for new personnel by up to 50%.

With features like full Line Batch Reports and production overviews, Execute simplifies regulatory compliance and enhances operational efficiency.


Detect is an AI-powered module designed to optimize quality control and streamline line clearance processes by up to 30%.

Using advanced object recognition, Detect leverages a combination of stationary and mounted cameras to monitor and inspect predefined areas of your production line. The system ensures accuracy by using markers like QR codes to confirm correct inspection areas, while masking non-relevant zones for GDPR compliance.

Detect automatically identifies and documents faults through images and generates line clearance reports, providing fast and secure deviation rectification.

With seamless integration capabilities, Detect is a versatile, supplier-independent solution for comprehensive line observation and quality assurance.


Design is a user-friendly, no-code tool that empowers process owners and integrators to digitally model and configure workflows and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

As the perfect add-on to the other Line Optimizer modules, Design allows for easy drag-and-drop creation of process flows, which can be exported for execution by operators on the shop floor or within a digital twin environment.

The module also supports the digital replication of shop floor hierarchies (ISA 95/88) and the configuration of the PackML interface protocol, enabling seamless communication between machines and the Line Optimizer for complete line workflow execution.


Analytics is designed to optimize machine performance by continuously monitoring process-relevant data.

It offers clear, intuitive visualization of both long-term trends and short-term anomalies, allowing for early detection of system changes such as component wear, preventing machine part failures and minimizing unplanned downtime.

By leveraging Körber’s expertise in data analysis, Analytics provides detailed reporting on potential system instabilities, supporting to prevent machine part failures and avoid unplanned downtime.

Transform your production line with expert guidance

Navigating digital transformation can be challenging—let our experts simplify the process. Whether you’re uncertain about which Line Optimizer modules to implement or need tailored advice for your production line, our teams are ready to assist - ensuring a seamless integration of the right solutions for enhanced efficiency and reliability.
