PAS-X Equipment Management: Easy administration and monitoring of cleaning procedures and statuses

The proper use of the equipment and its statuses (e.g., cleaned, and sanitized) is critical for any pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Accurate data collection of equipment-related activities is fundamental to batch tracking, documentation, and equipment logbook maintenance. Werum PAS-X Equipment Management is a comprehensive set of licenses covering all equipment-related requirements in pharma and biotech.

PAS-X MES lets you create and manage equipment, providing intuitive and easy-to-use dialogs which offer full life cycle control of your equipment. Users can block or set equipment to effective by following pre-defined approval workflows which guarantee only authorized equipment is being used on the shop floor. Either new equipment or a new version of existing equipment can be generated. Since all equipment types and individual equipment items are version-controlled, it will allow the users to monitor changes of equipment, avoid mix-ups, and ensure correct version control.

Regulation of equipment statuses

Equipment statuses are based on state diagrams. Establishing state diagrams for equipment with numerous possible statuses or complex cleaning procedures can be quite complicated and time-consuming. In PAS-X MES, state diagrams can be created and edited for each equipment type in dedicated, user-friendly interfaces.

With the help of state diagrams, PAS-X Equipment Management automatically tracks and updates the equipment status in the equipment monitor dialogue. Here, an overview of all equipment runtime data (e.g., states, counters, or timers) is displayed in an easy-to-understand way. This will help the user to quickly find equipment that is usable for production or that needs to be cleaned and calibrated.
