Recipe for production agility
21 May 2014
Rockwell’s PharmaSuite v5.2 system includes improved agility and production control, as well as native integration with FactoryTalk Historian software and the OSIsoft PI System to help pharmaceutical and biotech companies optimise production, improve reporting and shorten development time.

The PharmaSuite v5.2 system decreases the time required to produce, review and release each batch, and speeds processes across production areas or individual lines for more efficient recipe execution,” says Martin Dittmer, PharmaSuite product manager, Rockwell Automation.
Improved agility and production control means recipe elements can be executed in parallel by multiple shop floor operators. On the production line, recipe tasks can be freely moved between electronic batch recording stations or can be fixed to a specific station by recipe design.
