  • Improving Raw Material Management Productivity

    Jim Cahill
    For manufacturers in highly-regulated industries, such as pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, it is critical to keep track of raw materials as part of the production records. To minimize or avoid waste, it’s also important to use the first-to-expire raw materials from inventory. I caught up with Emerson’s Lynn Richard about his experiences to help a manufacturer solve this challenge and increase overall…

  • Challenge of Designing PCS-Driven MES Architectures for a Greenfield Facility

    Jim Cahill
    Author: Jonathan Lustri I have previously written about a design strategy where the process control system (PCS) is the primary system driving all procedural batch activity within a pharmaceutical process. In this architecture, the PCS ISA-88 procedural model must execute the both automated procedures and call the manufacturing execution system (MES) workflows to be executed when they are needed by the process. The…

  • Best Practices Specifying MES Workflows for Life Sciences Projects

    Jim Cahill
    Author: Jonathan Lustri Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Life Sciences projects can be costly and be a challenge to keep in control. The biggest contributor to these challenges are the defining and design of manufacturing workflows. A Workflow is an MES procedural object used to replace the paper batch record. And for greenfield projects in particular, this can be a challenge. In order to define best practices…

  • Integrating Single Use Equipment More Easily with Control and Manufacturing Execution Systems

    Jim Cahill
    One of the trends in the biopharmaceutical industries that have taken root over the past decade and a half is the use of single-use, disposable equipment in the manufacturing process. Prior to their use, these facilities relied on inflexible, hard-piped equipment. An American Pharmaceutical Review article highlights the benefits of single-use equipment: Single-use disposable devices and systems have reduced overall…
