AstraZeneca introduces Packaging Control with Werums Manufacturing ExecutionSystem PAS-X
With its introduction of PAS-X, AstraZeneca adds a packaging monitoring and control station for operating data acquisition to its internal IT infrastructure. This control station assembles all packaging-related data - acquired either manually or automatically - giving the control station operator a current overview over the status of all lines and machines. At the same time, the data collected are fed into the KPI-based reporting system.
The PAS-X software modules PAS-LINE and PAS-KPI will be at the focus of the implementation. PAS-LINE is a flexible line monitoring system that provides an extensive array of features for process monitoring and process data acquisition. Being able to interface with the packaging lines and machines is a standard feature of PAS-LINE. PAS-KPI evaluates the operating data according to individually defined and weighted criteria and generates sound and significant indicators. Typical mission-critical quantities in packaging are cycle times, performance values, and utilization levels, but also downtimes and their causes. By installing PAS-LINE and PAS-KPI, AstraZeneca Deutschland Operations implements another tool to improve competitiveness and expand operational efficiency, major objectives defined in the company's IS/IT strategy.
