Bayer HealthCare Chooses Werum's PAS-X MES Software
 |
Lueneburg, Germany, June 4, 2008 - Bayer HealthCare launches the implementation of Werum's PAS-X system for its biotech manufacturing processes at its Berkeley, California (USA) location.
In a first step, the Werum Manufacturing Execution System (MES) will be installed in media production. Bayer intends to roll out the MES, which primarily focuses on Electronic Batch Recording (EBR), for running all its manufacturing processes by 2009.
The functional scope of the MES goes far beyond a mere EBR system. The MES will also include applications for Master Batch Record Management (MBR), Weighing & Dispensing (WD), Deviation Management, and Material Tracking. The MES will be integrated with other existing systems, including the SAP system, a distributed control system (DCS), a laboratory information and management system (LIMS), and a document management system (DMS).
Bayer's Berkeley location manufactures the hemophilia medication Kogenate®, which is produced using genetic engineering techniques.
