||
Facing growing pressure from global competition, API manufacturers need to resolve complex chemistry or biotechnological challenges to offer advanced drugs and apply new technology for cost-effective and regulatory compliant processes.
Gain world-class API manufacturer recognition through differentiation
In order to be recognized as a reliable, innovative and competitive supplier of APIs, manufacturers need to:
- produce drugs at state-of-the-art cGMP manufacturing facilities, approved by regulatory authorities like FDA
- guarantee an uncompromising product quality
- ensure cost-effective production operations
- provide flexible solutions from process development, through pilot scale-up to full scale production
- improve customer delivery performance
XFP-MES: Robust, pre-validated solutions designed for API manufacturers
Allowing a large number of products and/or extensive volume of products to be manufactured, the XFP-MES suite provides advanced features enabling API manufacturers to:
- Accelerate time-to-market and improve productivity thanks to scalable and streamlined processes modelled according to XFP advanced OPM technology
- Guarantee cGMP compliance and build quality into the production process with directed process operations and automated pharmaceutical controls
- Reduce waste and costs with lower inventory levels, error removal and real time process visibility
- Provide the required documentation for regulatory purpose, customers’ audits and drug registration: audit trail, electronic batch record and graphical batch genealogy
Real time process management with end-to-end traceability
A real-time information system for cGMP manufacturing facilities, XFP-MES manages and secures any type of process while guaranteeing a full traceability of the operations performed.
Bridging the gap between lab and production
Seamlessly integrated with ERP, LIMS, SCADA, automation and other systems, XFP-MES orchestrates the overall production processes and connects lab and production activities. Easy to use and fast to deploy, the XFP-MES Suite provides advanced features that enable API manufacturers to accelerate their process development and their operation executions. Their time-to-market is therefore dramatically reduced.
A partner for continuous improvement strategies
Modular, flexible and scalable, the XFP-MES Suite provides API manufacturers with continuous improvement capabilities. Their responsiveness to market is enhanced while processes are kept robust, safe and compliant.
