Fast and compliant batch changeovers with batch data directly from MES

We know that the requirements for traceability, documentation and patient safety are high when producing pharmaceuticals.
At the same time, there is growing pressure on production efficiency – ensuring that new products can reach the market faster while avoiding shortages of essential medicines.

At LSS, we build compliance into our solutions from the very beginning. Our systems are designed to be operator-friendly, intuitive and optimised for maximum uptime.
A key element in achieving this is the automatic import of batch data directly from MES – a solution that both increases efficiency and strengthens quality assurance.

 

1. Elimination of Manual Errors

Manual entry of batch numbers, product IDs or recipe data always carries a risk of input errors.
When data is transferred directly from MES, this risk is completely eliminated. The system ensures that the correct batch and product variant are processed on the line.
The result: higher quality, fewer deviations and less waste.

 

2. Faster and Safer Batch Changeovers

When batch data is transferred digitally, the line can automatically:
• load the correct parameters and recipe data,
• adjust formats and vision inspection settings, and
• guide the operator step by step through the physical changeover.

This makes changeovers faster, more consistent, and less dependent on individual operator experience.

🎥 The video demonstrates batch start-up and how easily format parts can be changed – completely tool-free. Simple, safe, and fast.

 

3. Fully Traceable Flow from Order to Finished Product

When MES delivers batch data to the machine, all process data and production parameters are automatically linked to the specific batch.
This ensures complete data integrity and traceability – fully aligned with GxP requirements and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
Any changes or errors can be traced directly back to their source, strengthening the quality management system and simplifying audit processes.

 

 

4. Improved Utilisation of Equipment and Resources

Automated batch handling significantly reduces changeover times.
The production line can therefore run more batches per day – without compromising validation or documentation.
This frees up capacity, increases equipment OEE, and shortens time-to-market, particularly for small batch sizes and frequent product changes.
🎥 The video also shows automatic machine emptying at batch stop, export of audit trails, alarm and event logs, and generation of batch reports.

 

 

5. Ready for the Digital Production of the Future

Integration between MES and production equipment is a key component of the Pharma 4.0 strategy.
By establishing a digital data flow between systems and equipment, you create the foundation for real-time monitoring, automated OEE analysis and continuous process optimisation.
This is a vital step towards a more intelligent, transparent and sustainable production environment.
