WEIGHING & DISPENSING
The PAS-X Business Function for Weighing and Dispensing
Weighing and Dispensing
 enlarge
The precise weighing and dispensing of input materials based on recipe specifications is at the core of any pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Accurate data collection within this first processing step is fundamental to batch tracking and documentation. In a reliable and "easy-to-operate" way, the weighing and dispensing system guides the user through the weighing process and provides the necessary support for compliance with safety regulations and recipes.

WEIGHING & DISPENSING

  • Guides the operator through the entire weighing process with user-friendly electronic work instructions on the screen
  • Controls any kind of weighing operation including manual and automated weighing, dispensing and filling processes - and thus increases the quality of the weighing process
  • Enables automatic campaign building and execution
  • Generates complete labels according to customer-specific parameters
  • Carries out plausibility checks on materials, containers and scales through barcode identification
  • Monitors and supports the calibration of scales
  • Supports the interfaces of all commercially available scale manufacturers
  • Documents and archives data in accordance with GxP/FDA regulations for electronic records and electronic signatures (21 CFR Part 11 compliant)
  • Generates weighing reports and
  • Maintains audit trails.

Manual Weighing

Workflows for material and container identification are defined within the weighing instructions and can easily be adjusted to individual business processes simply by changing parameters.

The use of mobile radio terminals for weighing procedures ensures a high level of operator mobility. Operators can make use of wireless barcode scan features to work in parallel at several work centers following "easy-to-operate" dialog instructions. WEIGHING & DISPENSING ensures that all workflows are carried out accurately and correctly, and it prevents the kind of mix-ups and errors common to manual data entries.
Automated Weighing and Dispensing Functions

WEIGHING & DISPENSING supports automated dispensing and filling systems, and provides standardized interfaces to PLC systems and dispensing control systems. Interfaced with the ERP system the system administers bills of material and recipe parameters. These order-based data are processed, documented and logged at all weighing stations. Werum's longstanding expertise in the integration of automated systems ensures successful equipment integration for all the different types of system components, even within explosion-proof areas.
Material Identification
WEIGHING & DISPENSING ensures that the specified input materials are actually used and controls the reading and identifying of barcode labels and transponders within the scope of automated or manual operations. WEIGHING & DISPENSING then checks the data against the specifications in the shop floor order.
