Bayer HealthCare Chooses Werum's PAS-X MES Software For Its Berkeley, California Location

Bayer HealthCare launches the implementation of Werum's PAS-X system for its biotech manufacturing processes at its Berkeley, California 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.

Werum America focuses on introducing pharmaceutical firms to PAS-X, Werum's ground-breaking MES software package. Due to its vast experience on more than 100 MES projects for the life science industries, state-of-the-art software architecture, renowned quality management systems, high-quality validation services, and competitive prices, Werum is ranked as the number one MES provider in the world wide pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical segments.
