Manufacturing applications for pharmaceutical industries
May 2004
SCADA/HMI
The Wonderware Strategic Integration Group (WSIG) now offers a set of applications combining Wonderware technology built on the ArchestrA software architecture and Microsoft Windows Server System products to assist with tracking and tracing operations for pharmaceutical and other government-regulated industries.
The WSIG applications are designed to improve manufacturing productivity, increase quality and reduce the cost of compliance in regulated industries. The solutions combine a variety of Wonderware and Microsoft applications. These include the Industrial Application Server built on the ArchestrA automation and information software architecture and Microsoft BizTalk 2004 for business and manufacturing systems integration.
"The need for comprehensive and effective tracking and tracing applications for regulated industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing has never been greater," says Mike le Plastrier, director of Futuristix Advanced Control Systems, a member of the EOH group of companies and principal SA distributor for the Wonderware range of industrial automation solutions. "With counterfeit drugs making their way into the worldwide pharmaceutical supply chain, people's lives are at risk unless manufacturers have an effective and reliable tracking and tracing method for their manufacturing processes. The WSIG offerings will have a significant impact on the ability of pharmaceutical companies to implement effective tracking and tracing applications, enabling safe medicines to be released to market."
