The efficient, automated connection between production and business management

sam.ware (sam = system automation multiconnector) is a manufacturing execution system (ManES) that connects ERP and process control systems. This paves the way for smooth logistic and technical communication without control console functionality. Hence, sam.ware closes the gaps that currently exist between production processes and business management.

sam.ware is the ideal tool for companies that wish to improve production workflows through automated integration into the ERP system. sam.ware also eliminates double data maintenance and input errors and provides complex analyses, reports and lists for the entire data stock in a transparent manner thus facilitating the clarification of important questions.

The highlights:

• full automation between ERP (SAP) and process control / laboratory system: control and processing of production orders with up-to-date result and consumption booking through online data recording in realtime even during the production process
• enhanced performance through efficient, precise handling of production: e.g. automatic transfer of bookings relating to production orders via sam.ware to the ERP system, reduction of errors at the process interfaces, reduction in manual data acquisition and evaluation in paper form
• improved quality and lower capital requirements: systemized, freely configurable data for quality control, incl. all in-process and final inspections thus leading to lower spoilage rates in the production process

• validation: automatic, FDA/GMP-conform documentation of production process, validation of sam.ware system
• weighing system: the pharmaceutical production process is rounded off with a module for the integration of scales to facilitate the exact dosing of materials in accordance with recipes. This module also handles the necessary documentation (labels, weighing records).
