METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT USING A MES

摘要

A method produces a pharmaceutical product using a manufacture execution system (MES), and an automation system, such as a batch system. The automation system is configured to drive and to monitor production machines located at a plant floor level. The method is characterized in that it communicatively couples the MES with the automation system, it receives at the MES from the automation system at least one event representative of a situation that has occurred at the plant floor level and relative to the machines, and it depends on the event received at the MES starting at least one workflow controlled by the MES.

1. A method of producing a pharmaceutical product using a manufacturing executing system (MES) and an automation system, the automation system configured to drive and to monitor production machines disposed at a plant floor level, which method comprises the steps of:
communicatively coupling the MES with the automation system and at least a main workflow being started in the MES; receiving at the MES from the automation system at least one event representative of a situation that has occurred at the plant floor level and relative to the production machines; and starting at least one event workflow controlled by the MES as a sub-workflow of the main workflow in dependence on the event received at the MES.
