You might think you have a complete electronic batch record (EBR) system, but how do you know if it is truly complete? If you have paper documentation making its way into the process, or if you manually transfer data from one system to another, you do not have a complete EBR and are leaving yourself open to risk.  

 At every stage of manufacturing, whether production planning, manufacturing execution, quality control and quality assurance, or data management and analytics, your systems should be completely integrated, paperless, and exchange data without human error. If they aren’t, you are wasting precious time and resources.  

 A partially complete EBR system can only provide partial benefits, still leaving you open to the risks of poor data integrity, lack of visibility, inability to search for information, and incomplete datasets when it comes to decision-making. This session will illustrate the difference between a partial EBR and a fully connected EBR solution that enables smarter, faster manufacturing with immediate performance gains at every step. The best part, these solutions work for high-mix, low-volume lines, where traditional systems can be cost-prohibitive.  

This session will address:

• How to identify a complete EBR system

• Partially digital and disconnected systems are not efficient and increase risk

• Fully digitized batch records enable smarter, faster manufacturing so manufacturers can make immediate performance gains at every step

• Today’s technology is configurable to a variety of manufacturing scenarios
