MES for Industry 4.0

Weigh and Dispense

Precise ingredients are the backbone of safe and consistent recipe-based products, including combination Medical Devices. Weigh and dispense supports manufacturers in complying with strict FDA, EU or other regulations to ensure the safety of products for good patient outcomes. The regulations require that manufacturers have complete traceability of both the discrete device and the corresponding batch components pertaining to the drug, coating, or active ingredients in a finished device.

Critical Manufacturing MES V7 introduces a new Weigh and Dispense module to help manufacturers accurately and safely control and track active ingredients with specific recipes and manufacturing procedures. The weigh and dispense process is the core of the electronic Batch Record (eBR).		Critical Manufacturing MES Weigh and Dispense allows process/formulation engineers to set up processes. These then precisely guide the dispensing operators, using the correct recipe requirements for complete and strict adherence with safety regulations. The module tightly controls all weighing operations.
