What Körber PAS-X MES is
Körber PAS-X MES digitalizes and coordinates production for pharmaceutical, biotech, and cell and gene therapy operations. Körber describes it as suited to large, highly integrated manufacturing environments. Electronic Batch Recording guides production through digital batch records and supports recipe definition and execution. Teams can build recipes with a graphical drag-and-drop tool using reusable standardized blocks, without programming. Automated equipment logbooks and status monitoring help ensure authorized, cleaned equipment is used on the shop floor. The system supports GxP-compliant production, with validated electronic documentation addressing FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11. Audit trail records are protected against deletion or editing. Integration options include OPC-UA-compatible shop-floor interfaces, preconfigured SAP ERP interfaces, and open APIs for LIMS, WMS, and serialization systems. Deployment is available on-premise, in a private cloud, or as fully managed SaaS. PAS-X MES 3.4.2 adds cell and gene therapy workflows covering Chain of Identity, Chain of Custody, material traceability, and mobile photo documentation. The paid product's price is available on request.
