The Evolution of MES: Why Honeywell’s New Manufacturing Excellence Platform Is a True Game-Changer for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing October 13, 2024 The Manufacturing Excellence Platform takes the concept of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to a whole new, level. (Yes, it is that amazing!) Since the launch of Honeywell’s Manufacturing Excellence Platform in October, we’ve enjoyed reading positive comments from customers and colleagues across life sciences manufacturing. A platform that combines MES, SCADA, and Historian capabilities in a single platform with integration capabilities for other systems represents a unique offering. We’ve also received voice of the customer feedback, saying that “Finding a single vendor that can provide full integration of DCS/MES/QMS has been our holy grail.” Customers, analysts, and colleagues have asked what it is that excites us most about the platform. Here are some key differentiators that make it evolutionary. MES/SCADA/Historian in one platform + interoperability with ERP, DCS, QMS, and other systems The Manufacturing Excellence Platform takes the concept of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to a whole new, level. (Yes, it is that amazing!) The platform includes modules for batch digitization, orchestration, and execution, real-time context & visualization, digital work instructions, reporting, real-time and historical analysis. It incorporates proven MES, SCADA, and Historian technologies from Honeywell that enable storage and access to all the data related to production for continuous improvement. It streamlines production execution and paperless batch reporting and supports regulatory compliance with standards such as 21 CFR Part 11. Dashboards for multiple user roles from operators to management provide unprecedented visibility into the production process to identify opportunities for process, efficiency, quality, and compliance improvements. These improvements can provide significant opportunities for risk mitigation, cost reductions, and revenue. Interoperability with ERP, DCS, QMS, and other systems allows this modular platform to provide an overlay on existing IT/OT infrastructure in the most value-added way, at the stage of digital maturity where the customer wants to start their digital transformation journey. This combination of proven MES, SCADA, and Historian technologies along with interoperability with the customers IT/OT infrastructure constitutes a powerful unified data platform unique in batch manufacturing.Learn how our Honeywell Manufacturing Excellence Platform can help you.
