Manufacturing Execution SystemPAS-X MES for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Werum PAS-X MES (hereinafter referred to as PAS-X) is a manufacturing execution system specialized for the pharmaceutical industry provided by Kerber Pharma, Germany.
PAS-X covers all major lifecycle stages in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, from process development to product manufacturing and packaging. We support all major segments of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, including vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, solid formulations, and liquid formulations.
As an authorized PAS-X service partner, B-EN-G supports the implementation of PAS-X.
Overview
Many pharmaceutical manufacturers are facing a dilemma because they are unable to transition from paper forms to electronic forms at the manufacturing site due to concerns about dealing with audit trails and other requirements.
In this context, PAS-X has been developed in compliance with legal requirements such as FDA 21 CFR Part 211 and Part 11, EU GMP and GAMP 5 guidelines, and is therefore recognized by the top 30 pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world. In addition to over half of the companies in Japan, it is also used by many small and medium-sized pharmaceutical manufacturers.
By introducing PAS-X and changing from paper-based to electronic operations, efficiency and compliance will improve.

Implementation Case Study
Sakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Japan's only specialized glycerin manufacturer, has a new plant at its Senboku factory, which is a core manufacturing site for PAS-X external interface standardization 'Plug and Produce' and a handling solution point for B-EN-G. PAS-X was selected for the "2nd RG facility" which has a production capacity of 20,000 tons. We have strengthened compliance and gone paperless in pharmaceutical manufacturing. During the implementation process, B-EN-G also supported CSV (computer system validation).
