More user-friendly with enhanced functionality for Pharma and Biotech applications

January 22, 2007 - TOWACO, NJ, — Werum Software & Systems America has launched new versions of its PAS-X PHARMA and PAS-X BIOTECH product lines. Designated PAS-X PHARMA V2.3 and PAS-X BIOTECH V2.2, the updated software suites include a number of improvements and attractive new features.

The user prompts for both PAS-X PHARMA V2.3 and PAS-X BIOTECH V2.2 have been further optimized, now providing new dialogs and an up-to-date user interface that promotes the use of work centers.

With the new PAS-X versions, users receive additional support in integrating and using mobile devices; in this way, PAS-X functions are also now available on pocket PC or PDA bases through the use of Windows Mobile 5.0 (operating system Windows CE.NET).

Both the product lines migrate to database Oracle 10g, which offers ample enhancements as to scalability, and high levels of availability and administration. In addition, the fail safety of data bases has been further protected with the use of Real Application Cluster (RAC) and DataGuard.

For the application of various PAS-X components, Werum now provides a single sign-on function so that users have to authenticate only once to use all the functions of the product for which they are authorized. In addition opt the conventional method, card reader and biometric devices (such as fingerprints) can now be used. Employing these new technologies also makes it easier for several users to work in parallel at the same station.

A new PFU Package also offers a bundle of added functions. The extensions and improvements are “real-life” based, developed on the recommendations and suggestions provided by PAS-X users at Werum’s PAS-X User Forum. For example, the package includes a number of new features for the creation and maintenance of recipes (Master Batch Records Management) and the associated approval workflow.

The PAS-X standard package now also includes standard interfaces to analysis tools, offering comprehensive functionalities for the visualization, evaluation, and interpretation of process data. Among these are tools such as Discoverant by Aegis Analytical, SAP xMII (Lighthammer), and Qlik View by Qlik Tech. The 2.2 version of PAS-X BIOTECH now features a standard interface to SCADA systems on an OPC basis (OPC DA).
