“Our customers gain a powerful cloud- and AI-driven platform that modernizes the shopfloor and makes processes faster, more flexible, and more efficient. This release lays the foundation for sustainable competitiveness in a highly regulated environment – today and in the future."
A big feature is the NGS (NextGen Shopfloor) execution, which already covers equipment-related activities such as Order Execution and Batch Record Review, with plans to address all shopfloor activities in the future. Operators can engage seamlessly from available tablets, handhelds, terminals, and desktops through an ability to enhance, user-friendly interface.
A new Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) interface has also been rolled out through effective MES-SAP WMS integration that can reduce user reconciliation by 15%. Moreover, to enhance reliability, PAS-X MES 3.4 includes service scalability with high availability through failover and built-in observability tooling for real-time performance monitoring. The containerized, CI/CD driven deployment will help keep PAS-X refreshed and maintainable more quickly and efficiently.
KÖRBER employs approximately 13,000 employees over 100 locations, and continues to develop solutions in pharmaceutical, supply chain, and digital technologies to help manufacturers be competitive today and prepared for tomorrow.
