Fujirebio Diagnostics Implements Paperless Electronic Initiative for its Biomarker Manufacturing

Fujirebio implemented AVEVA's System Platform, Workflow Management, Historian, and InTouch HMI to replace its existing paper-based system. The solution, called the Electronic Initiative and the first phase of the implementation is called the Equipment Monitoring System (EMS), allows personnel to monitor equipment from their workstations, maintains all temperature readings in electronic records, notifies authorised personnel in the event of adverse temperature trends, generates electronic Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) reports for review by exception, and provides authorised personnel electronic signature capabilities to approve reports. The EMS system at Fujirebio performs a number of very important functions. Workflow Management is at the heart of Fujirebio’s EMS. What Workflow Management does is digitise and automate Fujirebio’s manual processes that include people, equipment and systems, based on a sophisticated Business Process Management (BPM) foundation standard. This enables staff to generate electronic records and file them automatically.
