From paper & spreadsheets to a connected factory

Run a Smart Factory, from offline to online

Smart Factory replaces manual logbooks, paper batch records and disconnected spreadsheets with one cloud platform — so every material, batch, test and release is captured, automated and traceable in real time.

Cloud-based & hosted on AWS — with automated backup & disaster recovery.

The transformation

Retire the paper. Connect the floor.

Manual operations are slow, error-prone and impossible to audit. Smart Factory digitizes every step and links them into one live system of record.

Manual & offline
  • Paper batch records & handwritten logbooks
  • QC results trapped in spreadsheets and email
  • Wet-ink signatures and binders for audits
  • No real-time view of OEE, yield or bottlenecks
  • Recalls mean days of manual batch tracing
  • Compliance gaps discovered during inspections
Automated & online
  • Electronic Batch Records enforced step-by-step
  • QC tests auto-checked against specifications
  • Built-in 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures
  • Live dashboards for production, quality & OEE
  • Serial-level genealogy — recall impact in seconds
  • Always audit-ready with an immutable trail
Why Smart Factory

Everything connected, nothing on paper

Four ways the platform turns disconnected manual work into a single automated flow.

Centralized operations

Materials, production, quality and warehouse share one live database — no duplicate entry, no silos.

Digital traceability

Every unit, batch and pallet carries a GS1 serial with full forward & backward genealogy.

Proactive compliance

Deviations, CAPAs, training and e-signatures are enforced by the workflow, not chased after.

Real-time visibility

Operators, QA and managers see the same up-to-the-second status across every line and factory.

The platform

A complete, modular MES

Switch on the modules each factory needs. Every one is built for GMP and works together out of the box.

Production & EBR

Electronic batch records with enforced steps, in-line checks and QA sign-off.

Quality Control & QA

Sampling, testing against specs, Pass/Fail/Re-Test, and e-signed batch release.

Weigh & Dispense

Guided dispensing with scale integration, tolerance checks and reconciliation.

Serialization & Traceability

GS1 DataMatrix, aggregation, EPCIS events, verification and recall management.

Materials & Inventory

Receiving, quarantine, lifecycle states, barcoded batches and stock movements.

Equipment & Calibration

Asset registry, calibration schedules, maintenance and OEE analytics.

How it works

One digital thread, raw material to released product

Each step hands off automatically to the next, capturing data and signatures as it goes.

01

Receive

Goods-in with auto-generated barcoded batches into quarantine.

02

Produce

Dispense and execute electronic batch records on the line.

03

Test

QC records results, auto-evaluated against specifications.

04

Release

QA reviews and releases with an electronic signature.

05

Serialize & ship

Serialize, aggregate and dispatch with full traceability.

The payoff

What going online actually delivers

Real-time

Live OEE & yield

Spot downtime and bottlenecks as they happen, not at month-end.

Seconds

Faster recalls

Trace affected serials and batches instantly instead of over days.

100%

Audit-ready

Every action signed and logged for inspection at any moment.

Zero

Duplicate entry

One record flows across departments — no rekeying, fewer errors.

Cloud, backup & disaster recovery

A cloud-based solution, hosted on AWS

No on-prem servers to run. Smart Factory is delivered as a managed cloud service on AWS — engineered for high availability, with automated backups and a disaster-recovery plan that meets enterprise requirements.

A fully managed, cloud-based solution on AWS

Smart Factory runs entirely in the cloud on Amazon Web Services — there are no servers for your team to patch or maintain. The platform scales elastically and is deployed across multiple Availability Zones for high availability.

  • Managed, auto-scaling infrastructure on AWS
  • Multi-AZ deployment · 99.9% uptime SLA
  • Encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AWS KMS)
  • Isolated, per-tenant data with role-based access

Secure by design

Your data is protected end to end and governed by enforced access controls and a complete, tamper-evident audit trail — so every record stays safe, private and inspection-ready.

Built for the people who run regulated production

We replaced three binders and two spreadsheets per batch. Release that took two days now happens the same shift.

Compliance is the default, not an add-on

Electronic signatures, immutable audit trails, controlled documents and enforced workflows are baked into every module — so you stay inspection-ready from day one.

EU GMP Annex 11

Computerised systems, covered clause by clause

The operational controls Annex 11 expects from software are built into the platform — and it produces the audit trails, signatures and records your validation package and SOPs point to.

Clause 5

Data

Built-in checks on every electronic exchange — typed validation, scale tolerance and calibration gating, strict factory scoping.

Clause 6

Accuracy checks

Critical manual entries need a second operator: the verifier must differ from the weigher and signs electronically.

Clause 8

Printouts

Clear, printable copies of every batch record, with signatures and their verification state on the page.

Clause 9

Audit trails

System-generated, append-only trail of every change with user, timestamp, before/after values and the reason.

Clause 12

Security

Role-based access per module and factory, failed-login lockout, password aging — and every authorisation change recorded.

Clause 13

Incident management

Deviations and CAPAs with revision-controlled investigations, root cause and effectiveness verification.

Clause 14

Electronic signature

Signatures are timestamped and cryptographically bound to the record's content — tampering after signing fails verification.

Clause 15

Batch release

Release demands an explicit e-signature from an authorised person, recorded on the batch with identity, date and time.

Clause 17

Archiving

Records are retained, never hard-deleted, and content-hash signatures keep archived data verifiable for integrity.

Annex 11 is a lifecycle standard: risk assessments, validation packages, backups and change-control procedures remain your quality team’s responsibility. Smart Factory supplies the enforced controls and inspection-ready evidence they build on.
