Johnson & Johnson has updated their site in Geel, Belgium to Werum’s PAS-X V3.1.5. The Geel site manufactures important APIs for products such as cancer medication that are then processed further at other facilities globally.
 
PAS-X is in operation as a complete Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in several areas of API manufacturing and the product warehouse. Approximately 300 employees use the PAS-X system.



“Johnson & Johnson has already implemented Werum’s PAS-X in some plants,” says Anje Vermeiren, Senior Manager Manufacturing Systems of Johnson & Johnson. “After operating the previous version for about two years, we have updated the PAS-X system in Geel in order to benefit from the improved out-of-the-box product functionality, such as enhanced Master Batch Record functions, easier ways of reviewing Electronic Batch Records – and enriched handheld functionality.”
