Körber, a leader in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) in pharma manufacturing, and Nymi, a biometric wearable company, have strengthened their partnership to deliver secure and contactless user authentication solutions in pharmaceutical production.

Building on a foundation of successful collaboration in the past, Nymi now joins the Körber Ecosystem as part of the “PAS-X K.ME-IN” partner certification program on the “Ready” level. This partnership signifies a closer collaboration between the two companies, as Nymi’s wearable technology now directly integrates with Körber’s PAS-X MES through the PAS-X K.ME-IN standard interface without the need for third-party systems.

In combination with devices from partners such as Nymi, PAS-X K.ME-IN leverages biometric authentication to simplify and speed-up user access to PAS-X MES without compromising any access rules configured in the PAS-X MES user rights management. The system seamlessly integrates with Nymi’s Nymi Band, a discreet wristband that can be worn under protective clothing. This unique wearable identifies each user based on their biometric fingerprint, eliminating the need for usernames, passwords, or PIN codes. Consequently, login times are significantly reduced by over 50%.

“We are excited to solidify our partnership with Nymi and provide our PAS-X MES users on version 3.2.8 and above as well as version 3.1.8 PE5 with this solution for secure and efficient shopfloor identification,” says Lars Hornung, Senior Principal Alliances & Technology Partners Software, Körber Business Area Pharma. “PAS-X K.ME-IN, integrated with Nymi’s wearable technology, is an excellent fit for the stringent requirements and expectations in pharmaceutical manufacturing.”

“We are proud to have a longstanding partnership with Körber, a collaboration that consistently delivers significant value to our customers. The latest example is the new direct integration between Nymi and PAS-X K.ME-IN, which simplifies the implementation of the Nymi Band within the pharma industry’s leading MES. We are excited about a dynamic future filled with ongoing innovation and cooperation,” concludes Markus Windisch, Director of Channel and Alliances at Nymi.
