Korber Werum launched PAS-X K.ME-IN, a partner program that provides Werum PAS-X MES customers with an out-of-the-box interface for the use of biometric authentication technology.
The program aims to enable 50 percent faster identification times while ensuring only authorized personnel can access the manufacturing execution system (MES). Integral Biometrics and obion (formerly i.p.a.s.-system) have joined the program.

Körber’s Werum PAS-X MES Suite digitally controls, monitors, and documents the manufacturing process in real-time. The PAS-X K.ME-IN solution supports unique biometric authentication such as iris scan, face recognition, fingerprint, or a combination of those before granting access to users. This eliminates the cumbersome process of entering usernames, passwords, or PIN codes. As a result, the time needed to log in to PAS-X MES is significantly reduced, and providing electronic signatures becomes a lot easier.

Integral Biometrics provides two options that customers can use to log into Werum PAS-X MES: the At-a-Glance and At-a-Touch login methods can authenticate users at any workstation via cost-effective iris sensors within two seconds or via fingerprint recognition systems, respectively. With that solution customers work password free, touch free, fast and friction free.

LogOnPlus from obion is a solution for logical access to various business applications. It can use existing identification infrastructure such as RFID readers or employee badges currently in place. With its newest release 5.2, LogOnPlus also supports biometric methods such as the Freevolt S-Key fingerprint secured RFID card or iris scan.

“Werum PAS-X K.ME-IN offers a convenient, user-friendly, and tamper-proof solution for an efficient system interaction in the life sciences production environment,” said Lars Hornung, senior principal alliances & technology partners software, Körber Business Area Pharma. “Integral Biometrics and obion are two strong partners that recently received the ‘Ready’ level of our PAS-X K.ME-IN partner certification program. Our collaborative efforts are focused on providing our customers with innovative authentication solutions for the future of pharmaceutical production. These cutting-edge technologies not only enhance compliance and data security but also ensure a user-friendly experience.”

“In life, our eyes can be our keys to trust. With Integral’s iris biometrics and authentication automation platform, we offer a natural interaction with manufacturing systems eliminating passwords and simplifying work,” said Marc Diament, CEO, Integral Biometrics. “This is no longer the stuff of science fiction; our goggled, gowned, and gloved customers are now benefitting from using this accessible technology through PAS-X K.ME-IN.
