Need for this
Equipment Qualification

The pharmaceutical industry requires robust equipment qualification and lifecycle management to meet stringent regulatory standards like USFDA, EMA, and WHO GMP. Manual processes for managing equipment are prone to errors, inefficiencies, and risks of non-compliance. A centralised, automated software solution is essential to streamline qualification planning, execution, calibration, maintenance, and requalification while ensuring: 

Data Integrity: Tamper-proof and secure data storage for reliable records.
Real-Time Traceability: Continuous tracking of equipment activities and updates.
Audit Readiness: Organized and accessible electronic records to facilitate regulatory inspections.
How it benefits

Automated workflows ensure strict adherence to cGMP and regulatory guidelines.

Improved Productivity

Streamlined processes save time and reduce manual efforts.

Cost Reduction

Scheduled maintenance and calibration prevent equipment downtime.

Audit Readiness

Comprehensive electronic records simplify inspections and reduce preparation efforts.

Data Integrity

Secure, tamper-proof data management eliminates risks of errors.

Scalability

Adaptable to the growing needs of your organization.

Equipment Qualification with Process XE®

With Process XE®, you can use the Equipment Qualification module as a standalone solution or integrate it seamlessly with any eBMR system. This gives you the flexibility to manage equipment qualification processes independently. However, if you want to unlock the full potential of equipment qualification, integrating it with Process XE’s® other modules can transform your entire manufacturing process. 

By combining Equipment Qualification with modules like eBMR, WDMS, and eLogbook, you can create a unified digital ecosystem. This integration simplifies operations, enhances compliance, and ensures effortless management across your manufacturing lifecycle. Notifications and alerts for calibration, maintenance, and requalification ensure timely actions, while secure electronic signatures and version-controlled updates guarantee data integrity and audit readiness.
