PharmaSuite 12.00 MES Release to Help Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical Manufacturers Simplify System Management

Rockwell Automation has announced the launch of FactoryTalk PharmaSuite 12.00. The latest release of its manufacturing execution system (MES) is designed to support the unique needs of regulated pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing environments, helping companies simplify system management, accelerate deployments and scale production more efficiently.

As the industry seeks to move faster while ensuring compliance, BioPhorum has noted that current MES solutions are often perceived as expensive, slow to implement and lacking flexibility required for modern operations. PharmaSuite 12.00 directly addresses these pain points, providing a simplified, configurable and future-ready platform for regulated life sciences production.
