Case Story, GSK- Earn money with paperless calibration

Product catalog summary

Introduction
AstraZeneca, a leading biopharmaceutical company with 30 manufacturing sites in 20 countries, partnered with Beamex to implement a new calibration system at its Sweden Operations. This initiative aimed to enhance efficiency and compliance with strict industry regulations.

The Situation
Calibration is critical in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure equipment accuracy and compliance with regulations like the FDA's GMP requirements. AstraZeneca's largest production unit in Södertälje required a robust calibration management system to maintain product quality and operational efficiency.

The Solution
Beamex's CMX Calibration Management Software and MC5 Multifunction Calibrators were introduced, transitioning from manual, paper-based processes to a fully digital system. This change reduced the workforce needed for calibrations from 50 to 15 employees and allowed for more efficient data management and trend analysis.

Main Benefits

Cost-effective with a one-year pay-off period.
Reduction of databases from 12 to 1, streamlining operations.
Transition to an electronic calibration process, eliminating paperwork.
Extended calibration intervals due to improved data analysis.
Improved overall quality and efficiency of the calibration process.

Future Prospects
The Beamex CMX193 system is set to be integrated into AstraZeneca's European SAP installation, potentially benefiting other sites with this streamlined approach.

Conclusion
The implementation of Beamex's calibration solution at AstraZeneca Sweden Operations has set a new standard for efficiency and compliance in the pharmaceutical industry, demonstrating significant improvements in operational processes and cost savings.
