The Issues

When Missing Information Becomes a Security Risk

“One of the challenges was to provide operators with real-time information from our SAP ERP system to indicate that a piece of equipment is undergoing maintenance so they would not go near it.” — Alexandre Gultzgoff, CIO

Production Increase production while maintaining quality and safety.  
Compliance Comply with ATEX standards and pharmaceutical traceability requirements.  
Field Data Capture information straight from the source, in real time.
