In today's tough business environment, competition among commercial pharmaceutical manufacturers is becoming more intense. Companies are faced with price erosion due to changes in healthcare practices and government regulations. Under these conditions, manufacturers must improve process efficiency, increase plant availability, reduce maintenance costs, and better utilize physical and intellectual assets in order to achieve and sustain financial results.

With Honeywell, you can take control of processes and the environment in your regulated manufacturing facility. Our pharmaceutical solutions integrate best practices in such key areas as process control, environmental control, validation—every cost center in the plant. These solutions enable you to link process automation systems to higher-level platforms such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and find new, unforeseen opportunities to boost performance and drive down costs.

Honeywell can also help minimize the risks associated with maintaining compliance—and the high cost of being late to market. Our automation solutions allow you to meet current and emerging regulatory requirements placed on your process, such as OSHA, FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), 21CFR Part 11, and GAMP, as well as internal documentation and traceability guidelines.

Implementation of Honeywell's integrated solutions for commercial pharmaceutical manufacturing provides the agility needed to stay ahead of the competition and respond quickly to changing customer requirements. It also helps you avoid maintenance shutdowns and equipment breakdowns that reduce plant up-time.

Honeywell's next-generation Process Knowledge System™, Experion PKS™, incorporates the latest plant automation technologies, including FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, HMIWeb—Honeywell's patented human-machine interface technology, Digital Video Manager (DVM) and @sset MAX Alert Manager to protect your plant assets. The Experion PKS open, scalable process and environmental control platform supports today's flexible manufacturing strategies. Process Knowledge Solutions™ address the entire spectrum of your automation and business requirements.

Honeywell's Facility Management Solutions provide the information needed to make crucial decisions quickly. At the core of these solutions is our Enterprise Building Integrator (EBI) facility management system. This fully-integrated control platform pulls together all core building systems and integrates information from many different enterprise subsystems, from industrial manufacturing and process automation, to financial records, environmental controls and data warehouses.

Our industry-best MES solution (POMS MES for Pharmaceuticals) allows you to manage every step of the production process—from materials receipt to product shipment. Plus, it ensures your manufacturing operations are capable of delivering on your enterprise's e-business supply chain commitments. We also provide an electronic specification solution (e-Spec) for managing the collaborative development and deployment of pharmaceutical product specifications. The system organizes and automates the process of planning, sourcing, producing and delivering new healthcare-related products from concept to commercial manufacturing.

By integrating best practices with quality and regulatory compliance, Honeywell Pharmaceutical Solutions give you the means to minimize risk, increase throughput, streamline production costs, and eliminate unnecessary time delays during new product launch.
