For more than twenty years, pharmaceutical companies have been faced with increasing challenges from regulations established to assure and improve compliance with GxP requirements and Data Integrity needs. This is happening in a context where the adoption of electronic systems is growing both to minimize paper support and to ensure data integrity.
One of the most critical topics is the management and analysis of GxP records and information collected from manufacturing areas in terms of impact on business and quality, and the subsequent access, storage and analysis in order to monitor and optimize the production processes.
AVEVA PI (formerly OSIsoft, recently acquired by AVEVA) is one of the most frequently used platforms for real-time data management. Also called PI System (Plant Information System), it is a software application that allows users to collect, store and visualize/contextualize data, which drives improved business results and helps ensure product quality.
