We had several ideas about why productivity was low, but no data. With ZEO, charts and information now tell us whether the process is working properly.

Sector challenges
Every data point should help explain what happened in each batch
- Batch records distributed across paper, spreadsheets and separate systems.
- Quality checks that are difficult to connect to process conditions.
- Deviations without sufficient production context for investigation.
- Critical parameters that are not visible to the team during the shift.
- Stoppages and format changes reducing line availability.
- Order progress and evidence needed for batch review taking too long to retrieve.

Where ZEO helps
What you can control in pharmaceutical manufacturing
ZEO can work as your MES or as a data capture layer integrated with your existing MES, ERP and production systems.
Quality and process checks
Digitalise checks, inspections and non-conformities, linking evidence to the batch and operation concerned. Support internal review with organised production records.
- Digital quality checks
- Non-conformities
- Batch evidence
- Deviation alerts
Traceability and batch review
Connect material, order and process information so teams can retrieve batch history and investigate incidents with the relevant context.
- Batch and order traceability
- Material and process records
- Evidence retrieval
- Review history
Critical parameters and stability
Capture process measurements and identify deviations from expected conditions. Relate them to quality results and production events.
- Critical parameter monitoring
- Process deviations
- Statistical analysis
- Checks by operation
Line efficiency and availability
Understand the effect of stoppages, microstoppages, cleaning and format changes on actual line capacity.
- Automatic OEE
- Stoppage analysis
- Format and batch changes
- Performance and quality losses
Order progress and batch readiness
Compare actual production with the plan and make the relevant records easier to find for batch review and coordination between teams.
- Order progress
- Plan deviations
- Production records
- Team coordination
Recommended modules
ZEO modules for quality, efficiency and delivery
Start with quality, OEE, planning or shop-floor data capture according to the operational problem you want to solve first.
ZEO Zero Defects
Connect product quality, process checks and traceability to real production conditions.
- Digital quality checks
- Non-conformities and defects
- Batch and process evidence
- Deviation alerts
ZEO Efficiency OEE
Measure availability, performance and quality to identify the losses affecting your actual capacity.
- Automatic OEE
- Stoppages and microstoppages
- Cycles and changeovers
- Scrap and rejects
ZEO On Time Delivery
Compare the production plan with actual progress to anticipate deviations and coordinate decisions during the shift.
- Order progress
- Plan versus actual output
- Capacity visibility
- Orders at risk
Next step
Start with the batch information that is hardest to find when you need it
Together we can review a concrete need in quality checks, traceability, process deviations or line performance, taking account of your procedures and the systems already in place.
