Roles and responsibilities of an MES engineer

1.Understand and determine the project requirements:

a)The first step in project planning is to gather requirements from the end user.

b)Need to take the time to listen and understand their point of view and ask


their requirements, it helps us in problem-solving in further situations.
c)Based on the information, one can determine what things are needed to deliver to the user.This requires strong communication skills, positivity and problem-solving.
d)Clearly communicate with the end user by answering questions or explain in doubts in addition to actively listening to the end user problems.

2.Define the scope
i.The things to remember while defining the scope are
a) It should be achievable.
b)It sounds like pragmatic.


ii.Along with the scope we need to estimate the line items like
a)Major deliverables.
b)Timelines.
c)Resources and manpower.
d)Related activities.
e)Project boundaries.

3.Breakdown the project scope:
a)Breakdown the scope into smaller tasks and which improves  efficiency.


b)When we have all the resource we can perform the tasks in parallel way so that it will reduce the project time by doing it simultaneously.
c)And stay on track on the projects updates.

4.Conduct in depth extensive research:
a)Be sure on everything involves in project implementation and won't go for any guessing games.


b)Reach out to concerned personnel during the problem arise.

5.Training:
a)Operators need to be prepared to quickly handle the various production issues that may arise.
b)Training is an excellent time to pre-test the MES system.It is also a good time to see how people interact with the MES system to make usability improvements.


c)Not only production department identify those that will be using or supporting the MES system and proactively educate them prior to going live.
d)As more employees are trained,more momentum is gained,resulting in greater return.

What exactly MES engineer can do in project implementation?


a)Manufacturing execution system configuration
b)Programming
c)Debugging
d)Testing
e)Training
f)Documentation

Weigh and Dispense with Automation

-
Image
Weigh and dispense involves the precise removal of bulk raw materials from their source containers, or Dispensing of various materials in different amounts into containers or drums followed by dispensing them with specific quantities by meeting tolerances. This dispensed quantities will be used for below purposes. 1. Providing the sample for R&D 2. Laboratory testing like material identification, purity etc., 3. Allotting materials for manufacturing reference standards. Nowadays most of the pharmaceuticals adopting automation systems for weigh and dispense operations. This will reduce lot of manual work but it is also mandatory to ensure below points in dispensing operations. 1. Regularly calibrating the weighing equipment to maintain accuracy. 2. Accounting for tare weight during dispensing. 3. Ensure precise measurements is paramount. Automation solution services provides the weigh and dispense automated flows thru EBRs will reduce the risk of human error by recording the dispens

Annual Product Review (APR)

-
The term APR most commonly heard in the pharma field but the people working in other departments not have much idea on this why because typically this can be done by Quality Assurance team. Before going to explore the information about APR we should know the definition. Definition of Annual Product Review (APR): Annual product review is an Evaluation conducted Annually to access the quality standard of each product and also to verify the consistency of each drug manufacturing process. Why APR is required in drug manufacturing units? I must say to determine the changes needed in drug process specifications or control procedures. This APR is used to determine the trend in order to improve the controlled procedures leads to revalidation. Retention Period in QA: Product Expiry + 1 Year = 6 Year Retention Period This Annual Product Review and filing mostly annoying due to deep dive into the data review process but by developing automation methods

Image
Scanner is the device used in the automated processes to scan Barcode or QR codes. Normally scanner is used in the manufacturing processes to Identify and Bind Materials, Batches, Sublots, Equipments to the process. Manual identification for said items always will be a risk for accidental errors. Using scanners in automated manufacturing processes will avoid human errors and maintains integrity. Here is the schematic diagram for scanner and its components connection in one of the business scenario for your reference. Position 1: Power Supply from the universal supply module. Position 2: Host PC/MES HMI Position 3: Data Cable Host PC - Universal Supply module (This Cable has to be provided by the customer) Position 4: Universal Supply Module for Hand-Held Scanners. Position 5: Connecting cable to scanner Position 6: Hand-Held Scanner The Universal Supply Module can be operated in a potentially explosive atmosphere. The universal supply module used
