Specialist in diabetes care Novo Nordisk has installed Werum IT Solutions’ PAS-X V3.1.5 MES successfully at its Brazilian site in Montes Claros. With 18 production lines in five process areas, including lines for formulation, filling, inspection, assembling and packaging insulin pens, and two lines for tablet packaging, Montes Claros is one of the company’s largest sites.
PAS-X was rolled out with SAP in the context of the global PS@ SAP programme, Novo Nordisk’s largest ever IT initiative to install a globally standardised ERP/MES solution across all production sites. Montes Claros has been the fifth site on the PAS-X rollout plan. Since PAS-X V3.1.5 covers all major functionalities out of the box, only minor customisations were made.
“Werum’s support as we went live was excellent, for example putting people on site short-term and providing support whenever needed,” said Roberto Soares Toledo, Novo Nordisk’s project manager in Brazil. “Since PAS-X is so flexible, user-friendly and intuitive, it’s possible to begin with the basics and then build on these, learning to use PAS-X step by step.”
The next stage of the PS@ SAP rollout is already underway, with a PAS-X installation at Novo Nordisk’s site in Tianjin, China.
