(9)3.8/5

Opcenter Research Development & Laboratory (RD&L) streamlines R&D and Manufacturing processes and enables seamless transition of product data and definitions through the entire manufacturing process by integrating R&D labs with the plants. Opcenter RD&L allows companies in process industries to capitalize on their R&D potential and develop new products faster. It keeps the product designs and processes well in-line with quality and regulatory requirements. The smooth integration and alignment of R&D with manufacturing data and processes drastically speeds up the transfer of final product designs to mainstream manufacturing. To achieve coexistence of best-in-class functionality, integrated workflow and configurable flexibility, Opcenter RD&L is one integrated platform based on latest technological standards. The result of this innovation is a solution consisting of five components working closely together in one integrated multi site platform allowing to create a digital thread from Idea Generation to start up in production: - Specification Management: Single Point of Reference for managing the individual and corporate-wide detailed specifications of raw materials, intermediate products, semi-finished & finished products, packaging materials, utilities, etc. This multi-site and multi-language environment supplies the operational systems like ERP, MES and LIMS with the necessary data such as product characteristics, quality norms and methods, recipes, nutritional values and statements, production methods and the like. - Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) Supports the electronic management of project related data in a notebook structure with a high level of flexibility and stringent data security rules. - Formula Workbench Supports the Formulator in researching and developing new formulations based on existing and new raw materials taking into account regulatory constraints, consumer expectations, supply chain constraints, company vision. Simulation of product performance (e.g. cost, nutritional profile, allergen levels, viscosity, ...) is an important aspect. - Supplier collaboration Involves the suppliers in the raw material & packaging management process, linking them directly to the digital thread of the product development process. Collaboration is triggered by a simple request and response mechanism. Suppliers have the responsibility to update their own raw material & package specification data on a regular basis resulting in a reduction of the administrative effort for the manufacturer. - Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Covers the lab test execution process in R&D Labs and QA/QC labs by managing the workflow in these laboratories, and optimizing collection, analysis and reporting of quality data in the lab and on the production line. The results of R&D related product testing help the formulator to adapt or optimize their formulations.
