Success StoryPAS-X KPI –Shop Floor Performance Management Software

Manufacturing efficiency for Pharma and Biotech: get real time insight into

shop floor performance. Werum’s PAS-X KPI Solution offers high-perfor-

mance functionality that boosts Operational Excellence und Lean Manu-

facturing.

What is PAS-X KPI? Werum’s PAS-X KPI Solution addresses one most crucial issue in Pharma

and Biotech these days: continuous measurement of production

activity in order to increase shop floor efficiency. To achieve efficiency,

it is essential to constantly keep track of Key Performance Indicators

(KPIs). Shop floor employees as well as managers need reliable and up-

to-date information that helps acting swiftly and to the point.

PAS-X KPI enables just that by collecting and aggregating process metrics

around Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in real time and in an

appealing, intuitive Web 2.0 User Interface. Problems and bottlenecks

can be detected and remedied quickly – effectiveness, productivity and

profitability are improved continuously.

Challenge facedEffective KPI Controlling requires aggregation and provisioning of

huge amounts of data in real time. The result shall not only be correct

but also beautiful on the iPad and generally user-friendly. The first

running version had to be available within a short timeframe to

discuss with customers and to obtain and incorporate feedback from

the beginning. The product was supposed to run both stand-alone

and in combination with other PAS-X Business Functions – delivering

stability, high performance and wide acceptance even with many

machines monitored.

Sebastian Rothbucher, akquinet AG: „Being constructive, breaking new grounds, challenging

the status quo – the good projects.“

UI code

n leveraged Vaadin’s asynchronous UI updates to create a

high-performance worker mechanism which brings any event

occurring at any machine to the UI within the blink of an eye

n used the full potential of Vaadin and Vaadin Charts for an

easy-to-use and simply beautiful UI – which we optimized for

styling and testability from the beginning

n set up Continuous Delivery for a green build and a sense of

confidence when jointly advancing the code base
