Siemens Opcenter RD&L – prescription product data management

Opcenter RD&L (Research, Development and Laboratory) is a flexible and scalable platform for the FMCG and process industries to streamline and standardize prescription product data management. This enables more efficient research and faster development of new products. Opcenter RD&L (formerly SIMATIC IT R&D Suite) helps you meet quality and regulatory requirements. Tight integration of research and development data with manufacturing data and processes significantly accelerates the transfer of finished product designs to production.

The products created by Opcenter RD&L fully comply with the GMP standard. The international standard GMP (good manufactured practice) is quality assurance at all stages of production – from the moment of receipt of raw materials and packaging materials to the company to the shipment of finished products to the warehouse.

For standard R&D tasks such as project data management, recipe creation, sample and experiment control, and production process development, you need an integrated set of best-in-class tools, from electronic notebooks to lab, specification, batch, inventory, and production management tools. on pilot plants, etc. Opcenter RD & L also has the means to protect intellectual property and enforce regulatory requirements.

Opcenter RD & L consists of three main components, which are supplemented by an electronic laboratory journal and a solution for connecting third-party users:

Opcenter Specification
Opcenter Formulation
Opcenter Laboratory

Development of prescription products, verification of compliance with regulatory requirements, development of formulas, interaction with suppliers to implement more effectively with the help of Opcenter Specification & amp; Formulation
Key Features of the Opcenter Specification & amp; Form; for the development of prescription products:

Integrated development process Reduce product development costs
End-to-end production management recipe development process Centralized Product / Product Data Management (PLM)
Regulatory managementReduction of time for operational management of nonconformities

Close integration of research and development data with production data and processes significantly accelerates the transfer of finished designs to production.

For standard research and development tasks such as project data management, recipe creation, sample and experiment control and production process development, an integrated set of best-in-class tools is needed – from electronic notebooks to laboratory management tools, specifications, batches, stocks, experienced production, etc. Opcenter also has the means to protect intellectual property and enforce regulatory requirements.

Opcenter Specification allows you to create a single repository covering all factories around the world, containing details of all raw materials, blanks, finished products, packaging materials used within the company. This includes the ability to fully manage specifications with version control.
Stetification management includes:

Manage all product specification information:
– Components
– Stages of processes (development, production)
– analysis of the regulatory framework
– Integration with quality control solution
Global and Local Specifications
Applying Algorithms
Flexible configuration

Opcenter Formulation is a software component that makes a digital duplicate a reality. By keeping all the specifications in a single repository, the Opcenter Specification helps improve the formula in the digital environment. Whether you rely on an existing list of ingredients or start from scratch, the digital duplicate of the formula allows you to assess the impact of the formula on value, nutritional value when it comes to food and beverages, and monitor compliance with export regulations, for example, cosmetics to any country in the world.
