Merck Animal Health installed and started up a new automated packaging line. Due to resource constraints, GMP Pros was contracted to create IOPQ protocols and execute the protocols. GMP Pros provided excellent day-to-day communications. This included status updates, specific information or direction needed and draft documents for review. Bottom Line = GMP Pros provided excellent service with very little direction. Their experience is a testament to the service they can provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

About our Team
We support all regulated manufacturing automation including process control systems (DCS/SCADA) manufacturing execution systems (MES) electronic batch records (EBR) LIMS automated material handling serialization systems and environmental monitoring. Our expertise spans pharmaceuticals biologics medical devices and combination products.

We implement comprehensive 21 CFR Part 11 controls including user authentication electronic signatures audit trails data encryption and system access controls. Our validation approach specifically addresses Subpart B requirements for electronic records and Subpart C for electronic signatures with complete traceability.

GAMP 5 is a risk-based approach to computer system validation that scales documentation and testing based on system complexity and GxP impact. By categorizing systems and applying appropriate validation rigor we typically reduce validation costs by 40-60% and timelines by 30-40% compared to traditional CSV.
Yes we are vendor-agnostic and have extensive experience integrating with all major automation platforms including Rockwell (PlantPAx FactoryTalk) Emerson (DeltaV Syncade) Siemens (PCS 7) Honeywell ABB and specialized MES/LIMS vendors. We act as your regulatory and validation partner.
We develop phased migration strategies that maintain validated status throughout transitions. This includes impact assessments change control coordination parallel operation validation and complete documentation updates. Our approach minimizes production disruption while achieving compliance with modern regulatory expectations.
We implement comprehensive data integrity frameworks based on ALCOA principles (Attributable Legible Contemporaneous Original Accurate plus Complete Consistent Enduring Available). This includes technical controls organizational procedures and audit trail reviews aligned with FDA guidance and MHRA expectations.
