Business Intelligence (BI) for Artwork Process Controls
PacOnline® realistically models business processes and document structures, thus enabling integrated artwork life cycle management in a software environment. PacOnline® closes the data-processing gap in the packaging process supply chain between the superordinate ERP system (e.g. SAP, Masterdata) and the production databases storing parts of packaging specifications, texts or graphic data.
PacOnline®, a software system for artwork life cycle management, has been developed for companies using large volumes of printed packaging requiring frequent modification.
PacOnline® brings transparency to organizational processes in artwork development and ensures straightforward trackability of artwork histories. In the environment of unequivocal responsibilities created through application of PacOnline®, company departments and external partners can achieve efficient and reliable execution of the artwork process. This achieves faster cycle times, while ensuring that processes are GMP compliant. Personnel involved in the process enjoy the user-friendly operational support which PacOnline® provides, releasing manpower from routine tasks and underpinning the operational contribution of all players. The successful bringing together of documents, workflows and co-workers is essential to the artwork creation process. Fast artwork development enables shorter product development times. PacOnline® accelerates artwork development by simplifying communication, specific workflows, messaging, and, if correspondingly extended, by automated artwork generation. The special business intelligence in packaging development is modeled in a practice-related way and efficiency enhanced.
In some business sectors, high demands are made on the artwork process in terms of quality and documentation. In the pharmaceutical industry in particular, the trackability of modifications is absolutely essential. PacOnline® meets these requirements and takes care of the documentation required for regulatory bodies in electronic mode, cutting out the need for paper documents.
By extending PacOnline® to enable automatic artwork generation along the entire process, PacOnline® provides a global first. PacOnline® allows consolidated packaging item pools, large reductions in development times for artworks and thus competitive benefits and simplification of tasks for the co-workers involved in the artwork process. |
