In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, even the smallest deviation in equipment performance can impact product quality, batch yield, or compliance. PlantOps360 offers an integrated, GMP-compliant maintenance management solution designed to help manufacturers maintain precise control over their production assets, environmental systems, and utility equipment.
From cleanroom monitoring and calibration schedules to IoT-based predictive maintenance and ERP integration (SAP, Oracle), PlantOps360 ensures that every asset in your plant operates safely, consistently, and in full regulatory alignment.
Challenges in Pharmaceutical & Chemical Plant Maintenance
Pharma and chemical companies operate under some of the world’s most stringent regulations — GMP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EMA, ISO 9001, and OSHA. Traditional maintenance systems often fall short in areas such as:
Manual documentation
Manual documentation leading to incomplete audit trails and non-compliance.
Unscheduled breakdowns
Unscheduled breakdowns that disrupt continuous or batchproduction.
Difficulty tracking calibration schedules
Difficulty tracking calibration schedules for laboratory and process instruments.
Fragmented data silos
Fragmented data silos across ERP, SCADA, and maintenance systems.
Lack of visibility
Lack of visibility into environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, or pressure that affect product quality.
Limited real-time traceability
Limited real-time traceability of spare parts, vendor performance, and CAPA actions.
PlantOps360 helps pharmaceutical maintenance teams transition from reactive to proactive operations — ensuring every machine, sensor, and facility system contributes to compliant, efficient, and safe production.
How PlantOps360 Streamlines Pharmaceutical Maintenance Operations
Every maintenance activity is time-stamped, electronically logged, and audit-ready. The platform supports digital signatures, approval hierarchies, and calibration certificates in line with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
Outcome: Reduced audit preparation time by up to 70% and full traceability across all maintenance actions.
Automatically schedule and track instrument calibrations, validation runs, and environmental qualifications.
Outcome: Zero missed calibration events and higher reliability in critical equipment like autoclaves, bioreactors, and chillers.
IoT sensors monitor temperature, vibration, and flow rate anomalies. When deviations are detected, PlantOps360 generates a predictive maintenance work order.
Outcome: 25–35% reduction in downtime for production and utility equipment.
PlantOps360 integrates with SAP, Oracle, and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) for synchronized asset data, maintenance costs, and compliance reports.
Outcome: Single source of truth for maintenance and quality teams.
Use Zebra or Honeywell scanners to track spare parts and consumables used in validated systems.
Outcome: 100% traceability and optimized stock levels in controlled environments.
Key Use Cases in Pharmaceuticals & Chemical Industry
Preventive Maintenance for Cleanroom HVAC Systems
HVAC filters, fans, and dampers are scheduled and monitored for differential pressure variations. Automatic alerts ensure no contamination risk.
Result: 99.9% uptime for cleanroom environmental systems.
Calibration Management for Laboratory Equipment
PlantOps360 schedules and records calibration data for balances, pH meters, and spectrophotometers.
Result: Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 17025 standards.
Utility Equipment Monitoring
IoT-enabled monitoring of boilers, chillers, and compressors reduces energy consumption and identifies early-stage inefficiencies.
Result: 10–15% reduction in utility costs.
Batch Equipment Traceability
Link every equipment maintenance log to batch production data from ERP.
Result: Complete end-to-end traceability during audits or recalls.
Safety and Compliance Dashboard
Maintenance heads view real-time compliance status, overdue calibrations, and audit readiness reports on Power BI dashboards.
Result: Improved regulatory visibility and proactive compliance management.
