Account for every granulation, compression run and blister pack from dispensing to dispatch.

A tablet plant converts powders into measured units. Dispensing, blending, granulation, drying, compression, coating and packing each leave a record, and each has a yield that must be accounted for. If the counts do not reconcile, the batch cannot be closed, and the missing tablets have to be found, explained and signed off by someone senior. That takes time.

This software holds those records against one batch number. Weights, hardness, friability, disintegration and weight variation are posted where they are measured. The packing hall sees the exact count of tablets released to it from the compression suite and the coating pan. Contract clients receive documents under their own product names. Brands never cross.

The day starts in dispensing, where each ingredient is weighed against the batch card and checked by a second person. Powders are blended or wet-granulated, dried in a fluid bed dryer, milled to size and lubricated with magnesium stearate before the mix is moved to the compression suite in labelled bins. On the compression machine, the operator sets punches and dies, checks weight, thickness and hardness at intervals, and logs rejects. Coated tablets pass through a pan with a spray of coating suspension.

Packing hall lines run blister machines or bottle filling. Batch number and expiry are printed on every pack. Cartons are counted and cased. The reconciliation of tablets in against packs out must close. Clients on contract ask for documents under their own brand names, and quality staff review the completed batch record before anything is sold.
