Acumatica Manufacturing Edition offers an outstanding solution to help manufactures track and manage many aspects of their businesses. For instrument and medical device manufacturers, Acumatica Manufacturing may be the solution they’ve been looking for to many common industry problems. Here’s how Acumatica helps solve those problems—and more.
Unique Challenges for Instrument and Medical Device Manufacturing
Many areas of manufacturing are highly regulated. These include food for animal and human consumption, cosmetics manufacturing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Instrument and medical device manufacturing also has similar requirements.
These stringent requirements may include:
- Following FDA-specified protocols and procedures for maintenance and cleaning of equipment and manufacturing facilities
- Temperature monitoring and tracking of ingredients and finished products, from warehouse to shipment
- Use of only regulated ingredients
- Tracking batch and lot numbers of supplies to ensure quality control
Manufacturers attempting to use outdated ERP platforms or generic ERP systems may find themselves adding manual tracking to their automated efforts to ensure regulatory compliance.
But there is a solution available that you may not be aware of—Acumatica Manufacturing Edition. Some instrument and device manufacturing companies may have heard of Acumatica but assumed it was an ERP system for other types of manufacturing. It is also an excellent ERP system for highly regulated industries.
