CannyECM for e-BMR

Electronic Batch Manufacturing Record

Digitize, Control, and Comply with Confidence

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, batch records are the backbone of product quality, regulatory compliance, and patient safety. CannyECM e-BMR transforms traditional paper-based Batch Manufacturing Records into a fully digital, compliant, and audit-ready system—streamlining operations while meeting global regulatory standards.

e-BMR Dashboard Interface

Challenges with Paper-Based BMR

Traditional paper-based batch records create significant operational and compliance challenges that impact product quality and time-to-market.

Manual data entry errors and missing records

Time-consuming batch review and release cycles

Difficulty in tracking deviations and corrections

Risk of non-compliance with regulatory audits

High storage and retrieval costs for physical records

Detailed answers to common technical and operational questions regarding this solution.

Canny eBMR digitizes the entire Master Batch Record creation process through a secure, version-controlled authoring environment, ensuring only approved recipes are executed on the shop floor, eliminating paper routing and transcription errors.

FDA warning letters frequently cite shared user accounts, missing or alterable audit trails (like editing a spreadsheet), and inadequate access controls that allow operators to change test parameters without supervisor authorization.

If an operator enters an out-of-specification (OOS) value, the eBMR system immediately flags the deviation, prevents progression to the next step without authorized intervention, and forces the initiation of a CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) workflow.

Manual yield reconciliation requires aggregating handwritten data across multiple phases, operator logbooks, and scale printouts. This fragmentation leads to arithmetic errors and missing accountability, resulting in delayed batch release times and failed audits.

Yes, we provide comprehensive CSV documentation packages following GAMP 5 principles, including Validation Master Plans (VMP), User Requirement Specifications (URS), IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, and Traceability Matrices to accelerate your compliance validation.

Absolutely. The system dynamically executes complex calculations (like theoretical vs. actual yield) in real-time. If an entered value falls outside predefined critical limits, it enforces an immediate deviation workflow and electronic signature capture.

Yes, Canny eBMR features bi-directional REST APIs that integrate directly with standard LIMS platforms. This allows the eBMR system to automatically pull QA test results and release statuses directly into the batch record without manual data entry.

During execution, the eBMR verifies the equipment IDs against the central calibration database. If an instrument is past its calibration due date or flagged for maintenance, the system physically prevents the operator from using that equipment for the batch.

The eBMR application caches the current active step locally. Operators can complete the immediate critical action uninterrupted. Once the network connection is restored, the signed data and timestamps sync securely back to the central server without data loss.
