Presenter: Bryon Hayes, Functional Consultant

Most life sciences plants automated the process years ago. The batch record never caught up. It is still hundreds of pages, signed by hand, and read line by line by QA before a single lot ships.

It does not have to be that way. If you are running System Platform, Batch Management and PI, you already own most of what an electronic batch record needs. The AVEVA stack handles recipe governance, ISA-88 execution, operator enforcement, genealogy and a contextualized evidence layer better than most people give it credit for. The problem is not missing software. It is how the pieces come together.

In this session, Bryon Hayes, Functional Consultant for Life Sciences at Grantek, lays out a practical reference architecture for building an EBR on AVEVA. He will cover where the record should live, why the record and the evidence need to stay separate, and how review by exception actually holds up in front of an inspector. He will also walk through what the 2025 Annex 11, Annex 22 and CSA updates mean for anyone scoping a project today.

You will leave knowing how to retire paper one product family at a time, using the platform you already have.
