Transform Your Manufacturing Process

5 Electronic Batch Record (EBR) Must-Haves

Are paper-based batch records costing your life sciences company thousands in documentation errors? With reported costs of $5,000-$10,000 per incident, these inefficiencies directly impact your bottom line. A typical quality team struggles with 400–500-page batch records containing up to 3,000 manual entry points—each a potential point of failure. Modern EBR software offers a robust alternative to traditional paper processes, streamlining manufacturing operations and facilitating compliance. This industry brief provides essential guidance for selecting the right digital manufacturing solution.

  • Learn the five critical components every electronic batch record system needs to transform your operations.
  • Discover how digital solutions eliminate errors and streamline workflows when paper can't.
  • Read real-world examples of manufacturers just like you who've shattered time and cost barriers.

No Paper. No Limits.

In today's competitive life sciences manufacturing environment, paper is your biggest barrier to growth. Those manual documentation processes aren't just introducing errors costing up to $100,000 per incident—they're creating bottlenecks that keep your products from patients who need them. For personalised cell therapies, these delays aren't just inconvenient—they're potentially life-threatening. By implementing an electronic batch record system, you'll eliminate data entry errors, enable real-time collaboration between your teams, cut review cycles by 50%, and create complete traceability throughout production. This isn't just about efficiency—it's about transforming your manufacturing challenges into your competitive advantage.   

FAQ on Life Sciences Electronic Batch Records

What exactly is an electronic batch record system?

It's your manufacturing documentation reimagined—replacing paper with intelligent digital workflows. It captures production data automatically, checks for integrity issues, handles calculations, and keeps you compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 without the headaches. 

How will EBRs improve my organisation’s efficiency?

You'll eliminate manual entry, automate calculations, enable real-time reviews, and streamline approvals. Your documentation errors will plummet, batch releases will accelerate, and your production throughput will soar. 

Can we connect EBRs with our other systems?

Absolutely! Modern EBR software seamlessly integrates with your ERP, LIMS, MES, and QMS solutions. Launch batch records directly from work orders and update inventory automatically when production is completed. 

What's the real ROI for implementing EBRs?

Companies like yours report cutting review times in half, eliminating $5,000-$10,000 in costs related to documentation errors, and getting life-changing products to market faster—benefiting both your business and the patients you serve.
