Shiftconnector and PAS-X Integration

Lüneburg, Germany/ Boston, MA, 17 March 2025 -- Körber welcomes eschbach as the first partner in the newly established PAS-X Data Access category of the Körber Ecosystem Partner program. This partnership empowers pharmaceutical manufacturers to leverage PAS-X MES data in Shiftconnector for real-time transparency across teams and departments to increase operational efficiency and excellence.

In today’s fast-evolving pharmaceutical landscape, manufacturers require integrated systems that streamline production, enhance efficiency, and enable data-driven decision-making. Körber’s PAS-X MES is a cornerstone of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring precise execution of production processes while capturing critical data for batch record release, analytics, and AI-driven insights.
