What it does
PAS-X is a manufacturing execution system, or MES, from Korber Pharma. Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers use it to record and manage every step of a production batch. The system creates electronic batch records automatically as work happens, which supports strict rules like FDA 21 CFR Part 11. The newest version adds an AI chat feature: operators can ask it a question about a problem on the line and get links to the relevant procedure or manual. A related product, PAS-X Savvy, analyzes manufacturing data across systems, and Korber describes it as the base for further AI use. PAS-X can run on-premises or as a managed cloud service on AWS or Microsoft Azure, and it holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications.
Where it can help
This fits a pharmaceutical, biotech, or cell and gene therapy manufacturer that needs strict, auditable batch records, and a quality or manufacturing IT team already managing GMP compliance. Larger drug makers usually run the full PAS-X suite; a newer, smaller version called PAS-X Neo targets smaller biotech companies with less in-house IT support. A realistic pilot still means a real project, since MES rollouts like this involve validation work and typically take months, not weeks. Pricing is not public, so treat any number as a planning estimate until you get a quote from Korber. The cloud-hosted PAS-X as a Service option can lower upfront cost and IT burden compared to running the system on-premises, according to the vendor. Confirm current AI chat features and their scope directly with Korber before you plan a rollout.

Security and safe use
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Exit and rollback
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
Recommended next step
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
