Schneider Electric Launches Easy Harmony FT6 Stainless Steel Touch Screen to Assist Enterprises in Controlling Safety and Compliance

Drug and food safety are closely related to the health of consumers. For a long time, industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage have been strictly regulated by relevant regulatory agencies, and safety and compliance are insurmountable red lines. This requires enterprises to ensure that the entire production process complies with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), and to ensure the authenticity, completeness, and traceability of production record data. However, in recent years, with the aging population becoming the new normal, laws and regulations related to food and drug safety in production standards, product quality management, and other aspects have been frequently introduced and increasingly improved, which means that enterprises will face more challenges in compliance production and management.

In addition, in the increasingly refined production processes and complex operating environments, the safety of infrastructure and equipment is crucial for enterprise production safety, data continuity, and economic benefits. To maintain normal production activities, enterprises need to choose appropriate production equipment and digital solutions based on the specific situation of each process link. Especially in the later stage of the process, there are higher requirements for the safety of electronic equipment use, input-output ratio, and other aspects. For example, production processes with strict hygiene standards require equipment with corrosion resistance and high pressure flushing resistance to cope with periodic mold cleaning. Therefore, the life science industry urgently needs to utilize innovative digital technologies for efficient management of the entire production cycle, equipped with more secure, adaptable, and resilient HMI solutions, and continuously improve quality management and testing systems to ensure that the final product quality meets relevant regulatory requirements.

Safety and compliance oriented high-quality empowerment of the life science industry.

Based on years of mature experience in deeply cultivating computerized systems and leading digital technology, Schneider Electric's Easy Harmony FT6 stainless steel touch screen adopts a high standard and high specification lightweight design, which can effectively cope with complex and ever-changing application scenarios and promote sustainable development of enterprises in an electronic and paperless manner. On the other hand, focusing on the pain points of the current pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and beverage industries, the Easy Harmony FT6 stainless steel touch screen provides electronic signature, electronic recording, data integrity, advanced security strategies, and other functions that comply with relevant domestic and foreign regulations. From the perspective of enterprise production safety and compliance, it continuously creates new value for the life science industry.

Ensure safe production: The Easy Harmony FT6 stainless steel touch screen is equipped with Vijeo Designer Basic V2.0 software system, providing Micro USB, USB-A, and dual Ethernet interfaces to meet the isolated OT/IT network connection requirements. Unlike open systems, VJD Basic, as a closed system, has high stability characteristics and can effectively reduce the occurrence of data loss caused by system bugs or crashes. Through a USB drive, operators can export and backup local data to external storage. In conjunction with LAN data transmission and advanced security policies (such as automatic logout, password retry restrictions, password complexity, etc.), this touchscreen supports remote browsing, exporting, and printing of archived records on the PC through the Log Viewer tool. It can effectively reduce the risk of enterprise intellectual property (IP) and key data leakage caused by external network attacks or human operation errors, and safeguard the safe and stable production activities of enterprises.

Support for advanced dual signature function: This touchscreen provides electronic recording and signature functions that comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, replacing paper records and handwritten signatures in a paperless manner, facilitating real-time reading, signature confirmation, and annotation of local data records by operators, and recording timestamps to ensure the authenticity and traceability of each operation event. At the same time, the touch screen also provides a review signature function that meets GMP compliance requirements, which supports verifying the second signature input by advanced users. As an advanced security checkpoint for modifying key data during the production process, it can improve the accuracy of manual data input and the correctness of data processing, providing dual guarantees for enterprise safety and compliance production.

Accurate data recording and querying: The integrity of enterprise production data is a GMP compliance requirement and a necessary ability for enterprises to establish a mature product quality management system. This touchscreen supports local encrypted database archiving, meets data integrity requirements, and can achieve audit tracking and other functions. It has a built-in 16GB storage capacity. By manually entering the batch number, production data that has been written to the database archive can be customized and screened based on keywords. Combined with the Log Viewer tool, operators can remotely verify data integrity on the PC side, ensuring that enterprise production standards meet regulatory compliance requirements while providing transparent, complete, and reliable high-quality data references for enterprise decision-makers. This continuously improves the ability of enterprises in product quality management, ultimately helping to establish mutual trust relationships with regulatory agencies, supply chains, and end users.

High cost-effectiveness: The Easy Harmony FT6 stainless steel touch screen adopts a software and hardware integrated design, with no additional cost for software authorization services and version upgrades. It is equipped with a 16 million color TFT display screen and offers four screen sizes of 7, 10, 12, and 15 inches to meet the needs of different application scenarios. In terms of material, the front panel is made of national standard food grade stainless steel material, which meets the hygiene requirements of DIN EN 1672-2 food processing machinery. Its IP66K protection level also has performance such as high pressure flushing resistance and corrosion resistance, which can effectively reduce equipment failure rate and operation and maintenance costs.

Food comes first with safety. Currently, with people's increasing awareness of food safety and health, various sectors of society are constantly putting forward new requirements for higher standards and high-quality production standards for enterprises. Schneider Electric will rely on its unique industry insights and leading scientific research technology, always committed to providing digital solutions covering the entire lifecycle for industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage, and helping enterprises move towards lean, efficient, safe, and green production.
