The use of biometrics in electronic signatures solves all the current problems with passwords in GMP regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. But what technologies should we use? How should they be applied?
Biometrics allow people to be identified safely, conveniently and quickly. We explain the fundamental aspects to know how to choose the most appropriate technologies and systems for each sector of activity.
The use of the biometric electronic signature not only ensures data integrity and compliance with pharmaceutical regulations, but also solves the problems of inconvenience and loss of time and efficiency of employees.
Password-based electronic signatures are widely used in manufacturing software (MES, ERP) in the pharmaceutical industry, putting at risk data integrity and regulatory compliance. The solution is the biometric electronic signature.
The ALCOA+ requirements defined by the FDA establish, among others, the characteristics for correct identification of employees in regulated pharmaceutical processes. The use of biometrics solves the current difficulties in meeting them.
Current employee identification methods in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes cause data integrity breaches in GMP regulated environments, which can be solved with biometrics.
