What is Electronic Batch Records?

Electronic Batch Records (EBR) are digital systems used in manufacturing, particularly in highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals and food & beverage, to replace paper-based batch records. They provide a complete and accurate electronic record of the entire manufacturing process for a specific batch of product, capturing data from equipment, operators, and other sources in real-time. EBR systems improve data integrity, reduce errors, streamline workflows, and facilitate regulatory compliance by providing comprehensive audit trails and enabling electronic signatures. They are commonly used to ensure product quality, traceability, and efficient manufacturing operations.
