Contract Pharmacal

A TrakSYS-powered success story at Contract Pharmacal, featuring Parsec Certified Partner Applied Control Engineering

Contract Pharmacal Corp. is a full-service pharmaceutical manufacturer specializing in over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, and solid-dose prescription products. Serving leading pharmaceutical brands, retailers, and wholesalers, the company operates in a highly regulated, high-volume manufacturing environment.

As operations expanded and customer expectations increased, Contract Pharmacal faced limited real-time insight into production performance, downtime drivers, and line progress. Communication gaps between shifts and difficulty aligning production plans with execution made it challenging to clearly understand constraints and respond quickly.

To address these obstacles, Contract Pharmacal partnered with Parsec Certified Partner Applied Control Engineering to pursue a manufacturing execution strategy focused on shared visibility, historical insight, and a more transparent view of production across lines.

In this case study, we explore how Applied Control Engineering worked with Contract Pharmacal to:

• Establish real-time visibility into line performance and production status
• Improve transparency between shifts and production teams
• Create a shared view of downtime causes and operational constraints
• Align production execution with customer and planning requirements
• Support optimization efforts through accessible historical production data
