Combining the challenges of traditional discrete manufacturing with a high level of regulatory control, medical device manufacturing presents a unique set of business obstacles. To remain competitive, manufacturers must execute production efficiently, manage operational costs and ensure regulatory compliance while consistently producing high-quality products.
To address these challenges, IndX leverages Siemens Opcenter Execution Medical Device and Diagnostics, formerly known as the Camstar Medical Device Suite. As part of a Manufacturing Execution System offering, Opcenter Execution Medical Device and Diagnostics was designed to enforce control across the five Ms of manufacturing: Man, Machine, Method, Material and Measurement.

Industry Challenges in Medical Device Manufacturing
Combining the challenges of traditional discrete manufacturing with high regulatory control, Medical Device Manufacturing presents a unique set of business obstacles. Companies today must execute efficiently, keep costs low and ensure compliance, all while consistently producing high-quality products.
IndX Solution Approach & Technology Platform
To answer these challenges, IndX leverages the Opcenter Execution Medical Device and Diagnostics Suite, formerly known as Camstar, from Siemens Software.
MES Foundation & the 5 Ms of Manufacturing
Part of a leading Manufacturing Execution System (MES) offering, Opcenter Execution MDD was designed to enforce the control of the 5 Ms of manufacturing – Man, Machine, Method, Material and Measure.
Controlling MAN
The system checks that all training and certification requirements are met before allowing any user to work at a particular operation or inspection.
Controlling MACHINE
The system ensures that only qualified equipment that is up-to-date on maintenance and calibration is used in production.
Controlling METHOD
The system enforces process sequence, ensuring that all necessary steps and data collection are completed and providing instant feedback to ensure compliance.
Controlling MATERIAL
Opcenter EX MDD ensures that operators use the right quantity of qualified materials, enforces expiration dates, LIFO (Last In, First Out) and FIFO (First In, First Out) rules.
Controlling MEASURE
The system ensures that all required data is collected. Data is compared to specification limits and can automatically trigger rework or non-conformance.
Core Capabilities & Compliance Enablement
Opcenter Execution MDD is a leading manufacturing execution solution designed for error-proofing processes, paperless manufacturing, electronic device history records (eDHR) and electronic batch records (EBR).
Out-of-the-Box Best Practices & Business Impact
Opcenter EX MDD was built using best practices in medical device manufacturing and diagnostics for faster out-of-the-box implementation. It helps accelerate innovation, reduce costs and achieve the highest-quality products while making compliance a by-product of excellent manufacturing processes.
Experience & Global Delivery
IndX has a dedicated practice and over 10 years’ experience delivering proven MES solutions like Siemens Opcenter to medical device manufacturers worldwide.
