GMP, SAHPRA & PIC/S Compliance Support
IT controls aligned to GMP principles, SAHPRA guidance and PIC/S-adapted requirements, so technology environments stay traceable and inspection-ready.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing IT Services
Specialist IT Support for GMP Production
Erasmus Projects provides IT services designed specifically for regulated manufacturing environments. We support production networks, validated systems, electronic records, and manufacturing-critical infrastructure.
Our experience includes hands-on Process Control Network design and implementation from scratch, ERP, MES, QMS, LIMS, SCADA, PLC interfaces, electronic batch records, warehouse systems, reporting platforms, QC laboratory instruments, and validated computerised systems.
Services include
- Production network management
- Server and workstation reliability
- Secure identity and access control
- Electronic records support
- Backup monitoring and disaster recovery
- Infrastructure maintenance and lifecycle management
- Vendor coordination for regulated systems
- Support for ERP, MES, QMS, LIMS, SCADA, PLC, and EBR environments
Who this is for
Licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers running GMP production in South Africa, where the IT estate has grown alongside the plant and now spans enterprise systems, production systems and QC laboratory instruments.
The work usually starts because something has made the gap visible: an inspection finding, a system that keeps interrupting production, a validation backlog, or an ageing network nobody has a current diagram for.
What supporting a regulated environment actually changes
Standard IT practice assumes you can patch on a vendor's schedule, reboot a workstation when it misbehaves, and upgrade software when a new version ships. In GMP production, each of those is a controlled change with an assessment, an approval and a record.
We work inside those constraints rather than around them. Changes are planned against the production calendar, assessed for impact on validated systems, and documented so the evidence exists long after the work is done.
Systems we support
Our day-to-day work spans the full manufacturing technology stack and the interfaces between its layers:
- ERP — materials, orders and production planning
- MES and electronic batch records (EBR) — order execution and batch data
- QMS — deviations, CAPA, change control and document management
- LIMS and QC laboratory instruments — including Agilent, Shimadzu and related analytical systems
- SCADA and PLC interfaces — production equipment and control systems
- Warehouse and reporting platforms — inventory, dispatch and management reporting
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you replace our existing IT provider?
Not necessarily. Many sites have a capable general IT provider handling the corporate environment and need specialist support for the regulated and production side. We define the boundary clearly at the start so responsibility for the production network, validated systems and change control is unambiguous.
Do you take over validation or QA responsibilities?
No. We provide the IT controls that support validated operation. Validation ownership, quality decisions and regulatory responsibility stay with the manufacturer and its appointed responsible personnel.
Which manufacturing systems have you worked with?
ERP, MES, QMS, LIMS, SCADA, PLC interfaces, electronic batch records, warehouse systems, reporting platforms and QC laboratory instruments, including Agilent and Shimadzu analytical systems.
