In an era where digital solutions are paramount for business success, Ecolab remains committed to providing technologies that deliver meaningful outcomes for our customers. A testament to this commitment is CLEEN by Ecolab, our end-to-end offering that empowers life sciences organizations to optimise their operational efficiency, improve compliance readiness, and focus on delivering safe, effective products to market without the burden of outdated methods.

When first launched, CLEEN included two modules – Digital Logbook and Cleaning Validation. This week, the Batch Execution module was added to the platform. The new addition aims to further help drive efficiency and compliance with paperless production.

CLEEN is built to empower customers in pharmaceutical, personal care and cosmetics industries to streamline their processes, improve audit-readiness, and achieve right-first-time production. With this innovative solution, we are enabling companies to stay ahead of production delays, reduce compliance risks, and unlock operational efficiencies through real-time data, automation, and trend analysis.

“CLEEN is more than just a platform; it’s a catalyst for transformative change in the life sciences industry,” Chris Morgan, SVP & GM, Global Pharma & Personal Care, said. “By integrating our solutions into everyday practices, we empower our customers to navigate the complexities of regulatory requirements with greater confidence and efficiency, enabling them to focus on innovation while ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality. With CLEEN, we are not only streamlining operations but also paving the way for enhanced collaboration and long-term success in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.”

The new Batch Execution module is designed to enhance efficiency and accuracy in batch manufacturing processes by enabling seamless execution of records and capturing critical data in real-time. With step-by-step guidance and a user-friendly interface, operators can work to maintain compliance, execute procedures, and generate detailed reports to support traceability and quality assurance.

The existing Digital Logbook module goes beyond the standard logbook tool by enabling manufacturers to rapidly convert any Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or compliance process into a highly digitized workflow. Self-enforcing interlocks and built-in on-demand training materials aim to drive SOP adherence by design. In addition, a comprehensive digital audit trail enables real-time reporting, and embedded analytics benchmark performance to identify opportunities to help reduce downtime, improve equipment availability, and increase the efficient utilization of resources.

Finally, the Cleaning Validation module streamlines and standardizes cleaning validation with intelligent automation. Manufacturers can complete compliant validation in less time than it historically takes while ensuring data integrity at each stage. Through an easy-to-navigate digital platform, CLEEN Validation drafts new protocols for the user, runs precise calculations on carryover limits and worst-case product rankings, auto-generates audit reports for export, and delivers recommendations for optimizing existing cleaning procedures.

“As global experts in contamination control and cleaning practices, we at Ecolab are committed to delivering state-of-the-art solutions that address the unique challenges faced by our customers,” Bryan Anderson, Director of Digital Solutions II, Healthcare and Life Sciences, said. “CLEEN represents our commitment to transforming the way our clients operate, enabling them to focus on what truly matters: delivering safe and vital products to patients and consumers.”

With CLEEN, our customers can begin to move away from outdated paper-based methods and embrace the future through a fully integrated digital platform. This is part of our mission to support clients in reducing risks, improving operational performance, and achieving long-term compliance with regulatory standards.

We’re excited to continue to monitor how CLEEN will work to revolutionize operations for our life sciences customers by unlocking new levels of efficiency and success. To learn more, contact your Ecolab Account Manager or visit the CLEEN by Ecolab webpage.
