Laurus Labs Reduces Calibration Deviations by 40% with GMP CAPS Software

Laurus Labs Limited is one of India's largest API and CDMO companies, with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Hyderabad producing active pharmaceutical ingredients for global markets. Managing thousands of instruments, equipment, and utilities across these facilities required a rigorous calibration and preventive maintenance program to ensure GMP compliance, product quality, and continuous operational readiness.

AmpleLogic's Calibration and Preventive Maintenance System (CAPS) was implemented to automate Laurus Labs' instrument calibration lifecycle and equipment maintenance scheduling. The platform maintained a comprehensive equipment master with calibration schedules, specifications, and historical records for each instrument. Automatic reminders ensured that calibrations were never missed, and digital calibration records with electronic signatures provided the complete audit trails required by regulatory agencies.

Preventive maintenance scheduling was optimized based on equipment criticality, usage patterns, and manufacturer recommendations. Work orders were generated automatically, assigned to qualified technicians, and tracked through completion — providing management with real-time visibility into maintenance backlog and equipment availability. Integration with the quality management system ensured that out-of-calibration findings automatically triggered deviation workflows.

Laurus Labs achieved a 40% reduction in calibration deviations and a significant improvement in overall equipment reliability. The elimination of missed calibrations and the shift from reactive to preventive maintenance reduced unplanned downtime and increased confidence in measurement data integrity — critical for an API manufacturer where analytical accuracy directly impacts product quality and regulatory compliance.
