Partnership between Bizerba and Körber Creates Added Value for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Balingen, Germany, 07/22/2025

| Bizerba, one of the world’s leading providers of industrial weighing technology, is now a technology partner in Körber’s PAS-X Weigh & Dispense program. This collaboration simplifies the integration of weighing solutions into digital production processes and delivers tangible added value for pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide.

Accurate weighing of raw materials and intermediates is a key component in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Whether during formulation, dispensing, or final packaging – maximum precision, full traceability, and regulatory compliance are essential requirements. For many years, Bizerba has offered industry-specific weighing technologies precisely tailored to these needs.

Seamless Integration for Greater Efficiency in the Weighing Process

Thanks to the partnership with Körber, connecting Bizerba scales to PAS-X MES—one of the world’s leading Manufacturing Execution Systems for the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors—has become significantly easier. The standardized interface enables smooth integration into MES-supported weighing and dispensing processes.

“Our high-performance weighing technology is a reliable component of pharmaceutical production environments,” says Fred Köhler, Managing Director of the Business Unit Industry at Bizerba. “By partnering with Körber, we now enable seamless integration between our industrial scales and PAS-X MES for weighing and dispensing operations. This provides our customers with direct digital control of the weighing process—with fewer manual interventions and maximum process security. That’s a real benefit for day-to-day production: precise, efficient, and fully compliant.”

Körber also highlights the customer benefits of the collaboration:
“This partnership brings significant added value to our joint pharmaceutical customers by greatly simplifying the integration of PAS-X MES with Bizerba’s weighing portfolio via a standardized interface,” says Lars Hornung, Senior Principal Alliances & Technology Partners Software at Körber Business Area Pharma. “It is part of Körber’s broader strategy to build a strong technology ecosystem around PAS-X MES—enabling our customers to implement modern system architectures with standard interfaces more quickly and accelerate their digital transformation.”
