How Laboratórios Bagó Reduced Batch Release Time from 3 Days to 1 with Actiz LIMS

About Laboratórios Bagó: Innovation and Quality in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Founded in 1934 in Argentina and with consolidated operations in Brazil since 2002, Grupo Bagó is a leading name in the pharmaceutical industry, recognized for its innovation and forward-thinking vision. With a modern manufacturing plant in Colatina (ES), Laboratórios Bagó do Brasil develops, produces, and markets a broad portfolio of medications including antibiotics, anxiolytics, and anti-inflammatories, with a rigorous commitment to quality, efficacy, and patient well-being.

The Challenge: Operational Bottlenecks in Manual Quality Control

Before implementing Actiz LIMS, Laboratórios Bagó’s Quality Control laboratory faced significant challenges that impacted efficiency and agility. Processes were predominantly manual, with paper records and spreadsheet-based calculations.

This Approach Resulted In:

Low operational efficiency: excessive physical documentation consumed valuable time from the technical team.

Delay risks: inventory control of supplies was manual, which frequently caused delays in procurement and impacted the testing schedule.

Traceability difficulties: decentralized management of methods, specifications, and training records compromised information integration and reliability.

These factors made it clear that digital transformation was essential to standardize processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and optimize productivity.

The Solution: Automation and Centralized Management with Actiz LIMS

To overcome these obstacles, Laboratórios Bagó implemented Actiz LIMS, a laboratory information management system designed for the pharmaceutical industry. The platform digitalized and integrated the entire quality control routine.

The Solution Enabled:

• Complete workflow digitalization: replacing paper records with a centralized system, optimizing analysts’ time and reducing the chance of errors.
• Inventory control automation: implementing automatic alerts for restocking supplies, ensuring smooth testing operations.
• Integrated document management: centralizing methods, specifications, and training records, making access, traceability, and compliance easier.

Results: Productivity and Organization in Record Time

With less than a year of using Actiz LIMS, the gains were significant. Centralizing information brought more organization and control, allowing the team to focus more on technical activities.

• 200% increase in productivity: daily batch release capacity jumped from an average of 2 to as many as 6 batches per day.
• Up to 66% reduction in release time: a process that used to take 2 to 3 days is now completed in a maximum of 1 to 2 days.
• Efficient inventory control: automated supply management became more precise, avoiding interruptions and delays in the workflow.
• Traceability and security: full digitalization of records eliminated rework and increased data reliability for audits and regulatory compliance.
