We chose the Accruent solution to support the rapid adoption of 3D modeling tools by the industry and our customers. The seamless integration between Meridian and SolidWorks allows us to provide our customer with much more intelligent design while easily managing changes to this information."— Bill Eager, Drawing Management Senior Engineer
During the split from Abbott, AbbVie had to decide whether to copy, continue to use, implement new, or utilize an alternate for each of the 130 corporate engineering IT applications. The company needed an engineering platform that was centralized, could be rolled out quickly globally, and addressed standardization requirements. Some of the challenges included:
Meridian provides us with the tools to maintain FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and ensure current good manufacturing practices, resulting in reduced risks and more streamlined audits.”— Bill Eager, Drawing Management Senior Engineer
Because of the successful use of Meridian at Abbott, the AbbVie team decided to clone Abbott’s instance of Meridian and create a standardized version to be rolled out, centralized, and integrated with IBM Maximo across all global manufacturing sites. Today, over 625 AbbVie employees across departments use Meridian to access and manage more than 300,000 CAD drawings and other files such as vendor catalogs, equipment supply manuals, P&IDs, and asset metadata.
Meridian manages our critical asset information for plant locations worldwide, allowing us to standardize and consolidate applications globally. This helps us to maintain consistent business processes and lowers the costs involved in having separate infrastructures around the world.”
The ongoing global rollout and centralization of Meridian allows AbbVie to share documents and align business processes across manufacturing sites worldwide. AbbVie now maintains vital compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 throughout the drawing and asset lifecycle, and the IBM Maximo integration provides smooth access to critical asset data for Maintenance.
