How software can support configuration, data collection, and analysis in the pharmaceutical industry

Posted on by

In the pharmaceutical industry, data is not used solely for operational monitoring. It is the foundation for decision-making, traceability, regulatory compliance, and audits. In this context, simply collecting information is not enough: it is essential to ensure data integrity, security, historical records, and reliability throughout the entire data lifecycle. 

This is exactly where specialized software for configuration, data collection, and analysis comes into play, such as NXperience and its validated version, NXperience Trust, developed by NOVUS. 

NXperience: configuration, data collection, and analysis in a single environment 

NXperience is a configuration, data collection, and analysis software designed for the NOVUS line of wireless transmitters and data loggers. It allows users to fully explore all device features and resources, communicating via USB, TCP-IP, and NOVUS Cloud, according to the architecture adopted by the user. 

It is a complete tool for industrial data management, enabling: 

  • Individual or combined graphical analysis of multiple data points; 
  • Alarm processing and visualization; 
  • Visualization of device positioning maps; 
  • Execution of mathematical calculations on collected data; 
  • Report generation and data export to multiple formats. 

In addition, NXperience offers device-specific diagnostics and commissioning tools,  making testing, validation, and fault detection easier during both the deployment phase and ongoing operation. 

NXperience Trust: focus on validation, security, and regulatory compliance for the pharmaceutical sector 

For markets that require strict control over data and processes — such as the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors — NOVUS developed NXperience Trust. 

NXperience Trust is a validated software designed for regulated environments that require ease of use, information security, and full traceability. 

With it, users can configure and collect data from NOVUS data loggers, supported by advanced data analysis and visualization features, combined with robust access control and audit mechanisms. 

Key differentiators of NXperience Trust (in addition to those already present in the standard NXperience) include: 

  • User authentication with password validity control; 
  • Encrypted electronic data records; 
  • Complete application event logging (Audit Trail); 
  • Full traceability for internal and external audits. 

The software meets the technical requirements of ANVISA and FDA 21 CFR Part 11, supporting the validation of computerized systems in regulated environments. 

Improvements implemented in NXperience Trust in 2025 

Released on October 22, 2025, the new version of NXperience Trust introduced significant enhancements focused on security, traceability, performance, and usability, especially for regulated environments. 

  • Use of standard NXperience without administrator permissions
    The standard NXperience can now be used without administrative privileges, facilitating daily user access and reducing dependency on IT departments for routine operations, without compromising system security. 
  • NXperience Trust installation with administrative control
    To preserve the integrity of validated environments, installing NXperience Trust still requires administrator permissions, ensuring proper control over versions, configurations, and structural system changes. 
  • New database system in NXperience Trust
    The implementation of a new database improves data organization and reliability while directly enhancing software performance, particularly in applications with large volumes of historical data. 
  • Electronic signature for critical actions
    The inclusion of electronic signatures ensures that sensitive actions are formally attributed to a specific user, increasing control, traceability, and regulatory compliance. 
  • Dual electronic signature for reports (user and supervisor)
    Reports now require two electronic signatures, reinforcing segregation of duties and aligning with best practices required by standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11. 
  • Report preview before dual signature
    Before finalization, the system allows a full report preview, reducing errors, avoiding rework, and ensuring data accuracy before formal validation. 
  • New dedicated audit log screen
    A new interface centralizes and organizes system event logs, making audits, inspections, and internal analyses clearer and more efficient. 
  • Detailed parameter change records
    Parameter changes are now logged in the format “Parameter changed from X to Y”, providing full traceability and simplifying compliance verification during audits. 
  • Improvements to the SMTP message field in AirGate Air+
    Enhancements to the SMTP message field make notifications clearer and more reliable, improving communication of events and alarms. 
  • New configuration creation screen
    The new interface simplifies and organizes the configuration creation process, making the software more intuitive and reducing operational errors. 
  • Performance optimization in data file read and write operations
    Internal optimizations reduce processing time and increase system efficiency, especially in applications with large volumes of continuously collected data. 

Greater security and reliability for regulated environments 

With NXperience and NXperience Trust, NOVUS delivers a complete platform for data configuration, collection, analysis, and validation, serving both general industrial applications and highly regulated environments. 

The combination of advanced technical features, strong compliance focus, and continuous improvements makes NXperience Trust a strategic tool for companies that need to make decisions based on reliable, auditable, and secure data.
