Veeva Vault - OpenText Internet of Things Platform Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Veeva Vault and OpenText Internet of Things Platform

1. Equipment and Environmental Monitoring for GMP Document Control

Data flow: OpenText Internet of Things Platform ? Veeva Vault

Connect IoT sensors from manufacturing rooms, cold-chain storage, and laboratory environments to automatically route temperature, humidity, pressure, or vibration exceptions into Veeva Vault quality workflows. When a threshold breach occurs, the integration can create a deviation record, attach sensor evidence, and trigger review and approval by Quality Assurance teams.

Business value: Reduces manual incident logging, improves audit readiness, and helps life sciences organizations respond faster to conditions that may impact product quality or document compliance.

2. Automated Batch Record and Production Evidence Archiving

Data flow: OpenText Internet of Things Platform ? Veeva Vault

Use IoT data from production equipment to populate supporting evidence for batch records, validation packages, and manufacturing documentation stored in Veeva Vault. For example, machine run parameters, calibration readings, and process completion timestamps can be archived alongside controlled documents for release review.

Business value: Strengthens traceability, reduces paper-based evidence collection, and accelerates batch release and audit preparation.

3. Quality Event Triggering from Connected Operations

Data flow: OpenText Internet of Things Platform ? Veeva Vault

When connected devices detect anomalies such as equipment downtime, contamination risk, or out-of-spec process conditions, the IoT platform can initiate a quality event in Veeva Vault. The quality team can then manage investigation, CAPA documentation, and approval workflows in a controlled environment.

Business value: Improves response time to operational issues and ensures every event is handled through a compliant quality process.

4. Controlled Distribution of Device and Maintenance Documentation

Data flow: Veeva Vault ? OpenText Internet of Things Platform

Store approved SOPs, maintenance instructions, calibration procedures, and device operating manuals in Veeva Vault, then publish the latest approved versions to the OpenText Internet of Things Platform for use by field devices, maintenance applications, or operator dashboards. Version control ensures only current documents are available to connected operations teams.

Business value: Prevents use of outdated procedures, supports standardized maintenance execution, and reduces compliance risk.

5. Change Control for Connected Manufacturing Assets

Data flow: Bi-directional

When an IoT device firmware update, sensor replacement, or equipment configuration change is planned, OpenText Internet of Things Platform can send change details to Veeva Vault to create or update a controlled change record. After approval in Veeva Vault, the authorized change status can be sent back to the IoT platform to permit execution.

Business value: Aligns operational changes with regulated change control, reducing unauthorized modifications and improving inspection readiness.

6. Calibration and Maintenance Compliance Tracking

Data flow: OpenText Internet of Things Platform ? Veeva Vault

IoT-enabled assets can report calibration due dates, maintenance completion, and device health metrics to Veeva Vault. The integration can automatically generate reminders, attach proof of calibration, and update controlled equipment records used by Quality and Validation teams.

Business value: Helps ensure critical equipment remains in compliant operating condition and reduces the risk of missed maintenance activities.

7. Real-Time Product Integrity Monitoring for Cold Chain and Distribution

Data flow: OpenText Internet of Things Platform ? Veeva Vault

For temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals and biologics, IoT sensors in warehouses, trucks, and shipping containers can feed excursion data into Veeva Vault. If a shipment exceeds acceptable limits, the system can create a quality review case, link the affected lot documentation, and preserve the event record for regulatory review.

Business value: Protects product integrity, supports recall decisions, and provides a defensible compliance trail for distribution events.

8. Regulatory Evidence Package Assembly from Connected Assets

Data flow: OpenText Internet of Things Platform ? Veeva Vault

Aggregate sensor logs, device performance history, and operational exception data from the IoT platform into Veeva Vault to support validation, submission, or inspection packages. Regulatory and quality teams can use the archived data to demonstrate process control, equipment reliability, and documented oversight.

Business value: Speeds preparation of inspection and submission evidence while improving the consistency and completeness of regulated documentation.
