Exception-Based Review with AI for Pharmaceutical Batch Records

Reviewing every page of a batch record is one of the most time-consuming activities in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This video demonstrates how Mareana uses AI, confidence scoring, and intelligent exception detection to direct QA teams to the records that require attention, enabling faster, more focused, and compliant batch review.

About this Video

With Mareana, you can digitize paper batch records, automatically validate extracted data against predefined limits, identify structured and unstructured exceptions, route low-confidence data for human verification, compare annotations against SOPs and master batch records, and enable AI-powered review by exception to accelerate quality review.

What You'll Learn

Discover how AI-powered exception-based review helps pharmaceutical manufacturers reduce manual batch record review by automatically identifying deviations, validating extracted data, and directing QA reviewers to the information that requires action.

Automatically validate extracted data using confidence scoring and predefined quality limits

Detect structured and unstructured exceptions, including handwritten notes and strikeouts

Focus QA expertise on critical exceptions instead of reviewing every page manually

AI is a superior way to digitise paper batch records because it understands both the context and structure of the data coming from disparate sources. To ensure accuracy and maintain a human-in-the-loop, Mareana uses a confidence scoring mechanism that unlocks the doors for exception-based review.

After the data is digitised, Mareana checks every value against predefined ranges. When a value is within range and the system is confident in its extraction, that field can be accepted automatically..

Since the accuracy is high and the limits are met, QA reviewers can safely bypass these entries. A flag is raised if a value falls outside the allowed range. As the extraction confidence is high, these deviations are sent to QA for immediate corrective actio

0:45 - 1:00

The system also triggers a flag if it has low confidence in its own reading. This ensures that every uncertain extraction receives human verification. Specialised AI agents also look for unstructured exceptions like margin notes or strikeouts.

The platform compares these notes against master batch records and SOPs to determine if they require further justification. For example, it can verify if a documented time extension stays within a validated threshold.

This workflow directs the reviewer straight to these identified flags. The reviewer verifies the exceptions the system found based on the provided evidence. This allows the team to focus their expertise on the data that requires action rather than searching through every page of the record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mareana has helped numerous firms in the Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Medical Device, and Industrial Manufacturing industries.

Exception-based review is a quality assurance approach where reviewers focus only on data that requires attention instead of manually checking every field. AI automatically validates high-confidence, in-range values while flagging exceptions, helping QA teams reduce review time without compromising compliance.

AI digitises paper batch records, understands the context of structured and unstructured data, and evaluates extraction confidence. It automatically accepts accurate, in-range values while sending low-confidence or out-of-range data to QA reviewers, making the review process faster and more efficient.

Confidence scoring allows AI to measure how certain it is about each extracted value. High-confidence data that meets predefined limits can be accepted automatically, while low-confidence extractions are flagged for human verification to ensure data accuracy and regulatory compliance.

AI checks extracted values against predefined ranges and uses specialised AI agents to detect unstructured exceptions such as handwritten notes, strikeouts, and annotations. It also compares these findings with master batch records and SOPs to determine whether further review or justification is required.

No. AI supports a human-in-the-loop workflow by automating routine validation while directing QA reviewers to exceptions that need expert judgement. This enables reviewers to focus on deviations, low-confidence extractions, and compliance-critical decisions instead of reviewing every page manually.

AI-powered exception-based review improves efficiency by reducing manual review effort, accelerating batch record verification, increasing data accuracy through confidence scoring, identifying structured and unstructured exceptions, and helping QA teams focus on high-risk issues while maintaining regulatory compliance.
