Résumé de l’article

A breakdown of tables from the Common Data Model, used in the Composable MES for pharma.

Note

Before implementing a data model, read How to Use a Common Data Model to understand the basics of structuring tables.

Tulip's Common Data Model considers multiple industries that have different data requirements. For pharmaceutical manufacturing, use the tables listed below for a starting data schema.

The diagram below illustrates how the tables work together. Each connection represents a relationship.
Solid connections use the same fields to share data.

Common Data Model for Pharma table diagram

These tables are used in the Pharma Composable MES App Suite, available in the Tulip Library.

You should adjust the names of the tables to suit your operations as needed, as long as they align with the table's description.

These tables are a standardized starting point that you can extend further. Make sure to adapt this data model to serve your operations by renaming tables, adding tables, or editing necessary fields.

References Tables

References are a secondary table type within the Tulip Common Data Model, as they do not fit within a Digital Twin model and should only be considered by advanced users. You should only include Reference tables once you've gone through the Solution Design process and exhausted all other options. Reference tables should NEVER serve as the foundation for an app solution.
