Imagine driving the wrong direction for hundreds of miles after a wrong turn, simply because you didn’t notice missing the exit. Overlooked deviations can cause a lot of frustration, whether during a drive or while executing a batch of pharmaceuticals. Detecting and...
For many E&P companies considering field automation, it may seem that installing a SCADA system will provide all the information, alarms and control you need to reach your goals, including boosting production and reducing costs. And SCADA does help, but not nearly...
At the Biomanufacturing World Summit, Emerson’s Ron Rossbach presented on using digitalization and data integration to help drive operational efficiency. A key enabling technology for these performance gains is in real-time adaptive scheduling. This technology combines finite scheduling with dynamic updates from existing shop-floor execution systems to optimize operations. In 2018 Emerson acquired BioG, the leading provider of adaptive scheduling software, which is now being adopted across the industry.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) outlines the drug development process in five steps: Discovery and development Preclinical research Clinical trials FDA review FDA post-market safety monitoring I caught up with Emerson's Zuwei Jin whom you may recall from...
In this 2:25 YouTube video, Address Cell Therapy Batch Production Challenges with Syncade, Emerson’s Michalle Adkins shares how operations management technology plays an important role in addressing these challenges.
Author: Jonathan Lustri Almost all Life Sciences manufacturing execution system (MES) projects include an interface to SAP, the enterprise resource management system. This interface is strategic in that this is how the business and production are tied together. It...
Author: Jonathan Lustri I have previously been interviewed and written about a process control and MES [Manufacturing Execution Systems] architecture where the batch control logic within the process control system is the single procedural engine. It drives procedural...
Yesterday we highlighted advancements in exception management technology for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers. Exception management is one element in an electronic batch record (EBR). Other elements for the EBR which also have high data integrity...
Exceptions in batch manufacturing processes are the deviations that occur outside the prescribed specifications. For pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers, quality and manufacturing personnel must review these exceptions. Traditionally, this quality...
We conclude our series on improving cell therapy manufacturing with a closer look at the review by exception process. In the manufacturing process of cell therapeutics, product cycle times are extremely short and any exceptions occurring during the production process...
Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers seek to improve both project and operational performance through implementation of smart factory technology. The smart factory fits right into the S95 enterprise automation model and provides out-of-box manufacturing...
Manufacturing processes have long been paper-based with log entries, initialing, signoffs and other transactions to manually record. While automation systems have captured some of this manual recordkeeping, they have not been able to capture everything. In batch...
