Bioprocessing Automation and Control Software

Bioprocesses are inherently variable and therefore maintaining conditions on a unit operation within a desired range requires carefully adjusting control parameters or actuators. Keeping a skid under optimal conditions is often labor intensive and necessitates extensive workforce training. As a result of these manual interventions, product quality may differ from run to run.

Automation and control software reduces manual tasks and risk of errors which, in turn, increases process reproducibility, and optimizes uptime. Because control software securely acquires, stores, and manages the system’s data, the data are readily available for process monitoring, analysis, and decision-making. As automation and control software often requires unique usernames and passwords and automatically maintains a timestamped audit trail, regulatory compliance regarding the integrity and reliability of data is simplified.
