In pharmaceutical companies, alarms are critical to the health of a room—and the viability of the product being manufactured there. Alarms, as part of the Control System, provide detailed information such as what day, time, how long, and if there was any product being made in that room when the alarms occurred. However, the Control System is typically in a separate room or secure part of the facility, where not everyone can have access to it—for many good reasons. But what if others can benefit from access to some of the data or the amalgamation of that data?
To address this challenge, the Control Associates Data Management team created an integration between the Control System and the industry’s widely accepted Data Historian tool.

This pharma company had been looking to benchmark its current batches against a ‘gold standard’ in terms of duration time for each step in their manufacturing process. They wanted to go beyond a post-batch analysis in order to compare current batches with their ideal batch—at any point in the process. To accomplish this, Control Associates needed to first store the golden batch data and then develop a way that allowed this customer to perform ad hoc reporting—on demand and on the fly. In addition, this customer also needed to view the data not only as a report, but also in real-time on their DeltaV™ control system. Read the full story to learn more.

Dissimilar systems, orphaned data, and limited tools to properly analyze R&D data. Sound familiar? The Data Management team at Control Associates has been hearing this challenge among our Life Sciences customers for a decade or more. This is an enormous problem for the industry because siloed data leads to the inability to gain much needed insights from your process development activity. And that problem further leads to a slowdown of the commercialization process.

Pro-Tech’s customer was having difficulty controlling the primary and secondary chilled water loops within its cooling system. The chilled water flows were frequently oscillating far above and below their temperature and flow rate setpoints, causing frequent, rapid loading and unloading of the chilled water pumps and chillers. The facility was forced to ramp up its flow setpoint in order to achieve the desired cooling performance—despite the system’s extreme fluctuations. The combination of rapid equipment cycling with the elevated setpoint meant that our customer was using far more energy than necessary to operate the facility.
