  • Data Integrity in Life Sciences Podcast

    For pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers, the data that accompanies the production is as critical as what is being produced. The integrity of this data is paramount for the successful release of the products for sale that comply with all regulatory requirements. In this Emerson Automation Experts podcast , Michalle Adkins and Hilary Mills-Baker join me to discuss the challenges of achieving the required…

  • Retrofitting a New Transmitter to an Existing Micro Motion™︎ Coriolis Flow Meter Adds New Capabilities

    Most of us know someone who carries a really old smartphone, or maybe just a cellphone. Some people do this deliberately as a statement, but others just can’t be bothered with doing an upgrade. Everybody doesn’t need the latest whiz-bang technology, but many truly useful capabilities don’t work on old platforms. Such can be the reality in many industrial environments, where the pinnacle of achievement for some is still…

  • Driving Operational Improvements with a Rugged PAT Model Infrastructure

    Real-time manual sampling has been a tried-and-true manufacturing practice for decades. But this antiquated approach has been subject to the risk of human error, time-sensitive, and time-consuming. Today’s digital technologies have enabled manufacturers to automate and improve this process. At the IFPAC-2023 meeting , Emerson’s Bruce Greenwald and Aspen Technology’s Geir Rune Flåten teamed together to present, Deploying…

  • Life Sciences Single-Use Instrumentation Trends

    For most industries, scaling up with large batch sizes and high-volume production equipment is the best way to gain efficiency. This has also been true for production of many life sciences drugs, but portions of the industry are shifting toward creating smaller runs of “personalized drugs,” especially biologics, targeting smaller population segments. In our June 2023 article in Pharmaceutical Processing World , titled…

  • Unshackle Innovation with One Click Tech Transfer

    Most people have heard the adage that, “COVID changed everything.” However, few people, when presented with that idea, think that any of those changes were positive. But we often forget that in the span of eight short months, the world saw a wide array of innovators and manufacturers come together to deliver a vaccine—a process that typically takes upwards of 15 years. In his recent article in Industry Week magazine…

  • Life Sciences Digital Maturity – Know Where You Are to Know Where You Can Go

    To know where you’re going, you have to know where you are, and operating a life sciences manufacturing facility is no exception. Pharmaceutical processors regularly have to take stock of their technological capacity to keep a finger on the pulse of the four main drivers of operational excellence: Pipeline acceleration – the capability to quickly bring new products to market. Flexible manufacturing – maintaining…
