Data integrity in cleanroom monitoring

The FDA uses the abbreviation ALCOA and its extensions to describe its concept of data integrity. The EU has regulated electronic signatures in Regulation 910/2014. Both concepts are explained. Potential weaknesses in the integrity of monitoring data are also discussed.

Security concepts for building automation networks

With the rise of Bitcoin, the digital internet currency, blockchain technology suddenly became a hype. Internet giants are planning their own digital cryptocurrencies and threatening the traditional world of reserve currencies and banks. Away from these megatrends, SAUTER is taking a completely different approach and is aiming for a "peaceful" use of blockchain technology by protecting the data and processes of building automation.

Pharma/biotech robotics: so much more than just logistics

The real added value of robotics in production plants lies in productivity and product safety. The natural trend towards automation through the use of a robotic solution often relates to logistical tasks: Depalletizing, palletizing, transporting material between different locations. However, in pharma/biotech production facilities, there are many challenging and ground-breaking tasks that can be solved with creative robotic solutions, [...]

Presentation of a Fast Track Brown Field Project in Biotech

Two additional production lines of 16 tons of immunoglobulins per year are created. CSL Behring is expanding its production capacity in Berne to meet the high demand for immunoglobulin products. The project, called Protinus, is being realized at the Wankdorf site. It includes the construction of a multi-storey building with two production lines. The new building will be connected to the [...]

Fully automated and validatable decontamination processes

The basis of the pharmaceutical industry is the GMP-compliant (Good Manufacturing Practice) production of sterile and high-quality products. The aseptic production of parenterals must take place under controlled process conditions, which is why effective and tested disinfection processes are required to minimize the bacterial contamination of surfaces (bioburden). Due to the high time expenditure and the risk of insufficient [...]
