Can you afford to miss the event that assembles 300 process industry engineers and managers, their contractors and suppliers, to learn, share best practice and network with colleagues in the industry?
Manufacturing Excellence will be a major success
The process industry conference discussing "Manufacturing Excellence through Automation and Asset Management" is on track for being a bigger and better event than last year, exceeding 300 delegates
"The alliance is aimed at extending our automation technology and service offerings into the manufacturing and business operations of the pharmaceutical and biotech enterprise," commented Joe Hoare.
"Ireland, and Cork in particular, is a major centre for new build and plant expansion projects for these industries.
Cork has one of the world's largest installed bases of PlantWeb digital architecture with DeltaV automation systems.
These factors make Cork, as well as other Life Science industry centres across Europe, key areas for integrating, connecting and automating the many fragmented computer applications and manual paper based processes that delay production, present compliance risks and reduce profits." The DMI technology and service offering is designed for any pharmaceutical application that is regulated by FDA or other Government agencies.
Companies operating in this industry often find that the associated administration and documentation required for regulatory compliance results in a huge volume of unmanageable paperwork.
The DMI Compliance Suite of Software Applications is designed for Bulk API, Product Packaging, Cell Therapy and Medical Device manufacturing operations, where global regulatory oversight is required.
Companies operating in these areas find that the associated administration and regulatory control documentation results in a large volume of difficult to manage paperwork.
Emerson plans to leverage many pre-configured features and functions for these manufacturers, to drive 30% or more cost out of the production operations.
As a.NET framework solution, the DMI Compliance suite has zero software to be maintained on the client user device regardless of whether it is a desktop, handheld or tablet PC.
The Windows Internet Explorer browser detects and adjusts the display of information automatically without an individual custom code for each user device.
This represents a 35-40% reduction in the total cost of ownership.
Companies that are interested in the benefits of the Emerson PlantWeb solution and its integration with the DMI Compliance Suite of paperless workflow applications can work with Emerson to identify potential operational bottlenecks.
Solutions can then be tailored to budgets and resources, to allow the transition to more operationally efficient methods to take place without major disruption to a facility.
"Emerson will combine its pharmaceutical industry expertise, engineering resources and project management capabilities, as well as its PlantWeb digital plant architecture, with the DMI web-based suite of workflow and compliance software applications," concluded Joe Hoare.
"This package will provide our customers in the pharmaceutical industry in particular, with a real opportunity to save time, reduce costs and sustain regulatory rule compliance.".
