GE Healthcare and Rockwell Automation are combining their automation, IT and single-use solution experience to build digital bioprocessing operations. The two companies will help biopharmaceutical manufacturers to create more flexible and scalable facilities, focused on faster response to market demands, further streamlined production technologies and more adaptable manufacturing environments. GE Healthcare has also joined the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork Program as an OEM Partner to help drive a distributed control system offering.
The GE Healthcare and Rockwell Automation is designed to help companies:
- Gain greater efficiencies with FlexFactory single-use equipment integrated with Figurate bioprocess automation that helps to improve reproducibility, repeatability and compliance.
- Digitize batch files and processes to help to reduce review times and even achieve real-time reviews.
- Deliver instructions to workers with augmented reality to help improve batch execution, operations, equipment setup and training.
This collaboration leverages the combined experience in single-use bioprocessing with automation and IT knowledge to turn data insights into more productive outcomes.
