Adopting a custom automation solution does not have to mean adopting
proprietary standards and formats. TTP LabTech design solutions which use
familiar technologies:
- intranet-based applications
- e-mail notification
- MS Office applications
Custom solutions can still be practical. By incorporating off-the-shelf
instrumentation and labware wherever possible, costs are contained and
training and maintenance simplified.
Innovative processes can lead to difficulties in technology transfer to
manufacturing sites. For process characterisation and clinical batch
manufacturing, a custom small batch machine offers a stepping-stone between
laboratory and manufacturing plant. This can prove the ideal opportunity to
develop process knowledge before committing to large-scale automation.
Process-specific commercial manufacturing equipment is a significant
capital investment. TTP LabTech has worked with clients to move from a
laboratory-scale novel pharmaceutical process to a unique commercial-scale
machine.
