Rockwell Automation and Cytiva are jointly launching the Figurate Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system designed to remove digital bottlenecks during biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
Centralized Digital Control and Interoperability
The Figurate SCADA system utilizes an open architecture to address operational silos caused by non-communicating proprietary systems. By providing a unified digital control layer, the platform allows for real-time oversight of unit operations from a single interface, reducing manual workarounds and data integrity risks.
This platform is designed to support the industry transition toward data-driven process intensification and continuous manufacturing by resolving equipment fragmentation.
Core Technical Features
The system integrates Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk software suite with Cytiva bioprocessing hardware to provide several technical advantages:
- Built-in Interoperability: Enables seamless communication across third-party equipment and various modalities.
- Modular Scalability: Supports the transition from process development to commercial-scale manufacturing without requiring system redesign.
- Rapid Deployment: Uses pre-engineered templates and modular designs to shorten technical transfer and validation timelines.
- Operational Analytics: Provides centralized alarms, real-time monitoring, and batch reporting specifically tailored to bioprocess workflows.
Operational Efficiency and Compliance
The implementation of a streamlined digital manufacturing system is intended to reduce both capital and operational expenditures while maintaining cGMP compliance. By unifying the control layer, the system reduces the probability of human error and supports reliable scale-up for complex multi-domain operations.
