Lyophilization model can help optimize freeze-drying steps for continuous manufacturing processes, according to MIT researchers.

This article overviews some of the benefits and methods of state-based control as it applies to the models defined by the ISA106, Procedure Automation for Continuous Process Operations standards ...

Although some aspects of process validation for continuous processes are the same as those for traditional batch processes, there are some unique considerations. Although some aspects of process ...

Continuous manufacturing is finally gaining traction in the pharmaceutical industry, but development of the necessary production technologies is, fittingly, a continuous process. Ultimately, the drawn ...

Continuous process environments tend to be stable — until they’re not. When that happens, the consequences can be catastrophic. Continuous process environments tend to be stable — until they’re not.

Anything that you do well is worth doing better over time. The term "continuous improvement" describes a process practiced by quality engineers but it speaks to something that every conscientious ...

Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) this week announced a new version of its Experion distributed control system (DCS) that is designed specifically for small- and mid-sized manufacturers. The Experion ...

The continuous casting process is a fundamental operation in modern steel production, whereby molten metal is solidified into semi-finished billets, blooms or slabs. Optimisation of the associated ...
