HIGHLIGHTS
- Pharmaceutical manufacturers use the AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway to collect and centralize operational data from process equipment, PLCs, controllers, sensors, meters, and other manufacturing devices.
- The gateway connects batch processing equipment, mixing systems, reactors, PLCs, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow meters, and other pharmaceutical plant equipment into a unified data collection environment.
- Multi-protocol connectivity enables integration between pharmaceutical equipment, PLC systems, SCADA platforms, and cloud monitoring applications.
- Edge data processing supports real-time batch data acquisition, local processing, event detection, and data logging—even during network interruptions.
- Secure remote connectivity allows production teams to monitor batch parameters, equipment status, process conditions, energy data, and manufacturing equipment from centralized locations.
The Challenge – Managing Pharmaceutical Batch Data
Pharmaceutical manufacturing involves multiple process stages, equipment systems, instruments, and control devices that continuously generate process and batch-related data. Maintaining centralized visibility across these systems is important for monitoring manufacturing conditions and equipment operation.
Collecting information from different pharmaceutical production systems and making it available through a centralized monitoring platform can be challenging without a dedicated industrial data connectivity layer.
Distributed Batch Data
Process equipment, PLCs, sensors, meters, and controllers generate batch-related data across different manufacturing areas.
Limited Centralized Visibility
Production teams may not have a single view of process parameters, equipment status, and operating conditions across different batch stages.
Multiple Process Systems
Different pharmaceutical machines, controllers, instruments, and equipment may use different communication protocols and interfaces.
Batch Monitoring Gaps
Temperature, pressure, flow, level, equipment status, and other process parameters may need to be collected from multiple sources before they can be analyzed centrally.
Delayed Process Event Detection
Equipment faults, parameter deviations, process events, or communication failures may not be immediately visible to the central production team.
Disconnected Monitoring Systems
Batch and process data may remain separated from SCADA, cloud dashboards, production monitoring, and centralized plant management applications.
