The portable systems are completely enclosed and therefore
fully compliant from a regulatory standpoint, which
is essential for sensitive pharmaceutical environments
like cleanrooms. Eliminating the wires means removing
integrity compromises and contamination caused by
connecting and reconnecting systems to move the workstation.
Each unit can do everything a stationary system
can do while remaining mobile, which reduces both
infrastructure cost and deployment complexity over a
desk-based system.
Tip 5 - Custom Solutions
When All Else Fails
Mobile workstations are increasingly popular in pharmaceutical manufacturing
environments since the units can be used where needed and
then moved out of the way.
several shifts before requiring a recharge, enabling full nonstop
mobile operation over a 24-hour period.
Wi-Fi capability is built into the workstations to allow for
uninterrupted wireless communication in all corners of
the laboratory, cleanroom, and factory. In addition, most
advanced pharmaceutical
facilities
today have Wi-Fibased
system backbones connected to legacy subsystems,
meaning the workstation can communicate directly with
the facility's server.
" With no cables to be disconnected, managed, and reconnected,
and with no break in any live or critical connections
to re-establish, pharmaceutical manufacturers can save
time and significantly increase productivity, " says Shu.
When standard catalogue options are insufficient, custom
solutions can be required to fit into tight spaces or hallways.
To do this, the equipment must often be customized as to
the size, inputs, communication connections, mounting,
battery types, and other factors.
Although the leading process automation equipment
providers offer computing solutions, the options are limited.
In addition, they are not typically flexible enough to provide
custom computing system component solutions since this
is not their core competency.
" Most providers offer basic monitors and workstations,
but if there are specific space constraints or other design
changes, they are not able to create new solutions or make
minor changes to existing products, " says Shu.
In contrast, ARISTA has serviced the pharmaceutical
industry for more than ten years and developed a broad
range of products during this time. The company has a
strong track record and capability to customize products to
meet necessary process specifications.
" If there are unique requirements due to space constraints,
we meet with the pharmaceutical manufacturer to fully
understand the situation and design a solution, " says Shu.
" In six to eight months, we can deliver the first articles for
approval, and begin production of the equipment. "
