DeltaV™ Spectral Process Analytic Technology (PAT)
Bringing in real-time multivariate analysis to unlock fully automated manufacturing for improved speed-to-market.
Life Sciences manufacturers are under more pressure than ever to deliver treatments quickly and cost-effectively around the globe. With the world’s new focus on rapid results, gone are the days when the product could sit in work-in-progress (WIP) for days, weeks, or even months, waiting on lab testing for quality validation.
DeltaV™ Spectral PAT brings stability and performance by bringing spectral waveform data directly into the control system. By implementing in-line, real-time, continuous, closed-loop process verification and control with an automated real-time quality release, manufacturers build a foundation for better regulatory management more easily while optimizing facility performance and throughput.
DeltaV Spectral PAT runs chemometric models directly in the control system, allowing real-time prediction of critical quality attributes. This means that you can now monitor and perform closed-loop control with these hard-to-measure critical values. DeltaV systems have built-in solutions to show and document safe, accurate, repeatable processes. Demonstrating these technologies can give regulatory groups the confidence they need to support this new approach to improve manufacturing performance.
DeltaV Spectral PAT is easier to implement and maintain by leveraging a standard DeltaV configuration, database, and support infrastructure used by your other control applications. Working in a single, integrated DeltaV platform environment enhances the system’s security and simplifies your process validation.
Traditional implementation of PAT using spectroscopy can be challenging to implement and maintain, mainly when critical quality measurements are used in closed-loop control strategies. Using spectral analyzers from on-line product samples, DeltaV Spectral PAT’s modern machine learning algorithms and embedded chemometric models can accurately predict product quality for use as on-line quality soft sensors.
