Factorian Edge Cloud: Case for a modern, open, fast, scalable and highly available factory historian for process data
If you are managing a pharmaceutical, chemical or any process manufacturing operations and wanted to collect data from your process machines and operations, chances are you are either dependent on vendor of the process machine to access your data, its archival or backup. Often the data portability strategy is missing from vendors’ offering or data…

Machine data access without stress!
Streaming data access from industrial machines has traditionally always been a very tedious and stressful affair that not only involves tons of components to manage but also involves complex coordination with instrumentation or automation engineers, networking engineers and site or corporate IT. Building of these data access pipelines that pushes data from machine sensors all…

Why cGMP manufacturing needs a new age cloud-native edge computing and event driven data infrastructure in Industry 4.0 paradigm?
As more automation drives processes and continuous manufacturing replaces traditional manual batch manufacturing, access to real-time streaming data will become critical to pharmaceutical, biologics and speciality fine chemical manufacturing operations. A basic data landscape for operations and activities that currently exists in various divisions within these industries is shown in figure 1. Figure 1: Process…

Sensor-to-sense: striving to make this journey as easy and smooth as possible!
Following up on our earlier article titled “Edgy Cloud: Best of both worlds for batch manufacturing informatics” where we presented a high-level overview how computing is evolving and why computing on-premise at the edge make sense for many manufacturing domains, here in this article we present a little more granular detail on how we envision…

Edgy Cloud: Best of both worlds for batch manufacturing informatics
Life is driven by rhythms. Everything in this world seems to be cyclic/periodic in nature. In doing so each cycle comes with its own past learnings and improvements and vastly changes us and our lives for better. All of us with life-sciences background know this evolutionary process. Computing industry also seems to be following this…
