"We felt, right from the start of this project, that the proposed EurothermSuite / Visual Supervisor solution could be ideally suited to meeting the requirements of the new LSL facility.
It provides capabilities normally inherent within considerably more expensive DCS solutions and represents a much lower-risk option than PLC/SCADA architectures, where computer validation and 21CFR part 11 compliance were considered more difficult.
In addition, Eurotherm demonstrated its commitment to the project by assigning highly competent project management and engineering personnel within their team.
Applications requirements were reflected accurately within high-quality design documentation fully compliant with GAMP requirements.
The attention to detail at this stage contributed to successful code implementation and customer acceptance testing."
comments Chris Southan: Lead Control and Instrumentation Engineer at Jacobs.
The Large Scale Labs solution was a typical example of a joint effort, in which Eurotherm engineers worked closely with AstraZeneca staff and Jacobs, who managed the project on behalf of AstraZeneca.
