A new generation of cybersafe Process Control Systems for operator-less industrial operations

Process Control Systems or PCS are the brain of irradiation solutions. They are the interface between the integrated machines and operators and service teams, but also the guarantor of a safe and compliant process, according to the latest regulations. 

As the irradiation process is more and more efficient and integrated in the manufacturing scheme of medical manufacturers, a new approach was needed to meet all industrial requirements and to be future proof. Cybersecurity is also an important and increasing concerns, while remote and predictive maintenance requires safe transfer and storage of data and recipe.

In this paper, we present a fully redesigned PCS, ready for all challenges above. The new development is crafted with a user-centric mindset, simplifying the production steps without any quality compromise. The user experience is an outcome of the intuitive interfaces and user-friendly features as the production time planification, multiple accelerators and multiple energies control, production parametric release and a safe transfer of the variable scan patterns from the irradiation simulation station to the accelerator control system.

The new release represents a paradigm shift in industrial automation, offering a holistic approach to enhance operational efficiency, optimize resource utilization, and streamline logistic processes. With a focus on interoperability and adaptability, the system ensures a harmonious integration of accelerator, conveyor, dosimetry components, fostering a cohesive and intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. 

Join us to discover this transformative solution, about to revolutionize the way irradiation users manage and control their processes, from production lines to distribution.
