ChargePoint Technology, a powder containment and aseptic transfer valve company, has launched a smart monitoring hub to support efficiency and safety within chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. The company plans to exhibit its new VERIFi solution at ACHEMA 2018, which runs from June 11 to 15 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Contained transfer devices are critical to ensuring integrity of product handling during high potency and sterile manufacturing, enabling manufacturers to meet their product quality, operator safety, and productivity targets. With VERIFi, manufacturers have an automatic method of understanding the health status of the device allowing them to better control risk and ensure consistent integrity throughout the life-cycle of the system and its critical components.
VERIFi is connected directly onto the ChargePoint Active valve unit so continuously records data and delivers alerts to its users. Its LED display provides operators with visual feedback. Service advice allows maintenance teams to take preventative action, resulting in less downtime and improved efficiency.
Data can also be synchronized via WIFI to a secure VERIFi portal, where data is stored in the cloud for production and process managers to analyze remotely and export for further reporting.
“Meeting the increasing pressures that exist in a production environment can be a challenge, including not only managing the risks associated with Industrial Hygiene and Quality but also meeting operational efficiency targets too,” Ben Wylie, product and channel marketing manager of ChargePoint, said.
ChargePoint Technology’s other solutions include its AseptiSafe range providing increased sterility assurance for ingredient and small component transfers in aseptic processing and sterile API production. The PharmaSafe powder containment valves offer a high level of containment performance to ensure the safe handling of potent APIs, intermediates, and pharmaceutical formulations.
