The newly developed, purpose-driven product line of Emerson’s DeltaV Automation Platform connects the entire range of operations from research and development to commercial manufacturing—bringing life-saving therapies to patients faster. The platform also accounts for the specific needs of the process industry by seamlessly integrating control valves to ensure precise regulation of critical process parameters.
Emerson, a leading company in industrial technology with advanced automation solutions, enables manufacturers to achieve seamless data mobility through its new suite of life sciences software integrated into the DeltaV™ Automation Platform. This software suite supports automation from the earliest stages of formulation development to commercial manufacturing. Notably, it facilitates the connection and monitoring of smart industrial valves—such as hygienic control valves and aseptic shut-off valves—which are essential in sterile pharmaceutical production.
Increased Efficiency Through End-to-End Integration of Field Devices
Traditional development processes for new therapies are often manual and fragmented. Life sciences companies invest considerable time and money transferring data across various applications. In this context, industrial valves play a vital role—their precise control is crucial for product consistency, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Enhanced Data Utilization via Integrated Platform Architecture
Emerson’s life sciences software suite is fully embedded in the DeltaV automation platform. It streamlines the connection of critical components—including digital valve technology—throughout the development and commercialization pipeline. Tools like the DeltaV Tech Transfer Hub allow recipe data to be efficiently transferred between systems without losing essential valve configurations or status information.
Control Valves as a Pillar of Operational Excellence
“Easier integration of critical technologies into the treatment development pipeline is key to unlocking the five value drivers of life sciences,” said Nathan Pettus, President of Emerson’s Process Systems and Solutions business. The comprehensive integration of automated industrial valves into the platform architecture supports operational integrity, real-time release, and sustainable production.
Future-Proof Infrastructure Through Standardized Interfaces
The unified data structure enabled by Emerson’s AspenTech Inmation™ real-time data platform simplifies integration of the entire software suite—including all valve-related components. This reduces configuration effort and integration costs while enhancing digital transparency and control throughout the entire production process.
