The newly defined ConsiGma 4.0 modules can be used to transform an individual unit operation (e.g., granulation) from batch to a stand-alone, continuous operation. The system uses advanced process control software and the company’s newly developed Conductor 4.0 control system, which is compatible with supervisory control and data acquisition systems and connects to the Industrial Internet of Things.
Although the system is configurable, standard, core elements are available “off-the-shelf.” Standardization or mass customization makes continuous manufacturing equipment more affordable for a wider range of users and expedites delivery.
