Specialized Process Automation Projects for the Pharma Industry
Introduction — Pharma Process Automation
Dhyan Automation & Machinery is a specialist provider of process automation projects for the pharmaceutical industry in India. We deliver solutions that adhere to the stringent regulatory standards of the pharma sector, including 21 CFR Part 11. Our expertise lies in automating critical processes like batch manufacturing, formulation, clean-in-place (CIP) systems, and packaging. By leveraging precise control systems, SCADA, and data acquisition technology, we help pharma companies improve batch consistency, ensure data integrity, reduce manual errors, and maintain comprehensive audit trails. Our projects are designed to enhance product quality, safety, and compliance, making us a trusted partner for pharma automation.
Project Process Flow in a Pharma Environment
Executing an automation project in the pharmaceutical industry requires meticulous planning and documentation. Our process begins with a detailed User Requirement Specification (URS) to capture all process and compliance needs. We then develop a Functional Design Specification (FDS) for the control system. Our solutions are built using industry-grade hardware and validated software. A key focus is on features mandated by regulations, such as electronic signatures, audit trails, and secure data logging. The system undergoes rigorous Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), followed by Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) to ensure it performs exactly as designed and meets all regulatory requirements.
