Emerson and Integra collaborate on continuous manufacturing

Published: 17-Sep-2020

The two companies aim to quicken adoption of continuous manufacturing processes throughout the industry

Emerson has signed a joint commercialization agreement with Integra CMS to provide comprehensive technologies and services for continuous processes.

Integra CMS will be responsible for defining requirements, process parameters, and materials specifications, while Emerson will oversee project management, helping customers select, design and implement automation systems.

Emerson's global engineering and installed base of life sciences technologies, including the DeltaV distributed control system and Syncade manufacturing execution system, are hoped to facilitate faster global adoption of continuous manufacturing.

Emerson has supported the development of continuous manufacturing technology at Rutgers University's engineering research center for structured organic particulate systems (C-SOPS) over the last ten years. In 2015, Rutgers University licensed Integra CMS to develop, practice, and commercialise advanced continuous manufacturing services.

"Many companies that are interested in implementing continuous manufacturing systems have relatively little experience in the use of process engineering methods," said Fernando Muzzio, president of Integra CMS and director of C-SOPS.

"Emerson's extensive toolbox and worldwide presence provides a foundation of technology on which we can deliver end-to-end support in selection, implementation and optimization of the formulation and the process to customers anywhere in the world."
