Syncade Suite will provide process material tracking, equipment use status management, electronic manufacturing procedure execution, electronic batch record management and quality assurance review by exception. It will also enable plant floor integration with ERP.

Lonza undertakes highly specialised development and manufacturing services for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries based on more than 25 years of experience in mammalian cell culture and proprietary technology for large-scale manufacture of innovative biopharmaceutical products.

Emerson was chosen as the supplier after previous success at Lonza's facility in Visp, Switzerland, as well as for its efforts to develop a detailed understanding of the Portsmouth site requirements for electronic batch records.
