Modern Control Systems Enable Step Change Improvements For Life Sciences

By Reena Patel, Rob Spilsbury, and Albina Pace, Emerson

Life sciences companies are increasingly rethinking their approach to control system modernization—not as a last resort, but as a strategic opportunity to improve traceability, compliance, and production efficiency. Emerson’s Rob Spilsbury and Albina Pace share how modern control systems, like DeltaV™, are helping manufacturers move beyond islands of automation toward fully connected plants. With tools like DeltaV REVAMP and Batch Analytics, companies can reduce migration complexity, predict batch quality in real time, and streamline audit trails. The integration of spectral analysis and edge computing further enhances data accessibility and security, which supports faster decision-making and reduced operational risk.
