The Compliance Risks Of Disconnected Automation Systems

In highly regulated industries, disconnected systems, often called “Islands of Automation,” create significant operational challenges. When equipment and computerized system validation (CSV) workstreams are siloed, they fragment critical data, introduce inefficiencies, and increase compliance risks. This lack of integration leads to costly delays and rework, especially in key areas like commissioning, qualification, and validation (CQV). A traditional, staggered approach to projects only compounds these issues, with CSV teams often brought in too late to embed data integrity requirements by design. The best approach is to integrate CSV and CQV teams from the project's inception, embed data integrity requirements early, and adopt centralized systems to unify operations and ensure compliance.
