In search of the elusive golden batch—a repeatable process that consistently optimizes batch yield and quality—Boehringer Ingelheim collaborated with Sartorius Stedim Data Analytics to monitor its processes using multivariate data analysis techniques. The team used AVEVA PI System to aggregate and contextualize its data, then applied analytics for real-time monitoring and prescriptive process control.
“If we come to a customer and they have [AVEVA PI System] with a good configuration, then we can have a monitoring process, advanced analytics—the whole thing—up and running in a matter of days.”
