ConsiGma®
An indispensable part of the ConsiGma portfolio, the Conductor control system architecture ensures smooth operation and communication between the different elements of a pharmaceutical continuous manufacturing line.
GEA’s Conductor is the highly advanced, SCADA-based heart of the control system architecture that brings all the smart and robust ConsiGma® processes and technological solutions together in one easily controlled environment.
It interfaces with the automation layers of the individual ConsiGma® modules, which are part of the lines, PAT instruments (if present) and PAT management systems, Advanced Process Control systems such as PharmaMV® (Perceptive Engineering), Data historian and MES solutions, all depending on the customer IT landscape.
Read more about how GEA and its partners are implementing this technology to lead the way toward smaller, more flexible, continuous processing technologies that are transforming the future of pharmaceutical development and manufacturing.
A highly integrated solution for continuous linear blending and direct compression, the ConsiGma® DC-LB lines offer all the advantages of continuous manufacturing: supply chain agility, small footprint, controlled blending and compression and improved quality.
The ConsiGma® Gentle Coater is based on the GEA high-performance tablet coating technology that gently and accurately deposits controlled amounts of coating materials onto tablet cores — even if they are hygroscopic or friable.
The ConsiGma® 1 offers standalone continuous twin-screw granulation and drying for small-scale R&D operations. It allows users to develop the process and achieve high granule quality on a compact unit.
Based on proven continuous twin-screw granulation technology, the ConsiGma® GD modules enable the production of higher quality granules under better control, even in a bin-2-bin set-up.
The impact of global warming is increasingly apparent all over the world. Towns and cities everywhere face the same challenge: providing their communities with reliable, affordable, sustainably sourced heat. GEA spoke with an expert in the field, Kenneth Hoffmann, Manager, Heat Pumps at GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies, about tackling global warming faster.
Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
