We have an extensive track record in assisting many of the world's leading blue chip chemical companies to secure significant return on their batch control and information systems investment and create competitive advantage.

This has been achieved by working with clients to ensure production, reliability, flexibility and efficiency objectives are understood, controlling programme and budget, whilst ensuring appropriate standards of safety and quality are maintained.

In the field of speciality chemicals and pharmaceutical chemicals, we have experience of designing best value control systems and supporting our client in the development of Unit Operations for multipurpose/multiproduct production, pilot and production scale, and recovery and purification processes.

We have designed and installed several fully S88.01 compliant batch control systems for cGMP regulated Pharmaceutical and Food quality intermediate process manufacturing plants, using traditional DCS and PLC/SCADA based applications including full electronic reporting and management systems.

A number of systems have been fully validated to meet regulatory requirements including those demanded by the US Food & Drug Administration.

In the food industry we have a long history of batch processing applications experience for single, multiproduct and multistream process ingredients management.
