Biotech / Pharmaceutical 

Biotech client  in Oregon - This project required custom code modules to be integrated within the existing Cimplicity SCADA system. The client had unique requirements for user interaction with various software packages while maintaining the existing security rights and policies including 21-CFR-Part 11 compliance. CSI wrote Perl and .NET applications that limits the users control for navigation, switching applications, etc.. while in an Explorer window or an IE browser. These modules allow the users to perform activities as specified by their group security policies within the SCADA system, not Windows.

Biotech client  in California - Provided a turnkey solution for a train of 5 each 20L fermentors (bioreactors) including 21-CFR-Part 11 compliance, IFIX, RSView SE, OSI PI, Alarm Paging, Reports, and CLX PLC programming.

Pharmaceutical client  in Colorado - This project was to implement a redundant OPC based alarm callout/paging system including 21-CFR-Part 11 compliance. The existing RSLinx application was used as the OPC server, and the RSView32 SCADA provided the alarm database template. CSI modified the database to work with our software. By using the existing software and applications, this Messenger application was delivered for less than $3000.00! 

Biotech client  in California - This project started as upgrades and enhancements to the functionality of the Fedegari Autoclaves. Upon completion of Phase 1, the Fedegaris were converted to the Cimplicity SCADA system including 21-CFR-Part 11 compliance.

Pharmaceutical client  in California - This project was to implement Crystal Reports 2008 into an existing Historian SQL database for weekly reporting requirements. A total of 56 reports were implemented. The Intellution SCADA was modified to allow user interaction with Crystal Reports while maintaining desktop security.

Biotech client  in California - Project requirements included IFIX 4.5 development and CLX PLC programming for several utility packages. This project required complete equipment and application redundancy and 21-CFR-Part 11 compliance.

Biotech client  in California - Project required the conversion of an existing RSView SE project to Intellution 4.0 (IFIX). The client had serious stability issues with the RSView SE system originally installed by Rockwell Automation. Our client had to have a reliable emergency backup SCADA system to prevent losing a batch when RSView SE crashed. CSI converted all graphics, alarms and tagnames to IFIX. The IFIX server was an old P3 1000mHz provided by the client, while the RSView SE system was on several P4 servers.  Using the IGS driver, we added the IFIX server to the existing Rockwell network. Initial startup showed the IGS driver to be extremely efficient compared to RSLinx, and the IFIX updated 10 times faster than RSView SE (using the exact same network). Additionally, the IFIX server has not required a reboot since installed while RSView SE continues to crash. GE Fanuc is currently writing a white paper for this project due to it's success.

Pharmaceutical client  in California - This project features an RSView SE project  providing 100% redundancy/hot standby. This project featured 15 PLCs (mixed between CLX, PLC 5/80 and SLC-505), and a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant Historian.  We Rock very Well !
