St. Louis (April 16, 2024) – Emerson, the global leader in automation technology and software (NYSE: EMR today introduced DeltaV™ Workflow Management, a new generation of software designed for early-stage life sciences companies. The software expands the capabilities of Emerson’s growing DeltaV automation platform to provide more scalable options to meet the needs of small life science innovators. For companies lacking IT infrastructure, DeltaV Workflow Management software provides cloud-based software service solutions that simplify formulation, execution and electronic data collection.

The simple drag-and-drop element in DeltaV™ workflow management helps users create recipe steps and automate workflows that meet good manufacturing practice standards.

TSXCUSBMBP In high-growth life sciences companies, such as those producing cutting-edge pharmaceutical products for difficult diseases and personalized medicine, production facilities still rely heavily on manual processes and records for small-scale operations and formulation. Many companies do not have strong and reliable IT departments or experienced staff to handle the complex programming required by traditional manufacturing execution systems.

DeltaV workflow management software converts formulation workflow data from manual records to digital “archives,” eliminating complexity and providing a simple, scalable solution that helps speed up the drug development process without programming experience. The software also generates searchable digital records that are easy to organize and export, as well as easier to analyze and report on data. In addition, this digital transformation can greatly reduce the risk of contamination associated with paper records in sterile clean rooms.

TSXCUSBMBP Nathan Pettus, president of Emerson’s Process Systems and Solutions business, said: “DeltaV workflow management software enables start-ups and established laboratories to innovate and meet their requirements for speed and simplicity in the early stages of drug development. With standard, proven manufacturing execution systems, it can take years of experience and months to create a recipe and fully automate it. With this new software, the company can begin mass production in just a few days and accelerate the time to market for new treatments.”

In the DeltaV workflow management software, users use simple drag-and-drop elements to create recipe steps and automate workflows that meet good manufacturing practice standards. In these steps, users can add new parameters and electronic signature requirements for quality control and regulatory compliance, run product formulations, authorize users to perform specific tasks, and create digital batch records.

Emerson DeltaV MES (the new version of Syncade MES) already offers a wealth of digital recipe development and execution user options, and DeltaV workflow management expands and improves upon this. Customers now have more flexibility to use digital formulation solutions based on their business needs, which reflects Emerson’s strong commitment to continuously improve and invest in a portfolio of manufacturing execution solutions for businesses of all sizes.
