Cytiva and Rockwell Automation launched Figurate SCADA, a supervisory control and data acquisition layer meant to reduce digital bottlenecks across biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The open-architecture system is designed to enable real-time oversight of unit operations through a single interface while supporting third-party instrument connectivity. The collaboration targets interoperability gaps that can force manual workarounds and create data integrity risks when biomanufacturers run equipment from fragmented vendor ecosystems. Figurate SCADA is positioned for a “process development to commercial manufacturing” workflow without redesign. The platform also emphasizes compliance readiness through streamlined cGMP alignment, centralized alarms, and modular, template-driven implementation intended to reduce deployment and validation timelines. By bundling connectivity and monitoring across instrument vendors, Cytiva and Rockwell are pushing for faster digitization of process intensification and continuous manufacturing use cases.
