Cytiva and Rockwell Automation launched Figurate SCADA, an open-architecture supervisory control and data acquisition system intended to connect biopharma manufacturing equipment and reduce integration-driven bottlenecks. The platform is positioned as natively integrated with Cytiva bioprocessing equipment and Rockwell’s FactoryTalk suite, with centralized alarms, real-time oversight across unit operations, and batch reporting aligned to cGMP workflows. The release comes as manufacturers seek faster scaling from process development to commercial production while controlling data integrity and compliance costs associated with fragmented, vendor-specific systems.
