Cytiva and Rockwell Automation launched Figurate SCADA, a supervisory control and data acquisition system aimed at reducing digital bottlenecks in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The platform is designed to connect equipment across instrument vendors and modalities and provide centralized oversight for unit operations. The collaboration emphasizes an open architecture, modular deployment, and cGMP-aligned compliance tooling, with stated integration to Cytiva bioprocessing equipment and Rockwell’s FactoryTalk software. The announcement targets operational pain points created by fragmented proprietary systems that can raise data integrity risks. Biomanufacturers under pressure to scale faster and modernize process control said the product shortens implementation and validation through pre-engineered templates.
