Cytiva and Rockwell Automation launched Figurate SCADA, aimed at reducing digital bottlenecks across biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The system is positioned as open-architecture supervisory software with native connectivity to Cytiva bioprocessing equipment and Rockwell’s FactoryTalk suite, enabling centralized monitoring and batch reporting. The companies said the platform is designed to bridge equipment fragmentation, support real-time oversight of unit operations, and streamline cGMP compliance via pre-engineered templates and modular deployment. The release also emphasizes scaling from process development to commercial manufacturing without major system redesign. For biopharma manufacturers, the announcement targets an operational pain point: integration delays and manual workarounds that can affect data integrity during process intensification and continuous manufacturing rollouts.
