Validation cycle time
IQ/OQ/PQ on a cell can stretch a 14-week build into a 26-week project if the validation team comes in late. We work validation into the build schedule from week one.
Industry
Fluid Power & Automation for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Florida's pharma cluster — Tampa, Orlando, and a growing CDMO presence on the I-4 corridor — has been one of our fastest-growing customer segments since 2019. Pharma work is engineering-heavy and quality-heavy. Cells need to be validated, documentation packages need to hold up under FDA inspection, and the people who matter most on the project are usually quality assurance, not engineering. We've shipped six GMP-validated cells in the last three years, all of which have passed customer audits without findings.
What makes this industry different
The challenges that determine your spec.
Every industry punishes equipment differently. We’ve organized what we’ve learned from years inside pharmaceutical manufacturing plants into the constraints we account for in every spec we write.
02
Skilled-operator shortages
Pharma sites in Florida are bidding against each other for the same operators. Cobot tending of secondary packaging and fill-finish lines reclaims FTEs without compromising quality.
03
Cybersecurity for connected cells
Connected cells need cybersecurity hardening — patch management, network segmentation, audit logging — to pass corporate security review. We deliver this as part of the cell, not as a follow-up.
04
Cleanroom and isolator compatibility
Cobots in ISO 5/7/8 environments need wipedown-compatible end-effectors, low-particle-shedding designs, and validated cleaning protocols.
