IQ Corporation has provided automation services to the pharmaceutical industry since 2003. We're well trained in applying our solutions within quality environments where GMP and 21 CFR Part 11 requirements must be met, with classified and aseptic area experience and training.

Every project is engineered and documented with the quality environment in mind — documentation designed to withstand any audit — so your project is completed on time, on budget and, most importantly, within compliance.

Systems we've automated

• Automatic CIP systems
• Lyophilizers
• RO water systems
• Spray dryers
• WFI water systems
• Homogenizers
• Batch processing controls
• Air handling units
• SCADA systems
• Chillers and chilled water loops

• Bosch and Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6000 / 1394 servo motion

We've served the pulp and paper industry since 2003, and we understand the unrelenting pressure of constant uptime coupled with low margins. Our solutions are implemented with minimal downtime and deliver maximum uptime and greater efficiency once running.

Every project is documented with maintainability in mind, in language plant floor personnel can easily follow.

Our experience includes

• SCADA systems
• DCS / PLC integration
• Dryer sections
• Wet end systems
• Servo drive motion control
• SQL Server, Oracle and Access database applications
• Inventory control, including barcoding
• Wonderware, Intellution, PanelView, VersaView and Nematron HMIs

Our HVAC control system is tailored to the demands of the pharmaceutical industry. The Allen-Bradley based solution gives extremely tight control of room pressure, temperature and humidity, with SCADA trending and reporting. It adapts to all types of packaged air handlers and helps you meet regulatory requirements.

We've also built systems for cooling towers, multi-stage chillers and complete chilled water loops — all on standard Allen-Bradley factory automation equipment.

Why it pays off

• No proprietary-system fees (Honeywell, Landis & Gyr, Robertshaw)
• Maintainable by your own Allen-Bradley-trained staff
• Open to end-user modifications
• Networks over Ethernet, DH+, DeviceNet, Modbus or fieldbus
• Feeds data to enterprise software for display, trending and alarming
• Automatic restart after power outages, so classified areas recover fast
• Energy-saving routines that stay within regulatory limits

Our fully automated Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) is built for the pharmaceutical industry. It satisfies the GMP provisions of 21 CFR 211.42 for drug manufacturing and 21 CFR 1271.195 for human cell and tissue products.

It eliminates the tedious task of manually monitoring and recording manometers, temperature sensors and humidity sensors to detect excursions in classified rooms — and it adapts to whatever HVAC control system your plant already uses, on standard Allen-Bradley hardware, Wonderware or Intellution SCADA, and MS SQL Server or Access.

What it does

• Trends real-time and rolling-average room pressure, temperature and humidity
• Detects out-of-spec conditions automatically
• Alarms by email, on-call pager or to Quality Control
• Logs every excursion and return-to-spec with a date/time stamp
• Prints a daily room status report for QC review
• Graphs historical and rolling-average values
• Fully user-configurable points, sampling and reports
