Hydro-Flo control systems are built to the
highest standards. We strive to keep up to date with the most
current technology, design/engineering and manufacturing standards,
as well as all applicable statutes, codes and regulations.
Below is a sample of the types of information we are constantly reviewing
and updating. Hydro-Flo is your source for the finest, most up
to date technology available today.
21
CFR Part 11
The FDA passed "Title 21Code of Federal
Regulations Part 11" or “21 CFR Part 11” in March of 1997.
This regulation defines the practices for the
storage and control of electronic records, along with the implementation of
electronic signatures.
This gives the FDA a way to automatically
procure data collection (from FDA regulated industries) by
electronically recording it. This gives the FDA a method of
ensuring the acquisition of authentic data. This makes the
transfer of data seamless and also eliminates the customer intensive
paper trail required in the past.
As part of 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, Hydro-Flo incorporates software with special access scripts and audit
logs. Hydro-Flo will custom package the PLC hardware and database software
with close collaboration with
the end user's IT department to implement a compliant 21 CFR
Part 11 system.
The Hydro-Flo SCADA SQL database stores and
passes the inherently authentic data in an open format that is easily accessible
via any internet browser. Even your recipe data is stored in a database.
Any changes to the recipe automatically generates an audit trail.
Every Hydro-Flo SCADA system
comes with a report "plug in" that generates a PDF formatted report within the SCADA
software. Once a report is generated, the data is transferred
directly into a "read-only" document. All
possibilities of "data manipulation" have been eliminated.
ANSI/ISA-88 (S88)
At Hydro-Flo, our batch control systems are
designed in accordance with ANSI/ISA "Batch Control Standard-88.01"
(commonly referred to as S88). S88 helps achieve the two key
goals in any batch processing process: consistent results
along with easy process management.
At Hydro-Flo, our programmers have reduced
development time with the development of a custom S88 engine.
Along with thi, we have developed an extensive library of routines
that makes it easy to maintain and modify your PLC program.
These canned routines have been developed and refined over the past
20 years, giving you unmatched ease of operation. By
spending our time developing standards, we are able to concentrate
on the overall process design. If your operator needs to make a
program modification or trouble shoot the system, modifications can
be completed within hours, instead of days and even weeks in some
cases.
Following the "S88" standard gives us the
greatest flexibility over system processes. Changes to
chemical addition rates, etc. are easy and repeatable. Reduced
batch time, constant batches and increased process rates are just a
few of the benefits offered by a Hydro-Flo "S88" batch control
system. |
