PLC / HMI / SCADA design & verification
Specifying and verifying the control system of a new filling machine before GMP use.
Illustrative use caseCapability
Engineering pharmaceutical technology the way it will be inspected: requirements first, designed and built to them, then tested and verified with evidence.


Automation and computerised systems in GxP areas need a traceable path from user requirement to verified release. We work across that path — specification, design review, integration, testing and qualification — following a GAMP 5 risk-based approach.
System build and integration may involve equipment vendors and system integrators. DGXPComplianceLab leads requirements, risk assessment, test strategy and documentation, and coordinates the engineering partners.
Each activity shows who performs it. We do not claim facilities we do not own.

Interfaces between equipment, MES, LIMS and ERP.
The same engineering discipline applies whether the system is a PLC-controlled machine or a laboratory workflow.

A phased roadmap connecting laboratory, manufacturing and quality systems, with AI where it fits.
Illustrative use caseEvery engagement follows the same eight steps, scaled to the size and risk of the project.
Understand business and technical requirements.
Assess scientific, technical, regulatory and operational requirements.
Design the appropriate solution.
Identify appropriate internal and external capabilities and partners.
Coordinate and execute the project.
Test, verify, qualify or validate where applicable.
Create technical, quality and regulatory documentation.
Monitor, optimise and continuously improve.

Control-system build is done by system integrators and equipment vendors. We define requirements, review designs, plan testing and verify the result.
Verification confirms each requirement is met (testing against specifications). Validation confirms the system is fit for its intended use in the GxP process, supported by documented evidence.
Yes — risk-based, scaled to system category and impact, with critical thinking over document volume.
