About The Customer
Xcellerex is a life sciences company based in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The company is revolutionizing the way biopharmaceuticals and vaccines are developed, manufactured, and commercialized. Xcellerex has developed FlexFactory, a manufacturing platform designed to enhance the production of critical biopharmaceutical products. The company identified the need to integrate single-use technology, controlled environment modules, process automation, and electronic batch records into its FlexFactory platform. Xcellerex aims to offer customers significant improvements in production processes, including 70 percent faster deployment, 75 percent reduced capital investment, and an unmatched level of flexibility.
The Challenge
Xcellerex, a company revolutionizing the way biopharmaceuticals and vaccines are developed, manufactured, and commercialized, faced the challenge of integrating complex technology with ultra-high levels of functionality. The company aimed to create a biomanufacturing platform that employs single-use technology, controlled environment modules, process automation, and electronic batch records. The goal was to address the growing demands in the biomedical market space for more effective biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes and develop a solution that would define a model for improving how biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other therapeutics are developed, manufactured, and commercialized.
The Solution
Xcellerex selected Wonderware System Platform as the backbone of the complete biopharmaceutical automation software application. Other Schneider Electric Software included Wonderware InTouch as the HMI, Wonderware InBatch to provide effective batching operations, and Wonderware Historian to serve as the system’s powerful application to maintain historical production data.
