Case Study: a large biopharmaceutical plant achieves faster validated product release with LSI Logical Systems Inc.'s OSIsoft PI system

Large Biopharmaceutical Plant - Customer Case Study

The customer, a large biopharmaceutical plant, faced the challenge of restarting a mothballed facility. They needed to reinstall and validate a robust, redundant OSIsoft PI system to monitor building and process systems across multiple networks to ensure they could release product. The project required compliance with stringent global IT standards, which was beyond their internal capabilities.

Logical Systems Inc. (LSI) provided a comprehensive solution, leveraging their specialized OSIsoft expertise to design, install, and configure the entire PI system architecture. This included building an Asset Framework model, implementing security, and integrating reporting software. The results were significant: the system was installed on time, it drastically improved the speed and reduced the manual effort of process validation, and the new reporting tools became indispensable for releasing production lots. LSI’s involvement and training ensured the plant was successfully brought online.
