SIA S.r.l

Changes and innovations know no holiday: our teams are still on duty! 💡 

Safety and efficiency make quality and compliance, especially in the pharmaceutical industry regulations. One of the critical steps to achieve these goals is the I/O Check. It is a verification and control process that ensures all input (I) and output (O) signals of  automation systems are properly configured and functioning. This includes checking input signals from sensors, valves, and motors, as well as output signals to motors and valves. The I/O Check ensures • Safety, minimizing the risk of  failures. • Efficiency, by verifying that all input and output signals are working properly, running efficiently and without interruptions. • Compliance with pharmaceutical industry regulations, such as 21 CFR PART 11 and Annex 11 of the GMP, which require the verification and control of automation systems. SIA offers turnkey industrial automation services that include electrical schematic design, component and equipment selection, and the implementation of customized SCADA solutions. Our technical expertise and experience in the pharmaceutical industry allow our partner to use highly performing systems, properly configured and maintained, and operating safely and efficiently.

Working alongside with pharmaceutical industries is also understanding the immense need of this field to stay compliant with strict, ever-changing regulations. Willing to be a trusted partner, SIA helps companies to achieve and maintain the highest standards of quality and safety. Ensuring automation systems meet FDA requirements is crucial, and possible only mastering the complexities of each case by: • Compliant System Design & Implementation: Design and build automation systems meeting the strictest regulations. • Validation & Documentation: Develop trustworthy validation plans and thorough documentation to meet all regulatory needs. • Ongoing Support Partner with us for safeguarded and boosted production processes.

Part of our Quality Department, CSV (Computer system validation) professionals are fundamental to deliver reliable, accurate and compliant systems to the clients. They support other specialists in writing technical deliverables and validation protocols, ensuring each system complies with up-to-date regulatory requirements, in pharmaceutical as well as healthcare industries. From managing risks to ensuring product quality, SIA experts are trained to face the challenges their role embodies, enabling our company to be the partner the clients were looking for.

Keeping SCADA system updated is vital to stay in sync with operational versions and get secured coverage from software houses. Apart from SIA SCADA solutions hardware-wise, we offer key solutions to maintain SCADA system at its best: • Tech Refresh: a purely software-based update according to which licenses are upgraded to the latest version, ensuring everyone access the newest features • SCADA Revamping, which goes beyond license upgrades and sees both graphics (more modern and dynamic) and apps (smarter, faster, and more efficient) undergoing a renovation. Our experts are also able to revamp non-SIA SCADA systems, updating and improving them, providing the client with a full, customized assistance as if they were our own system in every respect.

Ensuring quality and reliability of products means to recognize the pivotal role of testing.  SIA Quality Department collaborates with the Software Department to carry out rigorous, compulsory testing process. In this process: Hardware engineers check if signals match the real process Different scenarios are simulated to test all features while monitoring them Testing is not merely a quality control measure: by identifying potential issues early in the development cycle, tests enable us to refine our designs, optimize performance, and deliver top-quality products matching customer’s specific needs.

A complete #revamping solution should focus on delivering cost-effective upgrades for existing equipment. At SIA, we leverage our professionals to deliver a complete service, encompassing: Electrical Panel Upgrades, with modern PLCs, motors, and sensors. Integration of Standard Components, to ensure ease of maintenance and readily available products, while maximizing uptime and efficiency. This avoids pharmaceutical companies to depend from the original manufacturer's timelines, software and spare parts. Partner with our experts to both face digital advancement and save costs.

Dedicated validation environments are a cornerstone for pharmaceutical companies seeking continuous production, maximized safety, and faster verification times. SIA customized solutions ensure continuous operation by testing in a separated and secure environment, eliminating downtime and maximizing production. This empowers companies to: •Safeguard processes, minimizing the risk of disruption. •Enhance Safety by isolating validation activities and mitigating human errors. •Increase Efficiency and Flexibility: Adapt validation processes to specific needs, allowing for faster turnaround times and greater agility. Beyond operational benefits, dedicated validation environments translate to several advantages: •Reduced Costs: Eliminate downtime and production losses associated with traditional validation methods. •Enhanced Quality: Achieve greater test accuracy and reliability through a controlled and secure environment. •Improved Compliance: Meet the most rigorous pharmaceutical industry standards for safety and validation. Partner with SIA to discover the most efficient validation solution, tailored to your specific needs and ensuring a competitive edge within your sector.

To guarantee maximum uptime for SCADA systems, both iFix Failover and VMWare High Availability can efficiently protect data and applications from hardware and software failures. Evaluate the best option for your company: iFix Failover utilizes two parallel monitoring systems. In case of a failover of the active system, the dormant one activates immediately with no data loss. VMWare High Availability generates a cluster of identical virtual machines, acting as backups for each other and remaining inactive until the system stop receiving heartbeats from an active VM for a user-specified time interval. The two solutions can be combined to increase security, and can be implemented according to the peculiarities characterizing the environment.
