Connecting People with Hydrogen and Biopharma Knowledge


Connect Things and People! So Why Not knowledge
?

With the internet we are progressing with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Physical and virtual communication tools insure easy contact. We are making great progress in connecting things and people but not knowledge.

What good is a sensor which is not connected to a control device? What can a person contribute if he does not have the needed knowledge?

If a great analysis is not available or its importance easily digested, it has lost its value. Magazines and associations are doing a good job of posting important knowledge on line. But like the unconnected sensor, knowledge needs to be utilized and debated or questioned. Just as a sensor in a control system needs to be checked, knowledge needs the input of the “wise crowd”.

This organized approach to utilizing knowledge is called the Industrial Internet of Wisdom.  If suppliers, consultants, media, and purchasers are all connected in a causation loop, the EBITA of suppliers rises and the costs of ownership decreases

Pharma Prospects Tracks all the Biopharma Technical and Project Activity

Biopharmaceutical companies are looking for much faster construction of facilities and then much faster switching from product to product. The reasons are very high priced small quantities and a short patent protected life.

AES Clean addresses the construction time with a new approach. Design becomes as simple as mixing and matching separate components to create the most efficient, custom facility—with each component designed to connect together as a fully integrated, climate-controlled cleanroom. Faciliflex Module reduces customer risks to both production and timelines.

Relative to shortening the turn around time between products single use filters, valves, pumps and bioreactors  have been developed. The weekly Pharma Prospects follows all the new technology and new projects such as the $ billion Lily project in North Carolina.
