Technical Features of synTQ

synTQ EM is the corporate/cloud-level application that connects to your synTQ nodes, which may be contained within one facility or distributed across the globe.  If required, synTQ EM can be used to centralize your data (all measured, derived and configuration data) into one central point in your data center or the cloud, and then share this with authorized nodes in the global network.

For example, your models and methods that have been developed on one continent can be shared, when authorized, with your manufacturing facility on another continent.  In this way, when your manufacturing sites are audited, all required configuration and metadata history is available to prove compliance.

synTQ EM does not connect to any instruments directly. As it oversees synTQ networks, it is not normally implemented until you have more than one system.

synTQ EM provides a view into every system in your synTQ infrastructure, and synTQ EM Clients can be distributed to any location in the world.  Authorized personnel can view the operational status of any synTQ node in your infrastructure from any physical point that you require.

synTQ DFM is a standalone package that may be run with or without synTQ. synTQ DFM provides a straightforward and practical method of tracking and tracing the materials moving through a continuous process to give you a regulatory compliant qualitative output.

When first embarking on a PAT-enabled continuous process, the need for track and trace may not be immediately apparent. However, once the system is running in production, the tracking of movement is critical for sampling, for rejection and for tracing starting lots to finished batches.

This type of product tracking is distinct from a traditional discrete tracking system.  A continuous process often involves forward and back mixing to different levels throughout the process; process speed variation; product removal for sampling; the calculation of quantity; and the extraction of reject product from the line. For regulatory compliance and potential recall reasons, you must also know what starting raw material lots are contained in the finished batches. Track and trace is therefore a very complex but necessary function to apply to your continuous manufacturing process.

synTQ DFM includes an offline modelling package where the production line unit operations are configured ‘in silico’ together with the related movement algorithms. The system can then be run in real time, with sampling and rejection being controlled in a timely way together with data and reporting around the raw material lots in each of the finished batches.  We have experience in deploying synTQ DFM in regulatory compliant systems.
