V-Control, a true open architecture DeltaV solution

V-Control provides the well known DeltaV applications used widely in Life Sciences automation, but in a smaller footprint and at a reduced cost. With the combination of Emerson's DeltaV Discovery and the Applikon local process controllers, you can:

  • Reduce your DeltaV benchtop footprint with workstation-based DeltaV and Applikon local process controllers
  • Accurately control and reduce variability in key process parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pressure while maintaining the flexibility needed in R&D
  • Record and analyze process parameters with an embedded historian that simplifies real-time data collection and analysis
  • Interact with your laboratory applications using a familiar DeltaV operator user interface
  • Log process alarms and operating events with an integrated alarms and events historian
  • Easily integrate process measurements and other data sources with DeltaV Ethernet communications using OPC, Modbus, and Ethernet IP
  • Control up to 32 bioreactors from one Appli-V server
  • Add DeltaV’s powerful batch control and event history modules for a comprehensive lab system and easily transfer lab processes to production systems

Features

  • Open Software and Hardware solution
  • Capability to be added to an existing system
  • Standardized automation software can be customized to meet customer requirements
  • Ability to exchange between commercial production and process development
  • Open to working with our clients on meeting their standards
  • No hidden costs

Applications

  • Integrates with Applikon process control systems
  • Single-use and multi-use systems
  • 250 ml up to 50 liter cultivation systems
  • Retrofitting of existing Applikon systems

V-Control is a process control platform that is developed as a ‘one common-platform’ solution for bioreactors from Discovery up to Production. The seamless technology transfer and scalable data transfer result in optimal bioprocess with shorter lead times and lower development costs.   

Applikon Biotechnology and Emerson Automation Solutions have taken these developments to the next level by introducing V-Control.

To overcome the scale-up challenges and to improve the product life cycle management, Applikon Biotechnology and Emerson Automation Solutions developed V-Control to decrease investment costs and to reduce the time-to-market. V-Control combines scalable bioreactors from 250 mL up to 6000 L with DeltaVTM automation software as the sole solution from Discovery up to Production for process control and data integration.

V-Control is developed by Applikon and Emerson and is combining knowledge and experience of both companies into the scalable DeltaVTM solution for bioreactors.

V-Control comes in different hardware versions:

  • V-Control for R&D
  • V-Control for Pilot & Production

The V-Control R&D version is optimized for bioprocessing and will combine DeltaV DiscoveryTM  with Applikon’s scalable laboratory bioreactors ranging from 250 mL up to 20 L.

V-Control for Pilot & Production combines Emerson’s PK Controller with Applikons turn-key single-use and stainless steel solutions from pilot up to production scale and can be used as powerful stand-alone solutions with links to ERP, MES and batch reporting software tools or as fully integrated process control solutions.

  • Open architecture of control logic in DeltaVTM

    Through its open architecture V-Control eases techtransfer and allows for exchanging recipes and control for equipment modules between R&D and production facilities.  Additionally, it allows for combining the V-Control libraries with customer’s own customized libraries.

  • Ready to GO solutions

    V-Control includes pre-defined and validatable control and equipment modules optimized for Therefore, the V-Control solutions are Ready to GO, allowing for minimal start-up time and reduced costs.

  • Optimized bioprocessing software features

    Standard modules have been built for typical bioprocessing operations like, sensor calibration, 3-point cascades, etc. This makes the application intuitive and easy-to-use and it optimizes operator time.

Applikon biocontroller as intelligent I/O Box

V-Control for R&D uses Applikon flexible biocontrol systems that act as intelligent I/O boxes. Allowing for easy integration of novel sensor technologies and additional outputs. Up to 25 sensors, like pH, optical DO,off-gas, balances and biomass sensors can be connected. Additionally, external actuators, like pumps, can be controlled via available 4-20 mA outputs.

Resuming

V-Control is a powerfull & scalable bioreactor automation platform, based on Emerson’s well-known DeltaVTM automation solution. Because of its open architecture it provides scalable solutions from R&D to production. It is built according to the ISA-S88 and ISA-S95 architecture and allows for integration with level 3, level 4 and level 5 data management, MES and ERP solutions.

V-Control minimizes start-up time and costs by providing Ready to GO solutions and optimizes operator efficiency by having optimized control modules for bioprocessing applications.

Using V-Control as the common process platform the product pipelines can be accelerated and in the end, this will result in a reduced time-to-market and lower development costs. Moreover, it will enable the life sciences industry to better serve the patients needs and lastly improve the quality of life.
