Fluxa: Advanced Digital Technologies for Development & Manufacturing

With a mission to redefine Development and Manufacturing, Fluxa leverages modern, scalable digital architectures specially curated for the Operations space across process design, execution, and analytics. “In working with large bio-pharmaceutical companies, we observed that the Operations value chain was underserved by legacy technologies, putting a tremendous burden on scientists, engineers, and analysts. So, we set out to build Operations-focused products that married the latest digital technologies with a modern browser-based user experience,” says John Miller, Co-founder of Fluxa. The company’s products are backed by a highly modular technology architecture that integrates IT with operations technology (OT) across ISA 88/95 standards in a truly scalable manner. Fluxa’s products seamlessly operate together to manage product recipes, collect and analyze large volumes of discreet, continuous, and unstructured data to improve the manufacturing process.

Miller explains how Fluxa addresses manufacturing and Operations pain points, starting with managing the development process. Fluxa’s product, Scale-UpTM, enables customers to efficiently manage and collaborate on process-based manufacturing recipes and specifications with capabilities such as visual process flows, parameter calculation management, real-time facility-fit, one-click regulatory document creation, and global team collaboration. On its own, Scale-Up provides significant efficiencies and process improvements versus product-focused PLM tools or Excel and document management systems; the impact can be magnified by combining Scale-Up with Fluxa Process AnalyticsTM.

Fluxa Process Analytics can use the recipe context from Scale-Up to seamlessly enable manufacturing data integration and analytics across sites and data sets such as MES, LIMS, Process Historians, ELNs, and others, including instruments and sensors from R&D to the shop-floor. Process Analytics eliminates the need to manually integrate data, thereby enabling process experts to focus on analyzing and improving the process, and not on data engineering.

Underpinning Fluxa’s products is a knowledge management capability that leverages usage patterns, comments, and scenario context to dramatically improve how process insights are captured and made searchable.
