Continuous Manufacturing Services

Our continuous manufacturing specialists have the expertise and experience to accurately assess your current process, plus the technical knowledge on how to best apply innovative technologies to convert the existing or new product to a continuous system.

We recommend utilizing an integrated project team model to architect, plan and manage the implementation. This approach minimizes your chances of incurring unexpected budget overruns and schedule delays.

At a minimum, project team members should include a project manager and systems engineers from Continua Process Systems plus the user’s process automation project team lead, process equipment suppliers (i.e. tablet presses, feeders, etc.) and engineering firm. This model emphasizes close collaboration and direct communication between project team members starting with the initial front end engineering and design (FEED) phase through project scoping, implementation, startup and system commissioning.

At the front end, it is essential for the project team to mutually review the User Requirements Specification (URS) to agree upon the scope of work, the optimal system architecture, control network communication protocols, and process control and data management strategy for monitoring and controlling the critical product quality and process performance parameters defined in the URS.

Our experience shows that deploying an integrated project team model from project conception to completion enables key project stakeholders to stay focused on assuring the intent of the URS is clearly understood and met.

Control Associates factory-trained project services systems engineers implement the tailored solutions and are there to support you from plant concept through startup and commissioning.
