Move the operation forward. Keep the record whole.

We treat every change to your floor as a change to what an auditor sees. That’s the difference between automation in pharmaceutical manufacturing and automation anywhere else, and it’s where GrayMatter starts: upgrades, consolidations and serialization work planned around your compliance record from the first conversation.

Modernization and compliance, completed hand in hand

We scope modernization efforts and compliance as a single piece of work because we know on your floor, a change in process is also a change to the regulatory record. GrayMatter solves the operational problems that put both at risk.

We approach serialization as a data problem first: a precise handshake between every packaging level, with no room for a mismatched record, and reporting formatted to what each of your customers requires. GrayMatter designs and installs the inspection cameras, printers, scanners, and custom data-linkage software that keep that chain intact from the first unit off the line, for first-time installations and migrations from an existing system.

Running different versions of the same system across multiple sites — each with its own historian and alarm database — means nobody has one current, trustworthy record of plant performance. GrayMatter consolidates those systems onto a single set of virtual servers with one common historian, adding store-and-forward buffering so historical data survives a network outage instead of leaving a gap in the compliance record.

FAQs

Yes. We design and install inspection, printing, and scanning systems around your existing line, and handle both first-time installations and migrations from prior systems.

Yes. We consolidate multi-site SCADA and historian systems onto a single, current, supportable platform, so every site is working from one shared record instead of several mismatched ones.

It’s buffered. We build in store-and-forward buffering so data is captured locally and forwarded once the connection is restored. A network outage doesn’t create a gap in your compliance record.

Our work spans pharmaceutical packaging and production. If you make devices or biologics, talk to an Insider about your product category and the systems behind it, and we’ll tell you plainly where our experience applies.

Not with the right approach. We design changes around your compliance requirements from the start, rather than treating modernization and compliance as separate projects.

Both, intentionally. GrayMatter’s pharmaceutical manufacturing consultants assess the plant and plan the change, and the same team designs, programs and commissions it. That keeps the plan and the build accountable to the same record, which is how we approach automation in the pharmaceutical industry.
