The Pharmaceutical industry is well suited to Astech’s capabilities, because automation development largely follows the guidance laid down by ISPE’s Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP). GAMP® adopts a patient-centric risk-based approach that enables innovation while demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements. Astech’s custom designed automation systems are developed in an engineering quality framework that closely aligns with GAMP, meaning validation tasks for our clients are made far simpler, efficient and more cost-effective. Our project documentation is used for system validation and regulatory compliance which lessens the burden and time on our customers’ engineers and scientists. These processes are relevant to the laboratories of the R&D departments as well as supply and manufacturing.
