We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pharmaceutical Company",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release GBP 60,000 temperature sensing order placed from
ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), which we summarised at the time by saying "ABB engineered its products to fit the applications by supplying the standard transmitters with nonstandard mountings".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release WBF conference winds up from
WBF: World Batch Forum: "The last day of the WBF conference in Mechelen, Belgium last November was completely dedicated to best practices and pitfalls in the application of ISA95 and to surveys about MES and ISA95".
In December 2006, we covered the news from Contrinex UK
concerning its RFID system
- take a look at RFID system writes and reads from transponders
which says: "The RFID system uses battery-free transponders, avoiding the limitation of operating temperature range and operational life experienced with battery-powered tags".
Take a look also at the news release from University of Greenwich, Scientists and engineers take IChemE awards,
as well as Conveyor has a gentle touch for phamaceuticals from Contax,
and Checkweigher integrated into control systems from Isatec.
