We needed built-in Ethernet and Web communications.” That’s how Rod Baker of intelliTech (www.intellitech-inc.com) describes some of the performance characteristics he and his team wanted to incorporate as they designed the intellifiller Model AFS liquid filler. The machine is used largely by drug makers, for both clinical trials and full-scale production and packaging. These days, drug makers are keenly interested in packaging machinery that will facilitate the kind of electronic record-keeping spelled out in FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Built-in Ethernet and Web enablement can both be useful tools where electronic record-keeping is concerned. Both these characteristics are successfully incorporated in the Model AFS thanks in part to the Rockwell Automation(www.rockwellautomation.com) Micrologix controller that’s on board. It’s small enough to meet intellitech’s footprint requirements, yet it has a built-in Ethernet/IP port and a Web interface.
