Responsible for quality management in the cleanroom face a mammoth task daily: ensuring HACCP guidelines (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) are strictly adhered to. While production technology is often "state of the art," quality management (QM) in many places still operates in the "notep…

In many pharmaceutical and biotechnological production environments, two worlds collide: the highest hygiene standards in cleanroom zones and areas where explosive atmospheres can develop – for example, due to solvents, combustible dusts, or process gases. For this demanding combination, the PILOT…

Cleanrooms are among the most tightly controlled production environments. Prescribed gowning and disinfection steps, clearly defined airlocks, and logged entries are essential to prevent particles and microbes. Every entry – even for minor technical interventions on equipment – increases the ris…

In sensitive production and laboratory environments with strict hygiene and safety requirements, companies are increasingly relying on the flexibility of mobile devices such as tablets. What requirements such devices must meet and how they can provide real added value in cleanrooms is demonstrated b…
