This virtual, online-only program is brought to you by the Emerging Leaders Committee (formerly YP Committee) but is open to all!

Automation 101

During our first educational session last month we covered Process Engineering. Now that the process is defined we will take a look at what's involved in automating the process. From the process pipe to the network infrastructure, Automation 101 covers a broad spectrum of automation topics at a high level – focusing on industry specific components along the way. The goal of this presentation is to inform attendees (with all levels of experience) by covering key automation topics that come up frequently on a project, and to give attendees a comfort level of incorporating and applying their knowledge into current and future projects.

Cory is a Lead Instrument & Controls Engineer working in Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical and Biotech industries - specifically in design and consultation. He has done instrumentation controls design work for novel therapies including Cell & Gene Therapy, Plasmids and Oligonucleotides. He is familiar with the design implementation for single use and continuous manufacturing as well. Cory has designed Building Automation, Environmental Monitoring, and Process Control Systems for both cGMP Manufacturing and cGLP Laboratory environments. He is skilled in sizing, selecting and specifying process automated valves and instrumentation for large scale projects. Other skills include the design of PLC, DCS and Remote I/O cabinets with all the associated wiring diagrams, control system architectures and philosophies. In addition, Cory gives presentations on Controls, Automation & Industry 4.0 for beginners with the goal of relating the I&C discipline in a meaningful way to a broad audience. Cory keeps up with all the latest smart instrumentation, equipment and networking strategies. He has implemented some small-scale 4.0 / innovative solutions in his recent project work that includes, smart diagnostics for flowmeters, ex-situ Bluetooth capable radar level devices for plastic acid totes, packaging line integration into a SCADA to create a robust digital twin and LMS (line management system) using all Ethernet with no PLC, and wireless environmental monitoring systems for labs.

During our Emerging Leaders Networking Event in November, we took a survey and asked our members to tell us what topics they are most interested in learning more about. Professional Networking (not actual networking but how to network) and Process were the most requested topics. We listened and our planned programs for the remainder of the 2022/23 calendar year will cover these topics.

Our first three events will be virtual lunch & learns:

• Process Engineering (took place on February 16th)
• Process Automation (this event here, scheduled for March 16th)
• SAVE THE DATE! “How To” on Professional Networking - scheduled for May 4th

At the 31st ISPE DVC Annual Symposium & Exhibition on May 16, we will have a face-to-face networking event.
