Reliability issues threatened production

AbbVie’s Headquarters in Cork faced frequent HMI errors in their cleanrooms, compromising their essential 24/7 production requirements.

The existing setup relied on complex KVM connections between cleanrooms and external PCs, creating persistent maintenance challenges and increasing downtime risk.

As a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer, AbbVie needed a solution that would eliminate these vulnerabilities while maintaining cleanroom integrity.

Solution

New HMIs reduced complexity

Blue Line implemented the HMI Operator Touch PC solution with a hinged keyboard and on-board client which eliminated the need for KVM extenders and simplified the entire system architecture.

After thorough on-site evaluation, Blue Line designed an installation that reduced complexity while delivering enhanced reliability.

Making the products easy to handle and maintain was of the highest priority, as fewer repairs and errors achieves a cost effective solution with minimal downtime.
The solution’s integrated approach significantly reduced potential points of failure while maintaining strict cleanroom standards.
