PBS Biotech has integrated Rockwell Automation technology into its MiniPRO bioreactor platform to accelerate cell therapy development. The system features up to 24 independently controlled bioreactors and uses FactoryTalk software to deliver real-time process control. The platform addresses industry challenges including low-throughput workflows and non-standardised environments that slow progress in Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products development. By embedding industrial-grade automation during product development, the system enables seamless progression to clinical and commercial manufacturing. The Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute adopted the platform, noting that integration with existing control systems is streamlined due to Rockwell's standardised technology. PBS Biotech has demonstrated consistent process performance between the MiniPRO and its larger-scale Vertical-Wheel bioreactors, supporting predictable transfer into Good Manufacturing Practice settings.
