Temperature control is critical for the pharmaceutical industry. Proper temperature control ensures safety, efficacy, and quality. There are a variety of temperature requirements for pharmaceutical products depending on the product type and storage conditions. The US FDA regulates the temperature control requirements in the pharmaceutical industry through the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Neal Systems has extensive experience with ensuring our customers are able to adequately follow sections 211.42.3.10 and 211.142 of the CFR.
CFR Section 211.42.3.10 outlines the temperature and humidity control requirements for drug product storage areas. Drug product storage areas must be designed to maintain proper temperature and humidity levels suitable for the products being stored. These temperatures and humidity levels must be monitored, recorded, and controlled. Any data outliers need to be investigated. This section also requires a written record, that can be made available to the FDA, of temperature and humidity monitoring, to include the date, time, temperature, and humidity readings.
CFR Section 211.142 outlines the temperature control requirements for drug products during manufacturing, processing, and packaging. Drug products must be manufactured, processed, and packaged under appropriate temperature and humidity conditions. This section also states that any equipment used in the manufacturing, processing, or packaging of drug products must be capable of controlling the temperature and humidity levels required for the products.

Automation in your industrial and municipal plants are key to ensuring your process is optimized. Neal Systems team can ensure your measurements, controls, data acquisition, and wireless networking are streamlined and running most effectively.
What are the key reasons you should have NSI evaluate your plant automations?
- Increase Efficiency: Streamlining processes and reducing the time to complete a task means that repetitive and manual tasks can be decreased and workers can focus on more complex and value adding jobs.
- Improved Productivity: Reduction of errors and improving the consistency and accuracy of a process will increase the productivity.
- Reduced Downtime: Downtime losses money. Many of the upgraded automation equipment can predict and identify issues prior to failure, which will allow for maintenance to be performed before downtown can occur.
- Improved Safety: Dangerous or hazardous tasks can often be implemented by automation equipment and monitored either remotely or from a safe location.
- Cost Savings: Reduction of labor costs and improved efficiency in production will lead to cost savings overall.
- Improved Quality: By ensuring the processes are running consistently and error-free, quality overall will increase due to the upgraded automations efficiency.
Is your operation currently hitting all of these 6 key points optimally? Contact our team at NSI for assistance in evaluating your current processes and to see where we can help you to increase efficiency, productivity, safety and cost savings.
