Hire Certified PLC Programmers for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Validation-first controls under GMP and GAMP 5 — 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails and IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, from programmers who have done it.
Why this industry is different
Pharmaceutical controls are validation-first. Under GMP and GAMP 5, a PLC change is not done when it works — it is done when it is documented, tested and validated through IQ/OQ/PQ with a paper trail an inspector can follow. Programmers who have never worked to that discipline tend to underestimate it by an order of magnitude.
Data integrity is the other half: 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails, ALCOA principles and controlled electronic records shape how the logic and HMI are even allowed to be written. We match you with programmers who have delivered validated systems in a GMP environment and can produce the documentation to prove it.
