It has reduced downtime and allows the team to have access to the data for review, which has helped them to increase productivity and resulting yield.

"It gives us one common format to look at and collect data and provides us with the ability to compare data from multiple areas."

Erik Westberg

Automation Engineer, Pfizer, Inc.

Pfizer has been working with GE Vernova’s partner, AutomaTech for over 15 years to help find the GE Vernova suite of solutions that fit their needs. “We’ve upgraded historians, we’ve upgraded SCADA servers and client applications.
