Wautoma Automation 4.0: Scaling Precision with Purpose
Smart. Modular. Compliant. Ready for Scale.
In the race to bring advanced therapeutics to market, automation is no longer optional—it’s foundational. But not all automation is created equal. True innovation lives where human-centered design meets intelligent systems.
That’s the idea behind Wautoma Automation 4.0: a new standard in process automation designed specifically for the evolving needs of modern biotech manufacturing. Developed through deep collaboration between our brand strategy team, systems engineers, and product designers, this solution embodies the next generation of operational intelligence—where every feature is purposeful, and every detail is built to scale.
The Vision: Process Automation, Reimagined
Wautoma Automation 4.0 was developed to serve the emerging generation of biotech innovators—companies that need more than just machines. They need flexible systems, cleanroom compatibility, real-time data visibility, and the ability to scale processes without re-engineering them from scratch.
The result is a modular, mobile, and cloud-ready platform that merges SCADA, MES, and HMI functionality into one seamless experience.
The Console: Control from Anywhere
The Wautoma Cloud Console is the centerpiece of the system—a fully mobile, battery-powered SCADA interface that allows operators to control the entire suite of upstream and downstream operations from a single, Wi-Fi-connected interface. Whether docked or unplugged, the console remains functional and secure, eliminating the friction of fixed, wired systems.
- Wi-Fi and lithium-powered mobility
- Real-time visibility across unit operations
- Customizable displays and graphics
- Modular integration with existing systems
🌐 From Local to Cloud—Seamlessly
With cloud integration, users can aggregate process data, enable remote access, and apply AI/ML tools for predictive analytics. Thanks to Edge technology, Wautoma Automation 4.0 separates Operational Technology (OT) from Information Technology (IT)—giving control back to the process engineers.
No more relying on IT to extract insights from your bioprocess data.
Designed to Grow with You
Like everything we build at Wautoma, the automation platform was engineered with scalability, modularity, and configurability in mind. As your therapeutic programs grow, your automation grows with you—no reconfiguration required.
And because it’s brand-agnostic, Wautoma 4.0 plays well with other vendors and legacy systems—eliminating lock-in and ensuring you retain control of your process stack.
Built for Compliance. And Confidence.
Wautoma Automation 4.0 isn’t just powerful—it’s compliant from day one.
- ISA-88 (S-88) batch processing standards
- 21 CFR Part 11 electronic record compliance
- GAMP5 risk-based validation methodology
These standards ensure your automation is not just fast but reliable, auditable, and regulatory-ready.
Hardware That Matches the Intelligence
The AMW Series Mobile Operator Workstations, developed in collaboration with ARISTA, complete the picture:
- Battery-powered, Wi-Fi-enabled, fully enclosed systems
- Single to triple-screen configurations optimized for DCS/HMI environments
- NEMA 4X / IP66 stainless steel construction for cleanroom readiness
- Custom mountings for barcode scanning, printing, and multi-user workflows
These mobile units reduce hardware redundancy, increase flexibility, and unlock massive productivity gains—without compromising compliance or cleanliness.
Strategy in Every Pixel
From interface to enclosure, everything was designed with intent. We worked across disciplines—brand, engineering, UX, compliance—to create a visual and operational system that is:
- Quietly elegant
- Intuitively functional
- Scalable by design
- Strategically positioned
As your science advances, Wautoma Automation 4.0 is built to move with it.
Final Word
In biotech, scaling isn’t just about throughput—it’s about intelligent adaptability. With Wautoma Automation 4.0, we delivered a future-proof platform for smart, compliant, human-centered automation.
