Pharmaceutical
HBT’s Critical Technologies group partners with pharmaceutical and life sciences organizations to deliver high-performance automation for the most critical and regulated environments. We bring deep expertise in cleanrooms, manufacturing suites, laboratories, and central utility plants, designing and implementing controls that prioritize reliability, compliance, and operational continuity.
We work alongside owners, engineers, and validation teams so systems meet today’s regulatory expectations and adapt to tomorrow’s. We’re more than a controls provider. We’re a long-term technical partner, helping facilities reduce risk, protect data integrity, and operate with confidence in every controlled space.
Pharmaceutical and life sciences facilities carry a different level of scrutiny than a typical commercial building. We design for HEPA and ULPA filtration, 100% outside air systems, and the tight differential pressure control cleanrooms demand. Our systems support IQ/OQ/PQ validation and are built around ALCOA+ data integrity principles, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and EU Annex 11 requirements, so your facility stays audit ready.
These environments also typically run three to five times the energy of a standard commercial building. We design controls that target a 20 to 30 percent reduction without ever compromising compliance.
How We Engineer It
- PLC and SCADA integration on Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Ignition, tied together on a single dashboard
- Engineering managed DevOps-style, with GitHub for source control and automated testing before every SCADA release
- 100% in-house engineering, turnkey or partial scope, with project sizes ranging from $5K to $30MM
- OSHA 30 and NFPA 70E trained teams, with a dedicated Site Safety Coordinator assigned on larger sites
We bring the same engineering discipline to every project, regardless of scale.
Why HBT
- Precise temperature, humidity, and differential pressure control
- Continuous monitoring of critical environments
- Designed with FDA and GMP compliance in mind
- Alarm management and monitoring
- Supports audit readiness
We believe in doing things right. We believe in business integrity, unparalleled service, and dependable solutions for every project we touch.
