Duke Control Systems delivers precision automation for life sciences manufacturers — including medical device assembly, contact lens production, pharmaceutical filling and cleanroom environments. We design and commission control systems built to meet the compliance, traceability and quality standards this sector demands.
Life sciences environments demand precision, compliance and traceability above all else. Our engineers understand the unique challenges of automating in regulated, cleanroom and GMP environments — and deliver systems built for validation from day one.
FDA, MHRA, ISO 13485 and GMP frameworks govern every aspect of life sciences production. Control systems must support full auditability, traceability and validation documentation.
Automation in ISO-classified cleanrooms requires careful equipment selection, cable routing and panel design to maintain the environmental integrity of the controlled space.
Medical device assembly, contact lens production and pharmaceutical filling all demand micron-level accuracy and absolute consistency across millions of production cycles.
IQ, OQ and PQ documentation is mandatory in regulated environments. Control systems must be designed and documented to support the full validation lifecycle from the outset.
PLC and robot programming for medical device assembly lines — precise, validated and compliant with ISO 13485 quality management requirements throughout.
Control systems for contact lens manufacturing including mould filling, UV curing, demoulding, lens inspection and packaging automation — with full production traceability at every stage.
Automated filling, capping, labelling and packaging lines for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products — engineered for GMP compliance from the outset.
Automation systems designed for ISO-classified cleanroom environments — minimising contamination risk while maximising throughput, reliability and ease of cleaning.
Automated vision inspection for defect detection, dimensional verification, label checking and serialisation — essential for regulated life sciences production lines.
Structured control system documentation to support Installation, Operational and Performance Qualification activities — produced alongside delivery and aligned to your validation plan.
We design control systems with regulatory compliance built in from the outset — FDA, MHRA, GMP and ISO 13485 frameworks considered at every stage of the project.
Structured IQ/OQ/PQ documentation produced alongside control system delivery — supporting your validation team and quality department throughout.
Experience working in ISO-classified cleanroom environments — understanding the gowning protocols, equipment requirements and procedural disciplines involved.
We design automation with data integrity, serialisation and batch traceability built in — supporting your audit trail and regulatory submissions.
We recommend the right platform for your application — Siemens, Rockwell, Mitsubishi or Beckhoff — with no manufacturer bias or preferred supplier arrangements.
From initial design and panel build through to commissioning, validation support and long-term maintenance — one trusted partner throughout the project.
"Working with Duke Control Systems gave us confidence throughout the project. Their engineers clearly knew the systems inside out and their commissioning approach was methodical and professional."Engineering Manager — UK Manufacturing Client
