Kemwell - RADWAG Multi Connect
Multi-instrument data collection system for pharmaceutical manufacturing, reading several Radwag balances at once.
The client
Kemwell is a pharmaceutical manufacturer. In a GMP environment, weighing data feeds batch records, and batch records feed regulatory audits, so every reading needs to be captured accurately, attributed, and preserved. Kemwell’s bench had multiple Radwag instruments feeding one process, and the readings were being handled instrument by instrument.
What we built
A desktop application that connects to several Radwag balances simultaneously and collects their data into one place.
- Multi-instrument serial connections managed in a single application, so one operator sees every balance on the bench.
- Structured data capture per instrument, per reading, with the timestamps and attribution a pharmaceutical audit expects.
- Runs on-premise, offline, on the manufacturing floor machine, without depending on network access.
How it was built
Electron.js on Node.js with the Serial Port API handling the concurrent instrument connections. The architecture is the same one proven on the BIS Data Assistant - talk to the hardware directly, keep records local and immutable, ship as a desktop installer - extended to handle many instruments at once. Built and delivered as a desktop application, in weeks.
