8 reasons to choose a Steritech autoclave control system

Do you use an autoclave for medical and surgical materials, products, instruments? Or for food products? And are you wondering about the benefits of an autoclave control system? At Steritech we want to the best for our customers, and our Trilogy control system is first and foremost a solution for modernizing sterilization facilities.

Automation and available information are its main applications. But that’s not all. Our control system improves the profitability of a production line. It also increases the safety of food, pharmaceutical and medical products. Find out why our control system is the best control system for your autoclave.

Autoclave control system: a software-machine interface

The Autoclave Control System is an interface between computer software and an autoclave sterilizer. It precisely controls sterilization parameters. It offers excellent features such as:

• real-time monitoring of sterilization processes;
• traceability of sterilization cycles;
• cycle and product customization options for improved quality;
• powerful equipment control tools;
• a preventive maintenance and equipment monitoring tool to keep machines in good working order.

Reasons for choosing a control system for your autoclaves

Need to turn your sterilizer autoclave into a connected device? The Trilogy Autoclave Control System is the answer. It can be installed in any size facility. It is compatible with water spray, air/steam, and bi-process autoclaves. Here are eight good reasons to install one.

Use an autoclave control system for production information availability

Data is the black gold of Industry 4.0. An autoclave control system gathers all your strategic information. This data is always available, in complete security, whenever you need it. The software sends messages that can be viewed remotely by any user with access. The best control systems classify information by subjects: production, management, maintenance.

Autoclave control system designed to ensure system interconnectivity

System interconnection is possible with sterilizer control software. It is designed to provide ad hoc connection infrastructure. So, it is possible to connect:

• multiple autoclave sterilizers in the same site;
• multiple autoclave sterilizers in different locations;
• autoclave sterilizers to external systems.

Professional control software can also be integrated with existing SCADA systems.

Autoclave control system provides easy integration with existing autoclaves

One of the most important reasons for choosing an autoclave control system is interoperability. In fact, these software packages are designed to integrate with existing autoclaves. They can be used with new equipment of the same or different brands. It is also possible to integrate them into retrofitted autoclaves.

Autoclave control system provides predictive and corrective maintenance

Sterilization processes require a continuous analysis of operating data. Control systems provide a continuous view of equipment status and anticipate maintenance needs. They enable you to:

• create a maintenance schedule;
• plan and explain actions to be taken;
• assist in the procurement of spare parts.

These systems also provide self-diagnosis and remote maintenance.

Use an autoclave control system to save energy

We understand the importance of saving energy. Whether for economic or environmental reasons. That is why you should consider our control system for your autoclave. Reducing consumption is one of the major benefits of an autoclave control system. They reduce cycle times by providing solutions for fine-tuning sterilization processes. They guarantee temperature and pressure regulation thanks to highly sensitive sensors:

• temperature resolution to one hundredth of a degree;
• pressure regulation to one hundredth of a bar.

Self-diagnostics and curve visibility allow energy-saving measures to be implemented.

Use the control system to make processes more reliable

Helping you with the various processes is another reason to choose an autoclave control system. Installing control software eliminates human error. Its intuitive interface makes it easier to learn the machines. It also reduces training time for new operators. In addition, automatic alarms provide real-time warnings so that adjustments can be made quickly if necessary. For example, the system checks for process deviations outside of operating ranges.

Improved security with an autoclave control system

An autoclave control system increases safety. Software reminds you of safety precautions to follow during maintenance. The systems also ensure sterilization safety. It protects:

• your autoclaves;
• your customers’ products;
• your personnel.

In terms of hardware, the control systems integrate an industrial PC (IPC) and do not require an electrical cabinet. They have IP65 protection and a control unit that can be handled with dirty and/or wet hands.

Choose to use an autoclave control system for greater profitability

On a purely technical level, the efficiency gains associated with integrating an autoclave control system can be as high as 20%. What’s more, they offer a management component that goes even further. Dashboard customization is extremely extensive. This allows you to optimize the management of your sterilization data for greater profitability. Costing options are available, such as product costing or autoclave efficiency.

Steering system: optimized management and operation

In short, the Trilogy Autoclave Control System is an optimization solution. It upgrades new, rebuilt or retrofitted sterilizers of all brands. It increases the productivity of a sterilization facility while maintaining a high level of health and safety. Whether you use an autoclave for medical, surgical or food products, give your customers the best with our autoclave control system.
