Imagine this: You’re a process engineer at the heart of a critical process design or optimization operation. Whether you’re optimizing a specialty chemical process, scaling up a life sciences innovation, or ensuring product consistency in food and beverages, the stakes are always high. Every day, you’re tasked with taking complex lab data and turning it into actionable insights that seamlessly transition from pilot plant to full-scale production.

The challenge? Traditional process design tools feel clunky, time-consuming, and disconnected from the broader digital ecosystem. Validation is slow, workflows are rigid, and small missteps can snowball into costly delays. Sound familiar?

That’s where the Process Designer from BIOVIA Professional Services comes in—a game-changing generative tool designed to reimagine how process engineers and bench scientists approach process engineering. Read about how BIOVIA Professional Services can accelerate your value!


The Nerve Center of Innovation

In industries as dynamic as ours, process engineers and scientists are the unsung heroes, navigating complex workflows to achieve one goal: the best possible process with maximum yields. Yet, this landscape is fraught with challenges. How do you validate processes faster, adapt to shifting demands, and maintain precision?

The answer lies in having the right tools—tools that don’t just digitize your work but truly empower it. The BIOVIA Professional Services Process Designer does exactly that, offering a drag-and-drop solution that lets you design, evaluate, and execute processes with unprecedented ease and speed.


From Lab to Plant: A Seamless Journey

The Process Designer isn’t just another process modeling tool—it’s a leap forward in process engineering. Picture this:

  • Drag, Drop, and Design: Assemble your process in minutes using modular building blocks called unit operations, each tailored to your industry or workflow. No coding or complex setups required.
  • Connect with Precision: Whether it is one-to-one or one-to-many unit operation connections, the flexibility is at your fingertips.
  • Set Your Targets: Define process set points, analytical goals, and sampling criteria for each unit operation, ensuring every detail is accounted for.

Once your design is complete, the magic truly begins. With a single click, your process model is generatively transformed into a detailed Task Plan within BIOVIA ONE Lab.

Bridging Design and Execution

What sets the Process Designer apart is its seamless integration with BIOVIA ONE Lab. This means:

  • Your Task Plan comes to life, allowing you to execute each unit operation with precision.
  • Sample plans are automatically created and managed based on your design.
  • Real-time conditions and test results are captured effortlessly, feeding directly into analytics for immediate insights.

In short, the Process Designer bridges the gap between process design and execution, creating a digital ecosystem where innovation thrives.


What’s in the Box?

BIOVIA understands that every process and industry is unique. That’s why the Process Designer package includes:

  • The Process Designer application itself.
  • A choice of pre-built process palettes for common workflows, or the option to create custom palettes tailored to your operations.
  • Comprehensive documentation, including installation and user guides, to ensure smooth onboarding.
  • Hands-on training for users and admins, so your team can hit the ground running.

A Better Way Forward

The Process Designer is more than a tool—it’s a shift in how process engineers approach their work. It’s about replacing outdated workflows with intuitive, powerful solutions that save time, reduce errors, and maximize efficiency.

If you’re ready to transform your process engineering and take your operations to the next level, the Process Designer from BIOVIA is your next step. Let’s move the industry forward—one seamless process at a time.
