FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE

Fresenius Medical Care’s manufacturing campus in Ogden, Utah—spanning more than one million square feet across 40+ acres—produces critical medical devices including dialyzers, peritoneal dialysis solutions, and connectors used by patients worldwide. With over 1,000 employees and production areas governed by FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations, environmental control is fundamental to product safety and regulatory standing. 

The facility’s aging building automation system had become an operational liability. Staff relied on manual processes to record pressure differentials across cleanrooms, laboratories, and production zones—a labor-intensive practice that introduced human error and left the organization exposed during regulatory audits. The existing BAS provided limited visibility into system performance, creating persistent risk of unplanned downtime that could interrupt manufacturing and trigger compliance events. 

Fresenius Medical Care needed a partner who could deliver a modern, validated building automation platform capable of automating pressure monitoring, providing real-time operational visibility, and supporting the facility’s rigorous federal compliance requirements—all without disrupting active production.

Control Solutions Group (CSG), the authorized ALC dealer in Utah, deployed the Automated Logic WebCTRL® building automation system (BAS) as the central control platform, executing a multiyear phased migration timed during scheduled shutdowns to eliminate production risk. 

CSG replaced manual pressure logging with calibratable digital monitoring stations across dozens of air handling units serving cleanroom and laboratory environments. The WebCTRL system provides continuous automated data logging with real-time dashboards and proactive alarming— delivering electronic records and audit documentation for FDA compliance. The integrated solution encompasses:

• Dozens of AHUs with automated pressure differential monitoring across cleanrooms, labs, and production zones. 
• Calibratable digital pressure stations replacing manual analog recording. 
• Real-time dashboards for room-to-room differentials, mean kinetic temperature warehouse monitoring, and lab conditions. 
• Central heating plant integration with steam boilers and heat exchangers. 
• VAV systems and RTUs serving office and administrative environments. 
• Production floor equipment touch displays for local operator visibility. 
• Energy efficiency strategies implemented during each upgrade phase.

Automated Logic’s open platform model provides customers full access to WebCTRL tools, empowering them to self‑perform modifications and maintain long‑term control of their systems.
