Integrations
No rip-and-replace. Sterira layers on top.
Sterira is an intelligence layer, not another machine. It connects to the filling, isolator, lyophilizer, inspection, and MES systems you already run, reading first, then graduating to bounded control as each integration is validated.
What connects
Every system on the fill-finish line.
Filling machines
Peristaltic, rotary-piston, and time-pressure fillers over their control interface.
Isolators & RABS
Environmental, pressure, and airflow data plus intervention logging.
Lyophilizers
Shelf, chamber, and condenser telemetry with recipe control.
Inspection systems
Vision stations and AVI hardware for defect and CCI data.
MES / EBR
Electronic batch records for review-by-exception aggregation.
Historians & SCADA
Bidirectional data with OSIsoft-class historians and SCADA layers.
Protocols
Standards-based, not bespoke.
Connections use the interfaces your equipment already exposes (OPC UA, REST, and historian APIs), so integration is a configuration exercise, not a custom engineering project per site.
- OPC UA for machine and SCADA data.
- REST APIs for MES, historian, and cloud.
- On-prem edge for deterministic latency.
The path to control
Read first. Control when validated.
- 01
Observe
Read-only connection streams data for modeling and baselining. No process impact.
- 02
Advise
The agent recommends actions to operators, building trust and evidence.
- 03
Assist
Bounded closed-loop control on low-risk parameters under supervision.
- 04
Operate
Full autonomous control within the validated envelope, reviewable and reversible.
Deployment
Runs at the isolator edge, syncs to your cloud.
Perception and control execute on an on-prem edge node for deterministic latency and data residency, while aggregated telemetry syncs to your historian and, if you choose, a private cloud tenant.
See security architecture →Principles
Integration that respects your validated state.
Read-only by default
Nothing writes to a machine until that path is explicitly validated.
Standard protocols
OPC UA and REST, not a proprietary bus you have to maintain.
Data residency respected
Edge-first architecture keeps sensitive data on-prem.
Common topologies
However your line is built.
Single line pilot
One edge node reading one line's filler, isolator, and inspection data.
Full suite
Edge nodes across fill, lyo, and inspection unified under one trail.
Multi-site
Site-local edge with aggregated fleet visibility across a network.
CDMO multi-tenant
Isolated tenants per client program with strict data separation.
"We connected read-only in a fortnight without touching our validated state. Control came later, on our timeline, once the evidence was there."

FAQ
Common questions.
If it exposes OPC UA, a control API, or a historian feed (which nearly all modern production equipment does), we can integrate. We confirm specifics during scoping.
Read-only connections have no process impact. Any control path is validated with your quality team before it is enabled.
At the edge on-prem by default, with optional sync to your historian or a private cloud tenant. See security.
Connect one line, read-only, this quarter.
Start with observation and graduate to control on your timeline.
