Integro Technologies to showcase new data archiving software
SALISBURY — Realizing the need for effective and efficient user traceability and data archiving, Integro Technologies has designed and developed the VisionVault solution, which streamlines compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations while enhancing security with centralized username and password control.
“Integro Technologies is excited to showcase our VisionVault software for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance,” said Starke Farley, senior sales engineer for Integro Technologies. “The solution provides full traceability for a Cognex In-Sight install base that is searchable from any web browser on the network. Using MS Active Directory for user authentication, the system provides data regarding who logged in, what terminal they logged in from, what changes they made and if they saved the file or just ‘tested’ a new setup.”

VisionVault provides the data archiving and traceability solutions to comply with FDA requirements for:
• Access limited to authorized individuals only
• Time-stamped audit trails for optimized traceability
• Ability to generate complete and accurate copies for FDA review
• Capability to discern invalid or records altered after the fact
The Integro Technologies team will be on hand at INTERPHEX 2018 in New York, New York, from April 17-19 in booth No. 3171 to highlight the VisionVault Package, a true state-of-the-art solution for pharmaceutical manufacturing that makes Cognex In-Sight camera installations fully FDA compliant.
