IRIS Foundry replaces siloed, outdated systems with a unified dashboard that provides live insights into every stage of SIP/CIP cycles—cutting guesswork and enabling immediate action.
2. Granular Data = Greater Control
Operators can track each step of every cycle—cleaning or sterilizing—against expected values, helping identify issues early and reduce downtime.
3. Performance Analytics Drive Improvement
Historical data and real-time analytics help teams validate processes, monitor trends, and continuously improve cleaning and sterilization performance.
4. Golden Run = Instant Benchmarking
The Golden Run comparison feature lets operators quickly spot deviations from ideal performance—turning routine monitoring into proactive optimization.
5. Compliance Without the Chaos
An FDA Compliance Dashboard centralizes reports, deviations, and readiness data, streamlining audits and removing manual overhead.
Smarter, Safer, Cleaner: Revolutionizing SIP and CIP with IRIS Foundry
In industries where hygiene isn’t just important—it’s mission-critical—Sterilize-In-Place (SIP) and Clean-In-Place (CIP) operations are at the heart of daily routines. Think pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, or chemicals—anywhere that contamination could spell disaster. These processes clean and sterilize internal surfaces of pipes, vessels, and other equipment without the need to dismantle anything, making them essential for safety and efficiency.
But as vital as SIP and CIP are, managing them effectively has always been a challenge. SymphonyAI’s IRIS Foundry platform is turning old-school cleaning processes into smart, streamlined operations.
From Legacy to Legendary: A New Look at SIP/CIP
Traditionally, SIP and CIP have relied on rigid, hardcoded systems and siloed data. Operators were often left in the dark with limited visibility, relying on outdated HMIs or manual logs that slowed down audits and diagnostics.
IRIS Foundry flips that script.
Built entirely on the IRIS Foundry platform, the SIP/CIP monitoring app delivers real-time insight, operational control, and data-driven decision-making—all in one unified interface.
One Dashboard. Total Visibility.
At the core of this transformation is a live, intuitive dashboard powered by a backend that ingests data from ERPs, historians, sensors, and more—all funneled into a single IRIS Foundry Data Lake.
Operators now get a real-time view of:
- Current cycle steps
- System status and progress
- Key process parameters like temperature, flow rate, concentration, and conductivity
This means no more guesswork. You’ll know exactly what’s happening, when, and where. If something’s out of spec, operators can catch it early—before it becomes a costly issue.
Granular Detail = Total Control
IRIS Foundry CIP SIP app doesn’t just show the big picture—it dives into the details. Each SIP and CIP cycle is broken down by:
- Process type (cleaning or sterilizing)
- Expected vs. actual duration
- Completion status
This kind of traceability helps operators quickly identify any step that deviates from the norm, like an extended sterilization or a failed rinse. The result? Faster troubleshooting, reduced downtime, and higher process reliability.
Performance Analytics: Insight That Drives Action
Where the app really shines is in its Performance Analytics section. With visual insights into historical performance, teams can easily monitor how vital parameters behave over time:
- Temperature graphs validate sterilization effectiveness.
- Flow rate charts confirm cleaning solution coverage.
- Conductivity tracking ensures chemical presence or rinse quality.
Real-time scatter plots and trend analysis work as both a proactive warning system and a continuous improvement tool.
Historical Data That Works for You
The Historical Run Data screen gives teams a complete log of past SIP/CIP cycles. Whether you’re preparing for an audit or trying to spot recurring anomalies, this data is gold. Quality teams and plant managers can:
- Benchmark performance across batches
- Identify long-term trends
- Optimize training and SOPs
No more digging through spreadsheets or piecing together logs—the insights are ready when you are.
Golden Run Comparison: Instant Clarity
One of the most impactful features is the Golden Run view. It lets operators compare a current cleaning cycle to a predefined “ideal” run. At a glance, users can see:
- What’s within spec
- What’s underperforming
- What needs immediate attention
It’s like having a built-in coach that helps you improve in real time.
Compliance Made Simple
Regulatory pressure is real, especially with FDA oversight. IRIS Foundry simplifies compliance with a dedicated FDA Compliance Dashboard that enables teams to:
- Track recent deviations
- Monitor system readiness
- Access reports
- Generate custom compliance docs
It’s all centralized, searchable, and ready for audits—no manual aggregation or disconnected systems required.
What Sets This Apart?
Most legacy SIP/CIP systems still struggle with:
- Hardcoded logic and limited visibility
- Siloed data across plant systems
- Manual audits and paperwork
- Clunky interfaces that hide more than they reveal
We took a bold approach by rethinking everything with IRIS Foundry:
✅ Unified Data, One Source of Truth
ERP, historians, and IoT sensors—all brought together seamlessly into a scalable, intelligent Data Lake.
✅ CI/CD Pipelines for Industrial Ops
