Retort Upgrading for Surge

Abstract

Four GFE Stock 1100 retort control systems were upgraded and validated for deployed at a ration producer. Various control systems were compared and evaluated. An important decision criterion was commercial off the shelf hardware and software. The control systems application needed to comply with FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 "Rule for Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures", and be able to support both a stand alone environment and a client-server environment, where multiple retort control systems can be managed from a single location. The control system that was selected was marketed by Stock America Inc, the vendor of the retort equipment. Their control system complied with all of our criteria.
