Applications Expertise
GTH delivers control and automation solutions across pharmaceutical process control, medical device manufacturing, and plant utilities, helping manufacturers achieve reliable, repeatable operations while meeting stringent regulatory and quality requirements.
Pharmaceutical Process Control
For seamless process control, we ensure your batch or continuous process control system seamlessly integrates with your facility’s essential systems such as sterilization, mixing and granulation, and tableting and tablet coating
Medical Device Manufacturing
We are intimately familiar with the strict regulations medical device manufacturers are subject to and will ensure your instrumentation and software is setup to help you easily meet requirements such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11
Automated Plant Utility Systems
Our control and automation solution experience also covers essential equipment that is not directly part of the production process such as sterilization in place (SIP) systems and refrigeration and freezing units or rooms
Data Analytics
Collecting, storing, and analyzing production data is essential in pharmaceutical and life sciences operations. With SCADA and OEE software, teams gain real-time visibility and predictive insights to support compliance, efficiency, and informed decision-making.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Control panel development, PLC and SCADA integration, and calibration services support compliant, traceable, and reliable operations across pharmaceutical and life sciences production environments.
UL Control Panel Development
As a full-service UL control panel provider, we design, build, test, and commission panels to your specifications. From RTU, VFD, and MCC panels to gas detection systems, we deliver reliable solutions for water and wastewater, including NEMA 4X and corrosive environments.
PLC & SCADA Programming & Integration
GTH develops and modernizes PLC and SCADA systems for pharmaceutical and medical device operations. Our platform-agnostic solutions deliver repeatability, data traceability, and compliance, backed by decades of integration experience and certified expertise across leading platforms.
Instrument Calibration and Repair
GTH provides onsite and in-house industrial services to maintain system performance and reduce downtime, including NIST-traceable calibration, ISA-compliant documentation, and instrument troubleshooting and repair, backed by experienced technicians and reliable service support.
Their history as a distributor, with specific knowledge about a breadth of parts, seems to lead to extensive knowledge about how to design and build a control system.
Definitely the speed of development was key. We were in a time crunch with this aspect of development. They get the work done quickly and they helped us choose the tradeoffs that made the most sense.
If we have design needs, they can take care of those too. This is great because we can cover a range of projects with GTH.
We have such an overall positive experience with GTH. The number one thing for us is communication. We need to be able to get across problems/ issues and resolve them quickly. Their open communication makes that easy.

Pharmaceutical & Life Science FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our services, processes, and expertise to help you better understand how GTH supports your operation.-
How can pharmaceutical manufacturers modernize legacy control systems without disrupting production?
Modernization projects often involve phased upgrades to PLC hardware, instrumentation, and SCADA systems while maintaining existing operations. By carefully planning migrations, manufacturers can improve reliability, cybersecurity, and data visibility while minimizing production downtime.
-
How can automation help pharmaceutical manufacturers maintain regulatory compliance?
Automation systems help maintain compliance by providing controlled processes, documented procedures, and traceable production data. PLC and SCADA platforms capture process parameters, alarms, and operator actions, creating reliable electronic records that support FDA requirements and internal quality programs.
-
What automation challenges are common in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities?
Pharmaceutical facilities often face challenges such as integrating legacy equipment, maintaining validated systems during upgrades, ensuring data integrity, and supporting strict regulatory documentation. Automation strategies must balance operational efficiency with compliance and process traceability.
-
What role does process automation play in batch consistency and product quality?
Automation helps maintain consistent process parameters such as temperature, pressure, mixing speeds, and flow rates. By tightly controlling these variables, automated systems help manufacturers maintain repeatable batch performance and reduce the risk of process deviations.
-
How can pharmaceutical facilities improve visibility into their production processes?
Modern control systems provide centralized dashboards, historical data tracking, and reporting capabilities that allow operators and engineers to monitor process performance. These insights help teams detect anomalies, improve efficiency, and support quality investigations when needed.
