Abstract
This research illustrates the theoretical design of an automated vacuum control system with the purpose of enhancing particle removal efficiency in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Cleanliness and contamination control is critical in pharmaceutical environments, where even trace levels of particulates can compromise product quality and regulatory compliance. The proposed design integrates sensor feedback, programmable logic control (PLC) and real-time monitoring to optimize vacuum operation across all manufacturing areas. The methodology combines system requirement analysis, hardware-software integration and performance validation in a controlled experimental setup. The intended results of this design research will demonstrate improved particle extraction, reduced manual intervention, and consistent compliance to regulatory manufacturing cleanroom standards. This design research highlights the reach of automation in improving operational reliability and regulatory compliance within pharmaceutical production facilities.
