Cleanroom data is the new battleground

Everyone is talking about AI. But AI without trusted data is just expensive fiction. In cleanrooms, we already generate massive amounts of data every single day: temperature, relative humidity, pressure cascades, airflow, energy consumption, alarms, door movements, HVAC performance, filter behavior. The real question is never do we have data? The real question is: can we…

AI will not fix poor cleanroom data

Data in cleanrooms is massively underestimated. Not because there is too little data. But because we too often assume that the data is correct, complete and reliable. And that is exactly where the problem starts. AI does not fix bad data. It amplifies it. Read more [Picture source: ABN Cleanroom Technology NV…

Does a dryroom require a different approach than a cleanroom?

The core difference: A #cleanroom controls airborne particle concentration, classified under ISO 14644-1. A #dryroom controls dew point, the temperature at which moisture condenses from the air. Standard cleanroom HVAC systems cannot reach the dew point levels required for battery or advanced materials manufacturing. Read more [Picture source: ABN Cleanroom Technology NV…

How often should a cleanroom be validated?

Validation frequency is not just a matter of time. It is a matter of control and should always be defined in detail in your validation master plan (VMP). A Validation Master Plan contains a high-level document that outlines the overall strategy, approach and resources for validating systems, equipment and processes. Read more

Do you always need humidity control in a cleanroom?

Humidity control is not explicitly required by cleanroom standards such as ISO14644, which primarily focus on particle concentration. However, in practice, humidity control is often essential to ensure stable and reliable cleanroom operation. Humidity directly affects product quality, equipment performance and operator behaviour. Without proper control, variations can compromise the integrity of the controlled environment. Its…

What makes a cleanroom expensive (for the wrong reason)?

Cleanrooms often become expensive not because of technology, but because every project starts from scratch every single time. In many traditional projects, engineers redesign airflow concepts, pressure cascades, control strategies and wall systems again and again. As a result, specifications tend to accumulate without always questioning what the process truly requires. Read…
