We’re excited to announce that our Industrial Foundation Networks (IFN) team will be exhibiting at the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Science and Technology Showcase (MAST), hosted by the ISPE Chesapeake Bay Area Chapter. The event takes place Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, and it’s the largest event of the year for the Maryland ISPE chapter.
MAST draws a dynamic crowd of pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences professionals. With 90+ industry exhibitors, four educational tracks, and career development workshops, it’s a must-attend for anyone working in regulated environments.
And the best part? It’s free to attend—you just need to register in advance.
Meet Our IFN Team at the Event
We’ll be at MAST to introduce attendees to our Industrial Foundation Network (IFN)—a robust and secure OT infrastructure designed specifically for life sciences environments. Stop by our booth to meet:
- Mark Riehm, IFN Product Manager
- Mike Lenau, from our Maryland Business Unit
- Cody Smith, also representing our Maryland team
We’re looking forward to connecting with industry leaders, automation experts, and life science innovators who are looking for scalable, compliant, and cyber-secure operational technology platforms.
As Mark Riehm explains, “Our IFN provides a solid OT infrastructure foundation for life sciences. It’s an integrated OT platform that delivers consistent and reliable infrastructure across both lab and production automation systems.”
What Makes Our IFN Ideal for Life Sciences
Our IFN solution was built with regulatory compliance and operational excellence in mind. Designed to meet FDA and GMP standards, it provides 14 foundational OT infrastructure functions that are critical in any life sciences operation.
Some of the key benefits include:
- High availability to support 24/7 operations
- Cybersecurity built into every layer of the infrastructure
- Scalability to grow alongside your automation needs
- Standardization for faster deployment and easier validation
Whether you’re managing a single facility or scaling across a global enterprise, our IFN brings structure and repeatability to your OT systems—something that’s often missing in hybrid IT/OT environments.
