IntelliFlux Controls has launched its brand new web based reporting and decision support toolkit. This toolkit provides plant engineers and operators the ability to access plant performance information from anywhere, anytime. It also makes report generation a matter of “two clicks”.
IntelliFlux remote monitiroing and reporting toolkit is an addition to the core automation platform of Intelliflux. The web component can generate reports in many pre-defined configurations that can be customized to each plant, and every need. The reporting toolkit can also be configured to automatically generate and disseminate reports according to a pre-defined schedule (daily, weekly, monthly). Engineers, managers, and operators can customize the reports from the web-based interface. The flexibility of monitoring and reporting plant performance KPIs from anywhere, and anytime makes IntelliFlux reporting tool an extremely powerful decision support tool.
“At IntelliFlux, our goal is to provide the engineers and operators freedom to monitor the performance of a plant from anywhere, anytime. The reporting tool simplifies one of the tasks of an operator or plant engineer dramatically, the task of collating historical data, and converting them into reports for management, operations, corporate, and even regulatory authorities. IntelliFlux reporting tool is designed to automate this process, so that the operations teams can focus on analyzing the results, instead of devoting time on generating them.”

After rapid integration of NIH-funded Librede technology, company now focused on scaling to commercial quantities and launching new consumer products
BERKELEY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lygos, Inc., a full-stack provider of sustainable specialty ingredients that deliver high-value performance without environmental toxicity, has announced the successful validation of a novel cannabinoid production pathway using its proprietary fermentation and processing technology. A direct result of the recent Librede acquisition and integration of additional Lygos technology advances, the new fermentation process enables the production of any cannabinoid and cannabinoid-based product of interest in an environmentally safe, sustainable and cost-effective manner at industrial scale (>100 kg) for numerous consumer markets.
Librede, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lygos, had primarily operated on grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) prior to the Lygos acquisition. The company’s technology was designed for the low-cost production of a wide range of valuable cannabinoid compounds that are not easily accessible through traditional agricultural means. The platform supports both ultra-rare and common cannabinoids, such as CBD, that feature compelling performance, economic and environmental advantages over traditional plant-based alternatives.
“Librede’s vision was to create a production platform for any cannabinoid at costs to drive widespread consumer access,” said Jason Poulos, PhD, CEO of Librede. “To advance this vision, we needed the ability to access any compound, scale our technology to levels that support consumer product manufacturing, and form key marketing relationships for existing and emerging markets. We have achieved the first of these objectives, have definitive plans for the second, and are working diligently on the third. We are now very close to advancing the platform to provide direct benefit to consumers.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased at the speed with which the Librede and Lygos teams integrated efforts and technologies despite the global pandemic and shutdowns. These rapid advances have accelerated our timetable for forming partnerships and delivering new cannabinoid-enabled products into the market,” said Eric Steen, PhD, CEO of Lygos. “By delivering high quality, pure and sustainable cannabinoids at commercial volumes and competitive prices, we are poised to rapidly enter high-growth consumer market segments with Lygos branded or co-branded products by capitalizing on the expertise and reach of our strategic partners.”
