Graviti Pharmaceuticals Case Study: Temperature and Humidity Control Across Tablet Manufacturing Areas
Graviti Pharmaceuticals makes complex, modified-release and stability-sensitive tablets and capsules for the US market. Mindlabs Anchor monitors temperature and humidity in 13 areas of its oral solid dosage (OSD) plant, from blending and granulation to coating, packing and the warehouse, and alerts the team the moment any area goes out of range.
About Graviti Pharmaceuticals
Graviti Pharmaceuticals is a company established in 2012, focused on complex, modified-release and stability-sensitive generics with a strong presence in the US market. In an OSD plant, every step from granulation to packing happens in a controlled area, and temperature and humidity in each one affect how the product behaves.
What They Needed to Solve
Each step needs its own conditions
Granulation, compression, encapsulation, coating and packing each need their own temperature and humidity limits, and a drift in any one can affect the batch.
Humidity affects the product
Moisture affects how granules dry, how tablets compress, how capsule shells behave and how coatings set. Products that are stability-sensitive leave little margin.
Too many areas to check by hand
Monitoring a whole plant by manual readings is slow and leaves gaps. A USFDA-aligned plant needs a continuous, time-stamped record for every area.

What Mindlabs Monitors
- 1
Warehouse
- What we monitor
- Temperature and humidity where materials and products are stored
- Why it matters
- Stored materials must stay within their labelled conditions before and after manufacture
- Device
- Mindlabs Anchor
- Who's alerted / what's recorded
- The team responsible for that area by SMS and email
- 2
Blending and granulation
- What we monitor
- Temperature and humidity during blending, wet granulation and fluid bed drying
- Why it matters
- Room humidity affects how granules take on and lose moisture, which affects the next steps
- Device
- Mindlabs Anchor
- Who's alerted / what's recorded
- The team responsible for that area by SMS and email
- 3
In-process and WIP
- What we monitor
- Temperature and humidity where in-process materials are handled and held between steps
- Why it matters
- Work-in-progress waiting between steps must stay protected from moisture and heat
- Device
- Mindlabs Anchor
- Who's alerted / what's recorded
- The team responsible for that area by SMS and email
- 4
Compression and encapsulation
- What we monitor
- Temperature and humidity where tablets are pressed and capsules are filled
- Why it matters
- Moisture can cause tablets to stick during compression, and capsule shells can become brittle when too dry or soft when too humid
- Device
- Mindlabs Anchor
- Who's alerted / what's recorded
- The team responsible for that area by SMS and email
- 5
Coating and imprinting
- What we monitor
- Temperature and humidity during film coating and imprinting
- Why it matters
- Room conditions affect how coatings dry and set, and how print holds on the tablet
- Device
- Mindlabs Anchor
- Who's alerted / what's recorded
- The team responsible for that area by SMS and email
- 6
Inspection and packing
- What we monitor
- Temperature and humidity during final inspection and packing
- Why it matters
- Finished products are exposed to the room until sealed, so conditions must hold right up to packing
- Device
- Mindlabs Anchor
- Who's alerted / what's recorded
- The team responsible for that area by SMS and email
When a Reading Goes Out of Range
- 1
An area crosses its temperature or humidity limit.
- 2
Mindlabs logs the excursion with the area, reading, start time and duration.
- 3
The team responsible for that area gets an SMS and email alert at once.
- 4
The team acts, and the record shows when conditions returned to range.
- 5
QA pulls a PDF or CSV report for the excursion for its own investigation.
How It Helps Day to Day
One plant, 13 areas, one dashboard
Production and QA see every area's live readings and history.
Limits per area
Each area has its own temperature and humidity limits.
Alerts to the right team
SMS and email to the team responsible, with an optional on-site wireless alarm.
Accurate readings
±0.5°C and ±3% RH.
Data integrity
Time-stamped readings, audit trails and user access control on the Mindlabs cloud.
Validation support
Mindlabs provides CSV documentation for the customer's validation.
Results
All 13 areas have a continuous temperature and humidity record instead of periodic manual readings.
Drift in any area is caught and acted on before it becomes a deviation.
QA can pull the record for any area and any batch date in minutes.
Production and QA work from the same data.
Devices Used
Mindlabs Anchor
Real-time wireless temperature and humidity data logger. ±0.5°C, ±3% RH, 4G/2G/Wi-Fi, SMS and email alerts, 1-year battery, IP67.
