The MVE solution offers custom control and record keeping technologies that help firms operate their facilities in compliance with applicable government regulations, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Title 21, CFR Part 11. 

"It is gratifying that our MVE product has been so readily accepted by the life sciences industry," said John Creighton, director of the life sciences global market at Johnson Controls. "This is another example of how listening to our customers helps us deliver smart solutions." 

MVE is an enhancement of the company's flagship Metasys building automation system, and is designed to help companies achieve and maintain regulatory compliance, especially in regard to secure documentation of electronic records and signatures. The MVE package is a comprehensive technology solution that includes a data center component, combined with a Web-based reporting and analysis suite, as well as a Johnson Controls M5 workstation.
