But, with real-time data, they can get in front of the problems. See how it can help you drive revenue. Not only that, but the scrap rates have decreased significantly as well. Now, the manufacturer is down to 1 or 2 units total, down to the decimals of the previous scrap rate. John likes to use the analogy of driving down the road. Oral BioTech needed a solution that could be displayed across all of their sites, projecting production metrics across the plant whether that was in a back-office, on the production floor, or in distribution.
The system also needed to be accessible via a mobile phone, cloud-based, and provide the ability to see all of the data in real-time. Oral BioTech previously used a SensrTrx competitor but realized it was limited in capabilities.
All of which SensrTrx was able to solve. Contact Sales Login Support Menu. Biotechnology introduced a whole new approach to drug development that did not easily integrate into the chemically focused approach most of the established pharmaceutical companies used.
This shift precipitated a rash of startup companies, starting with the founding of Cetus now part of Novartis Diagnostics and Genentech in the mids. Since there was an established venture capital community for the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley, many of the early biotechnology companies also clustered in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Over the years, countless startup companies have been founded to pursue this market. Innovation hubs developed in the U. This part of biotech gravitates around the drug discovery pipeline, which starts with basic research to identify genes or proteins associated with particular diseases that could be used as drug targets and diagnostic markers.
Once a new gene or protein target is found, thousands of chemicals are screened to find potential drugs that affect the target. The chemicals that look like they might work as drugs sometimes known as "hits" then need to be optimized, checked for toxic side effects, and tested in clinical trials.
Biotech has been instrumental in the initial drug discovery and screening stages. Most major pharmaceutical companies have active target-discovery research programs heavily reliant on biotechnology. Smaller upstart companies such as Exelixis, BioMarin Pharmaceuticals, and Cephalon acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical focused on drug discovery and development by often using unique proprietary techniques. In addition to direct drug development, companies such as Abbott Diagnostics and Becton, Dickinson and Company BD look for ways to use new disease-related genes to create new clinical diagnostics.
Many of these tests identify the most responsive patients for new drugs coming onto the market. Also, supporting research for new drugs is a long list of research and lab supply companies that provide basic kits, reagents, and equipment. For example, companies such as Thermo-Fisher, Promega, and a host of others provide lab tools and equipment for bioscience research. Companies such as Molecular Devices and DiscoveRx provide specially engineered cells and detection systems for screening potential new drugs.
The same biotechnology used for drug development can also improve agricultural and food products. However, unlike pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering did not generate a rash of new ag-biotech startups. The difference may be that, despite the technological leap forward, biotech did not fundamentally change the nature of the agricultural industry. Manipulating crops and livestock to optimize genetics to enhance utility and improve yields has been taking place for thousands of years.
In a manner of speaking, bioengineering provides a convenient new method. Most of the focus on ag-biotech is on crop improvement , which, as a business, has been quite successful. Since the first genetically modified corn was introduced in , transgenic crop staples such as wheat, soybean, and tomatoes have become the norm.
Although lagging behind bioengineered plants, the use of biotechnology for farm animal improvement is also pretty prevalent.
Dolly, the first cloned sheep, was created in It too received downloads in the hundreds. Around that time Piraka 3D was started. This production helped Biotech to gain a foothold and a little room to move amongst the other companies on the forum at that time.
Although the P3D project was eventually halted, Biotech was still able to maintain its position. Shortly thereafter, Maze of Shadows 3D was proposed and Biotech began to expand beyond a simple 1-man enterprise. Now Biotech is producing another game - The Insurgent, which is proving to be the most challenging project we have undertaken thus far. The Insurgent is a full-scale platform shooter featuring a vastly more complex engine than any of our previous games have had - complete with HDR lighting, advanced real-world physics, and extensive particle and debris effects.
With The Insurgent, our goal is to break away from the lower expectations and produce something of truly exceptional grade while not distracting from the pure enjoyment of the game. Have we succeeded? In the end, that's for you to decide. Biotech and its staff have always tended to avoid groups that flaunt their work, and thus we prefer to let our work speak for us. Naturally every company has some work that it is particularly proud of for us it's often complex particle effects, physics, and engine stability , but our goal is to simply show it through gameplay and the occasional screenshot as opposed to large flashy advertising campaigns and generally showing off.
Regardless of what we think of our games, what truly matters is what you think.
