Wayne, PA and Walkersville, MD – MARCH 12, 2007 – MODA Technology Partners (MODA), a software company that provides mobile data acquisition solutions to the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry announced today that Lonza has selected MODA-EM™ to automate environmental monitoring processes at its Walkersville, MD site.
