Erbi Breez™
A precision manufacturing operation for a micro-scale perfusion cell culture platform, built for scale and long-term growth.
Erbi Biosystems developed the Erbi Breez™, a micro-scale, automated, closed-loop perfusion cell culture platform that replicates the performance of large-scale bioreactors at a fraction of the time and cost. Manufacturing it was just as complex, so they came to Build by Boyd for a partner who could match the precision and discipline of the technology. We developed and validated the assembly process, moved production into a Class 7 cleanroom under GMP, and managed a supply chain of more than 70 components from about 20 suppliers. The manufacturing operation also gave Erbi the commercial credibility that contributed to its acquisition by a large strategic partner.

Process Development & Validation
Preparing the Erbi Breez™ for commercial manufacturing required building the technical foundation from the ground up. Build by Boyd developed a complete drawing package with full tolerances and dimensional call-outs, then optimized the assembly process—including the development of custom components and fixturing to improve both efficiency and ergonomics.
With the process fully documented and refined, Build by Boyd transferred the operation into commercial manufacturing—ready for scale.

Manufacturing
With the assembly process validated and transferred, Build by Boyd moved the Erbi Breez™ into a Class 7 cleanroom under GMP protocols. Manufacturing capacity scaled quickly to meet market demand and establish a stable long-term supply.
Once the operation reached scale, the team pursued cost reduction and process optimization—lowering the cost of goods sold, improving efficiency, and increasing overall capacity to position the product for continued growth and expansion into new applications.

Supply Chain Management
The Erbi Breez™ assembly draws from more than seventy components across twenty different suppliers—a supply chain that required early, deliberate coordination. Build by Boyd engaged at the outset of the program to qualify suppliers and add them to the approved supplier list before commercial production began.
As the program scaled, Build by Boyd worked closely with Erbi to develop and maintain accurate demand forecasts, pipeline raw materials, and ensure the stable, on-time delivery needed to support a growing market.
