Gethin's Diary: Upgrading from PMS to CAMS

October 28, 2025

"Still Running PMS? Here’s Why Switching to CAMS Could Be the Easiest Upgrade You Make This Year"

There’s no denying PMS systems have had a long and influential run in cleanroom monitoring. In many facilities, they’re still the dominant player. But when it comes to flexibility, ease of validation, and cost-effectiveness, legacy PMS setups can quietly become a bottleneck.


The hidden costs of legacy systems

Over time, what starts as a robust solution can become burdensome:

  • High cost of replacement parts and service contracts
  • Rigid architectures that don't flex with changing room designs
  • Validation hurdles when integrating with newer equipment.


What’s different with CAMS?

CAMS was designed with adaptability at its core:

  • Modular systems that slot into your existing EM setup
  • Rotating slit-to-agar plates for longer, more efficient sampling
  • Easier validation and regulatory documentation
  • Lower ongoing costs, with minimal disruption to operations


If you're finding your PMS system is harder to support, or struggling to evolve with your facility, the good news is that CAMS doesn't require a ground-up rethink. It’s a natural evolution—one that’s already validated by some of the biggest names in the sector.
