Today, the life sciences industry is in the midst of an aging population and growth opportunities for healthy consumption, as well as a critical period of development with stringent requirements for drug quality regulation and data integrity, new drug market cycles and flexible manufacturing. Wang Peidong, life science industry leader of Schneider Electric’s industrial automation business, said: “Facing the new situation of mixed opportunities and challenges, pharmaceutical companies need to innovate their production and management methods by using innovative digital technologies, while OEM manufacturers need to further optimize the performance of equipment to ensure compliance, efficiency, continuity and low cost of production, so as to comprehensively improve the level of R&D and manufacturing of pharmaceutical companies and the return on investment. Schneider Electric has been deeply engaged in the field of life science for many years, and has accumulated profound technical reserves and rich practical experience. It is able to provide customers in the field of life science with comprehensive solutions covering various scenarios such as public auxiliary and group control systems, process control systems, power centers, information integration and systems, building management and environmental monitoring, and full life cycle consulting services. Create great value for customers in terms of safety compliance, stability and reliability, efficiency and flexibility, green and sustainable development.”
Five innovative applications and services, boosting the overall optimization of all links in the whole cycle
During this spring Pharmaceutical Machinery Exhibition, Schneider Electric focused on the exhibition of innovative products and solutions for the field of life science, covering top consulting, equipment control, environmental control, process control, and software informatization, to help customers comprehensively optimize all aspects from system production line design to practical application, and realize efficient and lean management and production in the whole life cycle:
Top-level consulting: The digital transformation service “from consulting to landing” provided by Schneider Electric promotes the efficient deployment of each subsystem by focusing on the value chain of business objectives, integrating the horizontal collaboration of business functions, and ensuring the vertical integration of planning and landing, so as to finally realize the successful landing application from software and hardware conceptual design to solutions.
Equipment control: Schneider Electric’s EASY HARMONY FT6 stainless steel touch screen, designed for the pharmaceutical industry, has a 7-15 inch wide screen in various sizes, protection level IP66K, built-in 100 Mbit/s dual Ethernet interface, electronic recording function, and provides electronic signatures in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. And in line with GMP compliance and traceability requirements. In addition, the Lexium MC12 flexible conveying system, which can meet the flexible switching needs of end-customers with small batch and multi-batch orders, combined with integrated simulation and 3D visualization capabilities, enables the EcoStruxure Machine Expert digital twinming software to effectively collaborate from a single device to a complete production line. Schneider Electric helps companies build smarter, higher-performance packaging systems, optimize equipment control and management, and increase overall equipment efficiency (OEE) by 50%.
Environmental Control: Through the BMS Building management system, which integrates all facility subsystems, and the E2MS Environmental monitoring system, which captures and displays environmental data for critical areas and equipment throughout the plant, Schneider Electric helps customers achieve stable control of storage and production environments, ensures data integrity of environmental records, reduces equipment failures, and reduces maintenance and operating costs.
Process control: ProLeiT advanced process control solution integrates data acquisition and process control functions. Through pre-configured automation object, integrated InBatch software conforming to ISA-88 standard, continuous formula and material management module and standardized ERP interface, help customers quickly grasp the global information of production, and realize centralized control of equipment and production process. Ensure data integrity and traceability to make the production process more sustainable and resilient.
AVEVA AIM can help enterprises build engineering data centers and lay the data foundation for digital twin factories. AVEVA PI System, a real-time data infrastructure, converts real-time data and events into trusted, high-quality operational information. In addition, Schneider Electric also provides lightweight production line management suite, including equipment monitoring, order management, equipment operation and maintenance, performance management, reporting system and other production line information modules, as well as EBR electronic batch recording system for “human, machine, material, method and environment” data tracking in the production process, to help enterprises realize paperless operation, improve production line efficiency and reduce equipment failures. Make the production quality controllable.
