Safeguarding life safety, the "pain" and "medicine" of the pharmaceutical industry

• Integrated design: The software system including AVEVA E3D 3D design software, by integrating engineering, design and simulation functions, can realize engineering digitization, integrated design, end-to-end integration of process simulation and conceptual design, front-end engineering design and detailed design and other engineering design stages, which can help enterprises quickly deploy projects and start projects in the fastest time. Effectively reducing the time required to create project deliverables and maximizing the efficiency of capital projects is the starting point for pharmaceutical companies to establish digital factories and digital twin factories.

• Asset Information Management Center: Based on the AVEVA AIM asset information management platform (digital delivery), it can help pharmaceutical companies build engineering project data centers, through the export of design tools, to the import platform and complete digital delivery of all functions, the data is capitalized, thus laying the foundation for the creation of digital twin factories.

Operations Information Management Center: Through the AVEVA PI System big Data management platform to collect, store and deliver trusted, high-quality operational data, companies can visualize the pharmaceutical manufacturing process and discover insights and value through data analysis. In addition, the AVEVA PI System big data management platform can open up the big data connection from the laboratory to the production line, help pharmaceutical companies accelerate the transformation of research and development results into actual production, and by comparing and analyzing the commercial production status, parameters and results with the research and development data, it can also help enterprises accurately locate the "golden batch" in the production process. Improve production compliance and overall production efficiency.

• Smart facilities: BMS building control systems, EMS environmental monitoring systems, SCADA data acquisition and monitoring systems, PAS process automation systems, etc., are the cornerstones of pharmaceutical companies to create digital. BMS building control system can control the industrial air conditioning unit, according to the different actual conditions in summer and winter, to achieve the stable control of the entire pharmaceutical factory storage environment and drug production environment; EMS environmental monitoring system can monitor the key production areas and equipment environment, real-time view the environmental temperature, humidity and environmental pressure difference of the drug production area, and achieve the data integrity of the production environment record. SCADA system breaks the data island, realizes the efficient acquisition and storage of field equipment data, and ensures the complete traceability of equipment data. The PAS system realizes the flexible batch production of the main process pipeline through the control of the field instrument valve and the batch control software based on ISA88.

• Efficient operation: MES Manufacturing execution system, WMS warehouse management system, EAM asset management system and other information solutions, from the production, material, deviation, equipment, quality, performance, energy and other aspects of the comprehensive integration of standardized production execution process, to ensure that the data is complete and traceable, generate electronic batch records to meet the regulatory needs. Make the production process more sustainable and resilient, and then operate efficiently with digital control.

• Integrated Operations Center: AVEVA UOC Integrated Operations Center creates an IT/OT integration platform to help pharmaceutical companies integrate project phase information, performance information and operational information, and realize command and control from a single site to multiple sites through visualization from workshop to plant and group.

The right medicine, the digital prescription describes the green "smart" medicine blueprint

As digital transformation continues to deepen in the pharmaceutical industry, pioneers in many industries are revolutionizing digital plant planning, construction and operations with the help of Schneider Electric's seven-step approach.

A pharmaceutical factory, for example, used Schneider Electric's AVEVA PI System, PI Server, PI Datalink and PI Vision integrated solutions to digitally upgrade the batch release process for pharmaceutical production. The system can automatically determine the status of the batch and release it, thereby effectively reducing errors and making the entire production process more compliant and transparent, while greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the plant also deployed predictive maintenance at the equipment level to reduce costs and increase efficiency by ensuring the stability and safety of production.

In addition, the factory of a well-known medical nutrition company is based on the MES system DMO customized by Schneider Electric to track and manage the entire production process and carry out data statistical analysis. With end-to-end, full-module DMO, the plant achieved continuous transparency and real-time management of its production process, reducing production costs per ton by 3%. In addition, through the automatic statistical analysis of the bottleneck equipment performance, the production efficiency of the entire production line has increased by more than 8%, and with the online correction function of the quality module, the defective product rate has been reduced by 5%.
