Pharmaceutical Process Control Systems

As a leading supplier of pharmaceutical process control systems or PLC/SCADA we can provide support during the construction of new plants and the expansion, modernization or migration of existing production facilities. Our experience with more than 100 projects that were subject to mandatory qualification in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries, together with a comprehensive knowledge of a large variety of systems, allows us to provide the optimal solution for your needs.

When operating as a MAV (Main Automation Vendor), we provide all necessary supplies and services, including field equipment, process control systems, ERP integration, etc. We can provide support for your plant throughout its entire life cycle as part of our MAVPlus concept.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries represent not only one of the most important industrial sectors in the world, but also one of the fastest growing. These two industries are characterized by increasingly aggressive competition, short times to market, and a growing number of strict legal regulations. Quality, safety, flexibility, and efficiency are all key concerns here.

Our experience of more than 10 years in planning and implementing projects in these sectors has given us a unique insight into the specific characteristics of these two industries – such as biotechnological processes with sterile technologies or complex CIP/SIP cleaning processes - allowing us to fully understand and focus on your specific needs.

Specializing in flexible multi-product plants with recipe management systems and continuous process plants we can provide optimal automation solutions.

As planners we will provide support in all areas of automation starting from concept development and basic and detail engineering all the way to installation and start-up. To us, automation means a coherent concept comprising sensors and actuators, the control system featuring logging and data acquisition functions as well as the MES system and/or the ERP systems. We have specialists for every single area of automation who can rely on many years of professional experience. Instrumentation, preparing user requirement specifications, calls for bids, evaluation of quotations, cost estimates, preparing functional specifications, batch concepts and control sequences, qualification, and installation monitoring are central subjects. Making use of the process engineering expertise of our sister company, LSMW, we can also provide one-stop planning and qualification services for complete plants.
