Automation of a pharmaceutical filling line
Holopack Verpackungstechnik specialises in the contract filling of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Efficient filling technology plays a very important economic role here. Holopack was looking for a solution to increase production capacities in the manufacture of sterile and non-sterile, low to high viscosity pharmaceuticals. An intelligent automation solution with a batch management system was required to control the system - including a high-performance homogeniser.Realisation
Together with Copa-Data, HEITEC developed a batch management system for batch processing based on the established HMI/SCADA software zenon. It is web-based so that the system can be controlled via the internal company network.
All processes, including CIP (Cleaning in Place), SIP (Sterilisation in Place) and DIP (Drying in Place) are recipe-controlled with detailed operator guidance.
All recipes can be changed and parameterised down to the step level.
Thanks to its open approach, this scalable system developed by HEITEC is suitable for many production systems that are controlled with recipes based on basic functions.
