Well lit, illuminated for a long time without contaminating
Well-lit, long-lasting illumination without contamination. - The keys to a successful Led lighting project in cleanrooms. - What are the main criteria for choosing the right cleanroom luminaires? - Adapting the luminaires to the duration of use and maintenance. - Adapt the luminaire to the structure of the cleanroom and its qualification. - Adapt the luminaire to [...]
Cleanroom covers - apparent safety and risks
Depending on the environmental conditions, airborne contamination is deposited over time in all areas. This also applies to controlled environmental conditions - such as in cleanrooms. Although the air in cleanrooms is filtered and monitored, contamination is still deposited on critical components, products and surfaces over time. It is therefore common practice to [...]
Acceptance criteria in medical technology
The presentation highlights the challenges involved in deriving acceptance criteria for the cleanliness of medical devices, particularly with regard to particle contamination, for which there are increasing requirements (e.g. from the Medical Device Directive, ISO 13485 etc.). However, there is usually a lack of concrete procedures and specifications for deriving limit values for the variety of medical devices. Therefore, one often resorts to [...]
Tests for cleaning in clean drying rooms
The production of battery cells is a central component of the ongoing electrification of vehicle drive systems. The use of clean and dry rooms in this production process is of crucial importance, as they provide a controlled environment that significantly influences the quality and performance of the battery cells produced. The use of a clean room alone does not guarantee contamination-free operation; it also requires the [...]
Mars Sample Curation Facility
What are the cleanliness aspects and requirements in the aerospace industry and why are these particularly important and can even become a danger if they are not complied with? Technical specifications in cleanroom technology, their effects and current trends in the aerospace industry are highlighted. Goals and solutions for a safe environment in space travel complete the topic around [...]
Statistical Process Control SPC with PartSens 4.0
By implementing a Statistical Process Control (SCP) system on the shop floor, organizations can effectively monitor, control and improve the quality objective of cleanliness. SPC provides a data-driven approach to consistently maintain cleanliness levels within specified limits, reduce the risk of product defects, ensure customer satisfaction and improve overall process efficiency. The PartSens 4.0 [...]
Monitoring system: implementation options, findings
ISO 14644-2 prescribes regular verification of the cleanroom's compliance with the requirements of ISO 14644-1. One way of doing this is to install a permanent monitoring system for particles and environmental parameters. In this presentation, we will provide you with approaches and solutions, show you real data from our production and invite you to join the discussion. - [...]
Maintenance cleaning - how do I go about it safely
Every construction project is contaminated with dust and particles. These are undesirable in cleanrooms. We clean every cleanroom system so that it complies with the legal regulations of the respective RR class from day one, both in terms of particles and microbiology. We explain how to plan your cleanroom system correctly from the outset and how to approach a tender [...]
Modular planning for active pharmaceutical ingredient synthesis factories
The pharmaceutical industry is developing new and more efficient active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in its research and development centers. Time-to-market is one of the most important requirements for new pharmaceutical products, especially for new APIs. Fast and reliable scale-up methods from laboratory to pilot scale to commercial production are crucial for the successful introduction and [...]
Spring cleaning: activity-based process planning applied
Do I still need this or can it go? When changes are imminent (at home or in production), there is an opportunity to tidy up. So how can synergies be exploited, production and laboratory processes made more efficient and the available space used in the best possible way? It is important to recognize these opportunities and derive the right measures. Activity-based process planning helps to optimize the [...]
