Safe pressure measurement in pharmaceutical plants with watchdog function
The more critical the process - for example, the production of injection solutions - the more important it is to consistently adhere to the sterile limit in the manufacturing process, and selecting the right instrumentation prevents product loss. Diagnostic functions of the instruments can help to safeguard valuable batches by issuing warnings and indicating a potential risk.
Logistics planning
Adapted concepts and processes are required to ensure competitiveness. The harmonization of existing and new processes in logistics planning presents us with a challenge. What is important here is the most precise analysis of existing processes for optimization and the development of new possibilities in order to develop tailor-made concepts. The optimization of processes provides considerable opportunities to increase efficiency. [...]
PDL POWERLIGHT
About the PDL-II UV-A inspection lamp The main task of the UV inspection lamp is to actually emit this ultraviolet light, with a brightness that allows the user to perform the task even in bright daylight. And by ultraviolet light, we of course mean UV-A light. UV-A LEDs have only been on the market for a few years and are still [...]
Special metallic materials
Increasing demands on corrosion resistance are prompting the pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets to find new ways of selecting materials. But what makes these materials special materials? A brief introduction to materials science, the alloy components and their influence on the properties of the material should shed some light on the subject. What significance [...]
Factory planning and clean room
As part of the holistic development of processes and factories with interfaces to the cleanroom, factory and cleanroom planning is the link between the different areas and represents the interests of processes and logistics according to the principle of "form follows function". Particularly in the run-up to projects, the objectives and boundary conditions are often not yet known and must first be [...]
Debates in disinfectant coupon tests
This presentation covers current debates in the industry on testing disinfectants for coupons. PDA Technical Report No. 70 and USP 43 will be covered in relation to current disinfectant efficacy testing in the industry. Recent FDA warning letters and 483s will be covered that clarify regulatory expectations for efficacy testing [...]
Flexible production of pharmaceuticals in small quantities
The future will bring a larger number of active ingredients that need to be produced in smaller quantities down to the patient-specific quantity of 1, which must be efficiently produced and aseptically filled on an industrial scale. The improved and further developed version of a variably adaptable machine and isolation concept is presented here with examples and discussed using various processes
TOC measurement in pharmaceutical water
The presentation deals with the TOC measurement of pharmaceutical water. The general requirements for the measuring devices are discussed and the various measuring techniques in the field of online monitoring are presented.
Side effects for existing buildings
In connection with increasing requirements for pharmaceuticals and their production, the requirements for the buildings in which they are produced are also increasing. What to do when new requirements are placed on the existing building? Is it that simple? Where is the building permit and what does it say? What can you do within the framework of the existing [...]
Maintenance and energy management of mobile batch tanks
To plan production processes in such a way that maintenance work and energy loads can be optimally taken into account. At the same time, the high flexibility of the mobile plant components carries the risk of unplanned and unplanned failures. Containers expanded as virtual twins enable the intelligent processing of data from sensors. For example, preventive maintenance measures can be [...]
