Module overview

How Plant iT supports the life science industry 12/10/2020

Plant iT Suite
Product benefits I

 Object oriented & PLC-based process control system

 Class concept across 3 controller platforms (Siemens, Rockwell Automation and Schneider Electric)
 “Parameterization instead of programming”
 Integrated PLC code is parameterized rather than programmed to enable plant control
 Compiler less system architecture
 Enables process programming without stopping production
 Open system architecture
 Easy integration of user specific software and easy connection to existing IT infrastructure
 MES inside PCS
 Many MES functions are already an integrated part of Process Control System

 No more complex PLC coding required

PRO

 Embedded process-specific libraries for simplified configuration and start-up

Product benefits II

 Lean system design and operation with only one central data base
 Central user administration und lean IT system architecture

 Seamless parameterization according to ISA-S88

 User friendly interface, developed based on the latest usability standards
 High degree of standardization through powerful automation classes

 Outstanding efficiency in engineering

 Minimized engineering time due to import/export functionalities and predefined prototypes

 Unique Visu-Recorder to enhance audit, traceability and continuous improvement

 Stand-alone Manufacturing Execution System available

Use Cases I

 Goods Receipt Information about the Goods Receipt

 4 typical information sources is essential for enabling a stock overview
and ensuring the use of
 ERP system the right batch / lot for the right order!
 booking information via interface
 MES system
 booking information via interface
 PCS system
 manual input

Use Cases II

From
plan
 Lab Release to
executi
on
 Lab is always involved to
 optimize product quality
by updating order / recipe / bill of material
 alignment ingredient usage
 3 typical information / data sources
 LIMS interface
 analyzer / equipment interface
 manual input

Material quality is substantial

for increasing product quality and
saving resources!

Use Cases III

 Small ingredient handling

 2 possibilities to add ingredients
 synchronous
 “online” to the already running order
 asynchronous
 preparation in advance
or prior to starting the order

Visualization, operator support
