Annually, the GMP-PHARMA TECHNICA in Wiesbaden becomes the meeting point for the pharmaceutical industry. For the exhibition targeting European suppliers, Eckelmann AG will present from March 19 to 20 at booth A29 with a high degree of automation and expertise in regulated environments. On the agenda: exciting references from everyday engineering, practical solutions, plus future-oriented and cost-effective technologies.

Complementing the PharmaCongress, PharmaTechnica is held annually as a platform for manufacturers. A home game for the Wiesbaden-based company: Over 200 engineers, computer scientists, and natural scientists work there daily to find the best solutions. They stand for Eckelmann's expertise, exceptionally high industry and process experience, and the self-image of automation specialists.

The company is a specialist in industry-specific regulatory requirements and standards. Foundations include a comprehensive quality management system and certifications in regulated environments, such as ISO 13485 as a supplier for medical technology, ISO 62304 (Medical Device Software), processes for GMP/GAMP 5, and the manufacturing of electrical systems according to CE and UL.

In doing so, Eckelmann teams feel committed to the sustainability goals of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda: health and well-being worldwide.

Top topics include, besides automation, facility monitoring systems and qualification documentation.

Whether laboratory or industrial scale: Solutions from Eckelmann make the production capacities of the pharmaceutical industry more flexible and efficient. To optimize production, make it more efficient, and sustainably reduce operating costs, both individual systems and complete plants are automated.

For safety and efficiency in manufacturing, engineering teams combine IT technology and automation engineering: with the FactoryWare Data Analytics software, key figures are monitored, analyzed, and plants optimized. The high degree of automation ensures maximum efficiency, predictable service, demand-oriented personnel deployment, and secure plant availability.

Significant savings in time are achieved through simulations via FactoryWare Virtual Replica on the Digital Twin. Virtualization is based on design data and allows testing runs and commissioning of machines and systems to be carried out on the Digital Twin. Furthermore, manufacturers and operators benefit from the digital behavioral model of the application throughout its entire lifecycle.

Relieving caregiving staff: automation of medication management

Within the framework of PharmaTechnica, case studies from daily practice provide orientation for the professional audience. For example, modern blister machines dose various tablets error-free using as many individual drives. Initially, a functional prototype was built quickly using standard control technology from Eckelmann. This allowed the customer to start developing their machine technology early on. Simultaneously, control specialists developed an application-specific optimized control system. The serial blister machine was equipped with the customer-optimized Eckelmann series control E°EXC 881.
