Major Bulk Drug manufacturer implements Complete Solvent transfer, Reactors & End of line equipment Automation, Electronic Batch Monitoring & Recording system for tight process control, high availability, consistent product quality & compliance to regulatory requirements

Challenge

  • Process being Hazardous the system is to be commissioned error/bug free in first trial “RFT”).
  • Partially automated systems for independent Process control & equipment’s leading to islands of non-integrated system
  • Unable to implement Centralized Recipe based ISA – 88 standard Batch system
  • Transformation of existing Manual Batch records to EBMR
  • Installation, Line Modifications, trials in running plant so tight shut-down schedules
  • Extensive documentation for regulatory compliance (FDS, URS, DQ, IQ, OQ & Performance Qualification)

Solution

  • Rockwell DCS offering Plant-wide Integrated Architecture
  • Hazardous (Zone-1) Field mounted remote Intrinsically safe I/O’s
  • Intelligent Architecture with enhanced field side diagnostics
  • ISA 88 compliant Batch & Recipe Management system
  • Enhanced & User friendly recipe system enabling
  • Historian, Data base management software & Web based portals for EBMR & Report generation as per regulatory compliances
  • Asset Management for securing, managing & tracking of assets
  • Validation & documentation services for Regulatory compliance

Result

  • Integrated system resulting in integrated view & control of entire plant from Common Control room
  • Consistent Batch quality ensuring high standards of product quality
  • Flexibility & Ability to configure and execute multiple Recipes without any changes required in Control program
  • Elimination of manual Batch records
  • IPR protection of critical information of process / products
  • 100% error free & easy of operations achieved with Tight control & User friendly Operator interface
  • Lower investment on Automation due to Plant-wide Common integrated architecture
