With the rapid development of technology and the arrival of Industry 4.0 era, intelligent transformation has become an inevitable trend in the development of various industries. In the pharmaceutical industry, especially in the field of solid dosage, the planning and construction of intelligent factories is not only the key to improving production efficiency and ensuring drug quality, but also an important driving force for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Canaan Technology focuses on the market and launches a comprehensive solution for solid dosage intelligent factories, aiming to help customers achieve digital upgrades.
Industry Status The production process of solid dosages involves multiple stages such as raw material processing, granulation, drying, mixing, tablet pressing, coating, capsule filling, packaging, etc. The traditional production mode highly relies on manual operation and empirical judgment, with low efficiency, easy introduction of pollution and errors, and difficulty in meeting efficient, flexible, and compliant production needs and regulatory requirements.
1. Digital Platform Construction
Through the integration of group ERP, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), EQMS (Equipment Management System), QMS (Quality Management System) and other applications, full life-cycle management is achieved to ensure the accuracy and traceability of data.
2.Application of Automation and Robotics Technology
Automated equipment and robots are introduced in key processes such as raw material processing, weighing and batching, granulation, and tablet pressing. Combined with weighing and feeding systems and PAT process analysis technology, human intervention is reduced to achieve less human intervention and continuous production.
3. Intelligent Logistics System
By utilizing technologies such as AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle), RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), etc., an intelligent logistics system is constructed to achieve precise material distribution, information traceability, and intelligent inventory management. Combined with the construction of a three-dimensional warehouse, material handling time and space waste are reduced, and material error prevention and mixing prevention are achieved.
4.Data analysis and predictive maintenance
Utilize big data analysis and machine learning techniques to deeply mine production data, predict equipment failures, optimize production plans, and achieve preventive maintenance.
5.Flexible production mode
Provide customized solutions to support flexible production of small batches and multiple varieties, meeting personalized and diversified market demands.
Conclusion
The solid dosage intelligent factory solution of Canaan Technology, empowered by digital technology, makes factories smarter, which is a crucial step for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry to face the future.
