/ AsSOC/August 17, 2022 Guangzhou - The Life Science industry Ecosphere Salon held by Schneider Electric, a global expert on digital transformation in energy management and automation, has successfully concluded in Shanghai. At this event, Schneider Electric discussed and shared with industry customers how to achieve high-quality development of life science industry with the help of digital means based on the development status and trend of life science industry, from full stack capability, core scenarios to actual cases. At the same time, under the guidance of the carbon neutral goal, Schneider Electric also shares the methods and practices of sustainable consulting services, especially on the topic of sustainability, to provide strong support for industry clients to implement the two-carbon goal.
At present, the life science industry is in a period of rapid development. In January 2022, the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry jointly issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and nine other departments defined the pharmaceutical industry as a "strategic industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, economic development and national security" for the first time. In May this year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the first "14th Five-Year Plan for Biological Economic Development", which also pointed out that China will shift from "treating diseases as the center" to "taking health as the center", focusing on drugs, vaccines, advanced diagnosis and treatment technology and equipment, biomedical materials, precision medicine, testing and testing, biological health care and other directions to improve the original innovation capacity. We will strengthen the supply chain of high-end biomedical products and equipment.
In this context, how to better ensure quality and compliance, to achieve safe and stable development has become a consistent demand in the life science industry. At the same time, with the proposed double carbon target, enterprises are also facing huge pressure to reduce costs and increase efficiency. How to realize flexibility, efficiency, green and low carbon in the whole life cycle of drug production through digital technology is also becoming an urgent problem for pharmaceutical companies.
To address these industry pain points, based on the EcoStruxure™ architecture and platform, Schneider Electric integrates the product capabilities of low and medium voltage, strong and weak electricity, automation and hardware and software to create digital solutions covering power distribution, building automation and environmental monitoring systems, and full life cycle services for the life sciences industry. This will give full play to the advantages of the integration of digital technology and professional knowledge of Schneider Electric, fully meet the construction needs of the life science industry in the internal medicine, biological medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, medical devices and other subdivisions, and bring the core values of safety and compliance, stability and reliability, high efficiency and flexibility, green and low carbon to the life science industry.Digital power distribution solution with panoramic integration ensures stable and reliable power supply
In order to meet the overall requirements of industrial customers represented by pharmaceutical plants for protection, monitoring and power quality during the operation of their factories, Schneider Electric has built a systematic, panoramic digital distribution solution to create a stable and reliable distribution architecture for the plant, provide effective power quality monitoring and governance, and realize the full utilization of distributed energy.
In terms of stable distribution architecture, Schneider Electric has carried out digital technology enabling on the basis of the industry's typical dual-circuit mains + low-voltage firewood generation architecture, and built an intelligent power monitoring system through interconnected hardware products, edge control, application analysis and services, which has comprehensively realized the improvement of reliability. Through the selective matching of protective components, short-circuit current calculation and selective verification, process load and backup power supply solution of clean area environmental control system, to ensure the stability and reliability of power consumption of enterprises and workshops.
In terms of power quality monitoring and management, Schneider Electric can provide integrated power quality solutions including power quality instrument, multifunctional meter, edge control software, reactive power compensation, static reactive power generator, voltage sag control. By opening up the whole link of monitoring, analysis and management of power quality, Schneider Electric has helped many pharmaceutical enterprises to achieve power quality optimization.In terms of distributed energy utilization, Schneider Electric helps enterprises to regulate the maximum demand of distributed energy, rationally utilize peak-valley electricity price, and improve the reliability of distributed energy access through microgrid solutions.
Risk-tracing building and environmental control solutions to help achieve full compliance
In order to better meet the compliance requirements of our customers in the life sciences industry, Schneider Electric provides risk-tracing building and environmental control solutions for its research and development, production and other environmental characteristics. The program covers non-GMP and GMP area EMS/BMS system, in accordance with the life science industry standards and specifications, comprehensive integration of multiple systems and equipment, through the highly integrated automation + information + intelligent management platform EcoStruxure, enabling enterprises to obtain comprehensive data collection, analysis and management. And provide full accountability and traceability for environmental and safety conditions through electronic signatures and secure electronic records.
Practice has proved that this scheme can reduce personnel errors, achieve paperless data recording in the production process, and fully meet the data integrity requirements of GMP.
On the basis of comprehensive compliance, the program can also provide building and environmental monitoring, management and control services to help enterprises improve the efficiency of the overall operation. At present, Schneider Electric EMS/BMS system has been adopted by many industry customers at home and abroad, and has been highly recognized by customers.
Sustainable consulting service solutions to help create a green development path
Under the "two-carbon" strategy, the life science industry is also in urgent need of sustainable green development path guidance. To this end, Schneider Electric has built sustainable consulting solutions for industry clients, providing green consulting services that reduce climate impacts and achieve a circular economy. The service includes dual carbon advisory services, sustainability services, supply chain advisory services, distribution system advisory services to reduce asset stranding, and Ecofit™ adaptation services. At the event site, Schneider Electric shared its proven clear, perfect and executable sustainable development strategy and path. From baseline determination, in-depth analysis to implementation and delivery, Schneider Electric completely helped enterprises and factories to do an active energy management, realize digital transformation, and finally achieve the green development goal of energy saving and effective carbon reduction.
< /p>Wang Wentao, Industry Director of Schneider Electric's National Sales Department, said: "In the context of the dual carbon target and the challenges of the pandemic, the life science industry is facing both challenges and opportunities. Schneider Electric will continue to optimize, iterate and upgrade our industry solutions based on our advanced concepts, technologies and experience in the field of digitalization and electrification, and look forward to helping more companies achieve safe, compliant, stable, reliable, flexible, efficient and green sustainable drug production. At the same time, Schneider Electric is also committed to creating an open and collaborative ecosystem, based on the full stack capability to work together with partners and customers win-win, together to inject core impetus into the development of the Chinese pharmaceutical industry."
