- Process control system Simatic PCS neo version 4.0 ready for process plants of any size
- Extended functionalities for modular systems based on MTP standard
- New hardware platform: Siemens presents new Simatic S7-4100 controller generation and Simatic CN 4100 communication node
- Siemens presents Simatic PCS neo V4.0 together with the new hardware for the first time at the SPS trade fair from November 8 to 10, 2022 in Nuremberg
Digitalization, sustainability, shortage of skilled workers: Companies
in the process industry are currently facing major challenges. To prepare their
plants for the future, Siemens believes that operators must rely on a highly
flexible process control system. Against this backdrop, Siemens has now
launched both a new software version and new hardware components for its
Simatic PCS neo web-based process control system. With version 4.0, Simatic PCS
neo is now ready for plant capacities and large-scale projects of up to 64,000
process objects and 56 controllers – making it suitable for industrial plants
of all sizes.
- Siemens supports BioNTech in converting to vaccine production at the Marburg plant
- Key parts of the new Manufacturing Execution System ready to use after only two and a half months
- Digitalization enables paperless documentation of production
The BioNTech SE biotechnology company based in Mainz has converted an existing facility in Marburg for the production of the Covid-19 vaccine in a record time with assistance from Siemens. The production plant has been producing the active substance since February and the vaccine BNT162b2 (also known as COMIRNATY®) since the end of March. BioNTech acquired a production facility for this in the fall of 2020 that was already equipped with capabilities for producing biotechnological substances. Through collaboration with Siemens and the team of experts on site in Marburg, the project timeline for converting the existing facility for the production of mRNA-vaccine was cut from around one year down to five months, whereby the implementation of key parts of the new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) was reduced to two and half months. The new system and end-to-end digitalization of production enable conversion to “paperless documentation of production”, which can immediately fulfill all documentation requirements.
