Automation for chemical plants of the future

Integration of control cabinets into modularized and standardized production workflows for the F3 Factory Projekt, a consortium of 25 partners from nine EU countries

Type 8650
AirLINE Ex type 8650 is a modular electrical and pneumatic automation system for use in hazardous areas

Success Story Bayer F3 Project

Within the scope of this project, a consortium of 25 partners has been working on the development of standardized and modularized production systems for the chemical industry. The EU subsidizes the project with 18 million Euros.

The partners of the consortium,  include not only industrial enterprises such as Bayer, BASF and Evonik, but also scientific research institutes such as the Technical University of Dortmund and the RWTH Aachen University.

The goal of the project is to develop faster, more flexible and more efficient production methods for chemical and pharmaceutical products. It was necessary to combine the benefits of flexible yet inefficient batch production with the cost advantages of continuous production. This is achieved by small to mid-sized production systems in standardized container construction. The companies involved develop highly modular “plug and produce”-capable systems in easily transportable containers.

In close cooperation with Bayer Technology Services, Bürkert developed a comprehensive concept for the automation of processes with valve islands and remote I/O systems. Special ATEX control cabinets were designed for the different container modules.

Reliable monitoring, measurement and control technology for manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)Reliable monitoring, measurement and control technology for manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)

Safe, timely provision of quality pharmaceuticals is a major challenge. An indispensable matter here is the availability of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or API for short. The manufacture of these takes place under increasingly stringent controls whilst complying with the highest quality standards and documentation requirements. At the same time, high productivity is necessary to ensure cost-effectiveness - whilst keeping the use of resources to a minimum. Intelligent monitoring, measurement and control technology from Bürkert aids in the automation and optimisation of processes. You benefit from reliable processes, reduced CO2 emissions and ultimately, consistently high product quality.
