Video Monitoring

System for monitoring the machine interior with cameras
Video monitoring enables you to oversee and optimize your production. Cameras inside the machine continuously record live images, which your employees can view from anywhere. The cameras also improve visibility for the operating staff. This means that the causes of stopped production can be analyzed quickly and easily, faults can be rectified and product losses kept to a minimum.

Benefits
Rapid troubleshooting
In the event of a fault, video recording of the machine interior
Overview of machine process and status outside the production area
Failure root cause analysis

High-Speed Video Monitoring

High speed camera monitoring system for important processes
Use high-speed video monitoring to oversee key machine areas with high-speed cameras. This enables you to immediately identify the causes of process discrepancies and downtimes, and to avoid them in the future. This is an important tool to achieve maximum product yield and machine availability.

Benefits
Recognition of process vulnerabilities
Improvement in process resilience
Aids process set-up and optimization
Failure root cause analysis
Smart assistance

Optimum support for format changes & troubleshooting

Smart Assistance

Changeover Scan

Assistance system for rapid, safe format changeover
Changeover Scan is a tool to assist plant operators with format changes. This effectively minimizes the risk of machine downtime due to use of wrong format parts, and machine availability is increased. Crashes within machines are therefore prevented, and product losses are also kept to a minimum. Another benefit is that operators can be trained more quickly.

Benefits
Rapid, safe format change
Reduction in the risk of errors during format changeovers
New operators become efficient more quickly
Smart integration of SOP-specific requirements into the format change by means of a database

Alarm Assist

System to assist the machine operator with troubleshooting
Alarm Assist provides you with optimal support when troubleshooting. Supporting documents are stored for defined alarms and can be called up directly from the alarm list. Alarms can be annotated individually. This way, you get back into production as quickly as possible and keep downtime to a minimum.

Benefits
Reduction in downtime in the event of machine malfunctions, and hence increased efficiency
New operators become efficient more quickly
Targeted troubleshooting with operator assistance
Creation of customer and line-specific alarm and troubleshooting database through platform access

Three aspects of digitization

Digitalization involves a lot more than just the collection and networking of data. It means that many tools can be used to help pharmaceutical manufacturers achieve their goals. The focus is on maximizing plant availability and high production reliability. To achieve this, Optima Pharma is pursuing three principal strategies.

Digitalisation
Interview about digitization at OPTIMA pharma

Many pharma companies were initially skeptical about digitization, following the “never change a running system” principle. Yet Jürgen Rothbauer, Managing Director of Optima Pharma, sees a lot of potential in digitization. In an interview with editor Jan Deiniger, he explains the opportunities it offers and how Optima Pharma is exploiting these to improve process reliability for users going forward.
