The competitiveness of the process industry is based on ensuring the required product quality while making optimum use of equipment, raw materials and energy. Chemical companies have to find new paths to survive successfully in a changing environment, while also finding more flexible ways of product and process development to bring their products to market more quickly – especially high-quality high-end products like fine chemicals or pharmaceuticals. The potential of digital technologies belongs to these.
One way is knowledge-based production, taking into account all essential equipment, process and regulatory data of plants and laboratories. Today, the potential of this data is often not yet consistently used for a comprehensive understanding of production. Another approach uses flexible and modular chemical plants, which can produce different high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short downtimes between campaigns and reduce the time to market of new products. Digital transformation is enabling completely new production concepts that are being used increasingly. Intensified continuous production plants also allow for difficult to produce compounds.
This contribution aims to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalization and use of machine-assisted methods in (bio) process engineering by introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes, which have the potential to speed up the high-quality production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
