Companies in the chemical industry have to tread new paths in order to survive successfully in a changed environment. This includes, in particular, the potential of digital technologies. The full integration and intelligent networking of systems and processes is making slow progress.
This talk is a tribute to the field level. It wants to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalisation of the process industry based on smart sensors, actuators and communication and provides information on current technical perspectives, such as the "one-network paradigm", ad-hoc networking, edge computing, FPGAs, virtual machines or blockchain. These give smart sensors, actuators and communication a completely new perspective.
Modular plants using intensified continuous processes represent an appealing concept to produce pharmaceuticals. It can improve quality, safety, sustainability, and profitability compared to batch processes, and it enables plug-and-produce reconfiguration for fast product changes. To facilitate this flexibility by real-time quality control, we developed a solution that can be adapted quickly to new processes and includes a compact Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer for online quality monitoring as well as a new model-based control approach. The NMR sensor is a benchtop device enhanced to the requirements of automated chemical production including ro-bust evaluation of sensor data.
Here, we present alternatives for the quantitative determination of the analytes using modular, physically motivated models. These models can be adapted to new substances solely by the use of their corresponding pure component spectra, which can either be derived from experimental spectra as well as from quantum mechanical models or NMR predictors. Modular means that spec-tral models can simply be exchanged together with alternate reagents and products. Beyond that, we comprehensively calibrated an NIR spectrometer based on online NMR process data for the first time within an industrial plant. The integrated solution was developed for a metal organic reac-tion running on a commercial-scale modular pilot plant and it was tested under industrial conditions.
Die BAM setzt in ihren analytischen Labors zunehmend Labor-Robotik ein, um gefähliche oder zeitraubende Routineaufgaben zu automatisieren. Durch Automation kann auch die Reproduzierbarkeit solcher Anwendungen erhöht werden.
Im Beitrag werden einige aktuelle Beispiele aus den Analytiklabors diskutiert, wie z. B. die Anwendung für die Herstellung und RFA-Analytik von Gläsern, eine Feinwäge-Robotik für 10-L-Gaszylinder im Rahmen der Herstellung von Primärnormalen oder die Automatisierung von Probenpräsentationen für optische Spektroskopie und chemical Imaging. Auch wird kurz auf den Einsatz von Speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerungen in der modularen Laborautomation und die Virtualisierung von analytischen Laborrechnern eingengangen.
Derzeit finden gravierende Veränderungen im Umfeld der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik statt, die eine große Chance für die optimierte Prozessführung und Wertschöpfung mit darauf abgestimmten vernetzt kommunizierenden Sensoren bieten. Diese Art „smarte“ Sensoren stellen Dienste innerhalb eines Netzwerks bereit und nutzen Informationen daraus. Dieses ist die Voraussetzung für die Realisierung von Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) innerhalb zukünftiger Automatisierungskonzepte für die Prozessindustrie, wie sie auch durch das Zukunftsprojekt „Industrie 4.0“ adressiert werden. Smarte Prozess-Sensoren ermöglichen neue Geschäftsmodelle für Anwender, Gerätehersteller, Dienstleister.
Die auf der NAMUR HS 2015 vorgestellte Technologie-Roadmap „Prozess-Sensoren 4.0“ zeigt die nötigen Anforderungen an Prozess-Sensoren sowie an deren Kommunikations-fähigkeiten auf. Wir berichten über den Stand der Diskussionen im Trialog zwischen Anwendern, Software- und Geräteherstellern sowie der Forschung.
Ein wichtiger Schlüssel ist die Definition einer bedarfsgerechten und einheitlichen Topologie für solche smarten Sensoren, die in einem Arbeitskreis „Smarte-Sensorik“ ohne im wechselseitigen Austausch mit Geräte- und Softwareherstellern und Forschungseinrichtungen vorangetrieben werden soll.

Initiiert von NAMUR und VDI/GMA und unter Mitwirkung der Unternehmen ABB, BASF, BTS, Bilfinger Maintenance, Endress+Hauser, Evonik, Festo, Krohne, Lanxess, Siemens, des Fraunhofer ICT, der HS Reutlingen und der BAM (Projektleitung) entstand jetzt die grundlegend aktualisierte und überarbeitete Technologie-Roadmap „Prozess-Sensoren 4.0“, die am 06. November 2015 auf der NAMUR-Hauptsitzung in Bad Neuenahr wurde.
Um in einem veränderten Umfeld erfolgreich bestehen zu können, müssen Chemie-unternehmen neue Pfade beschreiten. Dazu gehört insbesondere das Potential digi-taler Technologien. Mit flexiblen, modularen chemischen Vielzweck-Produktionsanlagen lassen sich häufig wechselnde Produkte mit kürzeren Vorlauf- und Stillstandzeiten zwischen den Kampagnen und dennoch hoher Qualität realisie-ren. Intensivierte, kontinuierliche Produktionsanlagen erlauben auch den Umgang mit schwierig zu handhabenden Substanzen.
Grundvoraussetzung für solche Konzepte ist eine hochautomatisierte "chemische" Prozesskontrolle zusammen mit Echtzeit-Qualitätskotrolle, die "chemische" Informati-onen über den Prozess bereitstellt. In einem Anwendungsbeispiel wurde eine phar-mazeutische Lithiierungsreaktion aus einer modularen Pilot-Anlage betrachtet und dabei die Vorzüge eines vollautomatischen NMR-Sensors untersucht. Dazu wurde ein kommerziell erhältliches Benchtop-NMR-Spektrometer mit Permanentmagnet auf die industriellen Anforderungen, wie Explosionsschutz, Feldkommunikation und voll-automatischer, robuster Datenauswertung angepasst. Der NMR-Sensor konnte schließlich erfolgreich im vollautomatischen Betrieb nach fortschrittlichen Regelkon-zepten und für die Echtzeitoptimierung der Anlage getestet werden. Die NMR-Spektroskopie erwies sich als hervorragende Online-Methode und konnte zusammen mit einer modularen Datenauswertung sehr flexibel genutzt werden. Die Methode konnte überdies als zuverlässige Referenzmethode zur Kalibrierung konventioneller Online-Analytik eingesetzt werden.
Zukünftig werden voll integrierte und intelligent vernetzte "smarte" Sensoren und Pro-zesse eine kontinuierliche Produktion von Chemikalien und Pharmazeutika mit ver-tretbaren Qualitätskosten möglich machen.
Monitoring chemical reactions is the key to process control. Today, mainly optical online methods are applied, which are calibration intensive. NMR spectroscopy has a high potential for direct loop process control while cutting the calibration and validation needs to an minimum and thus exhibiting short set-up times. Compact NMR instruments make NMR spectroscopy accessible in industrial and harsh environments for advanced process monitoring and control.
Intensified continuous processes are in focus of current research. Flexible (modular) chemical plants can produce different products using the same equipment with short down-times between campaigns and quick introduction of new products to the market. In continuous flow processes online sensor data and tight closed-loop control of the product quality are mandatory. Data analysis techniques are available but currently mostly used for off-line data analysis to detect the causes of variations in the product quality.
This is addressed within the EU’s Research Project CONSENS by the development and integration of a smart NMR module for process monitoring. The presented NMR module is provided in a mobile explosion proof housing and involves a compact spectrometer together with an acquisition unit and a programmable logic controller for automated data preparation (phasing, baseline correction), and evaluation. Such “smart sensors” provide the basis for the future project “Industrie 4.0”, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), along with current requirements to process control, model based control, or soft sensing. The module transforms the acquired online spectra of various technically relevant reactions to either conventional 4‒20 mA signals as well as WiFi based OPC-UA communication protocols, which enables NMR-based advanced process control and funny discussions with plant managers along with automation and safety engineers.
Monitoring chemical reactions is the key to chemical process control. Today, mainly optical online methods are applied. NMR spectroscopy has a high potential for direct loop process control. Compact NMR instruments based on permanent magnets are robust and inexpensive analysers, which feature advantages like low maintenance, ease of use, and cryogen-free operation. Instruments for online NMR measurements equipped with a flow-through cell, possessing a good signal-to-noise-ratio, robustness, and meeting the requirements for integration into industrial plants (i.e., explosion safety and fully automated data analysis) are currently not available off the rack.

Flexible (modular) chemical plants can produce different products using the same equipment with short down-times between campaigns and quick introduction of new products to the market. In continuous flow processes online sensor data and tight closed-loop control of the product quality are mandatory. Otherwise there is a huge risk of producing large amounts of out-of-spec (OOS) products. This is addressed in the European Union’s Research Project CONSENS by development and integration of smart sensor modules for process monitoring and control within such modular plant setups.
The presented NMR module is provided in an explosion proof housing with a module size of 57 x 57 x 85 cm and involves a compact 43.5 MHz NMR spectrometer together with an acquisition unit and a programmable logic controller for automated data preparation (phasing, baseline correction) and evaluation. Indirect Hard Modeling (IHM) was selected for data analysis of the low-field NMR spectra. A set-up for monitoring continuous reactions in a thermostated 1/8” tubular reactor using automated syringe pumps was used to validate the IHM models by using high-field NMR spectroscopy as analytical reference method.
Von der zunehmenden Digitalisierung sind alle Bereiche von Wirtschaft, Industrie und Gesellschaft betroffen. Die Digitalisierung führt zu einer verstärkten virtuellen Nutzung von Ressourcen und zu einer hochdynamischen Entwicklung der zugehörigen Forschungs- und Technologiefelder. Neue Technologien sind die Basis für die erfolgreiche Weiterentwicklung des Wirtschaftsstandortes Deutschland und für eine Wertschöpfung in globalen Märkten. Die nachhaltige Sicherheit neuer Technologien schafft das Vertrauen der Bürger in den Wandel und sichert unsere Zukunft.
Im Vortrag werden Anforderungen und Lösungsvorschläge für das Labor der Zukunft diskutiert. Industrie 4.0 bzw. das Labor 4.0 hilft uns, komplexere Prozesse schneller umzusetzen. Entwicklung von Anlagen und Prozessen beginnt im Labor 4.0. Dazu werden offene, nicht proprietäre Schnittstellen und Standards bei Laborgeräten und Feldgeräten dringend benötigt. Der Standard OPC-UA wird derzeit als gesetzt gesehen. Als nächstes ist die Festlegung der Semantik (Companion Specification) erfordert. Als Bitte an die Zulieferer und Geräterhersteller wird gerichtet, möglichst keine Alleingänge hinsichtlich Schnittstellen, Standards oder GUI zu unternehmen, sondern diese mit den Anwendern abzustimmen. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich das in Industrie 4.0 geforderte "durchgehende Engineering“.
Die Sicherung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Standorts Deutschland/Europa ergibt sich dann gleich in doppelter Hinsicht: Sichere, verfügbare und effiziente Herstellung international wettbewerbsfähiger Produkte für die Anwender sowie weltweiter Export von Mess- und Regeltechnik für die Messtechnikbranche.
As presented at the NAMUR general meeting 2015, the technology roadmap "Process Sensors 4.0" identifies the necessary requirements as well as the communication abilities of such process sensors. We report on the progress of discussions in trialogue between users, software and device manufacturers as well as the research.
An important key is the definition of an appropriate and uniform topology for such smart sensors, which will be driven forward in a new NAMUR AK 3.7 "smart sensors" in mutual exchange with device and software manufacturers and research institutions.
Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM – Safeguarding the Quality Infrastructure in the Hydrogen Economy
(2022)
Hydrogen is a central component of the energy transition and the European Green Deal for a climate-neutral Europe. To achieve the goals defined for 2050, the EU and the German government have developed a framework for action and are making long-term investments in research, development, and the rapid implementation of innovative hydrogen technologies.
With the Competence Centre "H2Safety@BAM", BAM is creating the safety-related prerequisites for the successful implementation of hydrogen technologies at national as well as European level.
To this end, BAM conducts research, testing and consulting in a holistic and inter-disciplinary manner under one roof – in the Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM. The activities of the competence centre focus on ensuring the safety of infra-structures, plants, and processes as well as innovative hydrogen transport and storage systems based on digital quality testing and the experimental testing of components and systems. It thus creates the prerequisites for the implementation and adaptation of legal framework conditions as well as for standardization. Closely related to this are investigations into the properties and compatibility of metallic materials and polymers as well as friction systems for the safe operation of components, plants, processes, and systems. This interdisciplinary and holistic approach is complemented by the development of gas analytics and suitable sensors, online measurements of gas properties in process control, test scenarios under real conditions as well as impact assessments of accidents and risk assessments and risk management systems derived from them. With its portfolio of tasks and competences, BAM builds trust in the safety and reliability of technical system solutions for hydrogen.
Flexible and modular chemical plants can produce various high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short down-times between campaigns and reduce time to market for new products. Intensified continuous production plants allow for difficult to produce compounds.
Therefore, fully automated “chemical” process control along with real-time quality control are prerequisites to such concepts and thus should be based on “chemical” information. The advances of a fully automated NMR sensor were exploited, using a given pharmaceutical lithiation reaction as an example process within a modular pilot plant. A commercially available benchtop NMR spectrometer was integrated to the full requirements of an automated chemical production environment such as , e.g., explosion safety, field communication, and robust evaluation of sensor data. It was thereof used for direct loop advanced process control and real-time optimization of the process. NMR appeared as preeminent online analytical tool and allowed using a modular data analysis tool, which even served as reliable reference method for further PAT applications.
Chemical companies must find new paths to successfully survive in a changing environment. The potential of digital technologies belongs to these.

Recently, AI procedures have also been successfully used for NMR data evaluation. In order to overcome the typical limitation of too small data sets from process developments, a new method was tested, which allows a physically motivated multiplication of the available reference data together with context information in order to obtain a sufficiently large data set for the training of machine learning algorithms.
In future, such fully integrated and intelligently interconnecting “smart” systems and processes can speed up the high-quality production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Für die weitere Entwicklung von der Ist‐Situation zu einer Industrie-4.0-Welt in der Prozessindustrie bestehen recht ähnliche Szenarien. Dazu werden derzeit mehrere Szenarien diskutiert. Diese reichen vom erleichterten Abruf sensorbezogener Daten über zusätzliche Kommunikationskanäle zwischen Sensor und mobilen Endgeräten über vollständig bidirektionale Kommunikation bis hin zur Einbindung der Cloud und des Internets in virtualisierte Umgebungen.
Um zu einer störungsfreien Kommunikation aller Sensoren untereinander zu kommen, muss mindestens ein einheitliches Protokoll her, das alle Sensoren sprechen und verstehen. Der derzeit greifbarste offengelegte Standard, der moderne Kommunikationsanforderungen erfüllt, ist OPC Unified Architecture (OPC-UA). Viele halten das Sortieren der Kommunikationsstandards für eines der wesentlichen Errungenschaften von Industrie 4.0.
Es gibt viele Parallelen zwischen der Laborgerätewelt und der Prozess-Sensor-Welt, die im Rahmen der Digitalisierung immer näher aneinanderrücken.

Intelligent sensor systems, certified reference materials and instrumental analytical-chemical methods contribute to safety and functionality in hydrogen technologies.
This article gives a brief overview of SensRef activities in the Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM on the issues: Analytical methods for the determination of hydrogen purity, certified reference materials as measurement standards with regard to gas quality (primary calibrators) of BAM, test methods for gas sensor systems to detect hydrogen in air as well as the application of fibre-optic sensor systems to monitor the expansion and ageing behaviour of composite containers in hydrogen technologies.
Benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy currently develops to an important analytical tool for both quality control and process monitoring. In contrast to high resolution online NMR (HR-NMR), benchtop NMR can be operated under rough environmental conditions. A continuous re-circulating stream of reaction mixture from the reaction vessel to the NMR spectrometer enables a non-invasive, volume integrating online analyses of reactants and products. Here we investigated the esterification of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol with acetic acid to 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acetate both by 1H HR-NMR (500 MHz) and 1H and 19F MR NMR (43 MHz and 40 MHz) as a model system. The parallel online measurement was realized by splitting the flow, which allowed the adjustment of quantitative and independent flow rates, both in the benchtop NMR probe as well as in the HR-NMR probe, in ad-dition to a fast bypass line back to the reactor.
Im Vortrag werden Anforderungen und Lösungsvorschläge für das Labor der Zukunft diskutiert. Industrie 4.0 bzw. das Labor 4.0 hilft uns, komplexere Prozesse schneller umzusetzen. Entwicklung von Anlagen und Prozessen beginnt im Labor 4.0. Dazu werden offene, nicht proprietäre Schnittstellen und Standards bei Laborgeräten und Feldgeräten dringend benötigt.
Der Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über die aktuellen Diskussionen zu Feldgerätekommunikation in der Prozessindustrie. Diese verfolgt seitens der Anwender in der NAMUR das NOA-Konzept (NOA = NAMUR Open Architecture). In gemeinsamen Aktivitäten mit dem ZVEI werden mit Zielstellung Mitte/Ende 2019 folgende Konzepte vorangebracht: NOA Informationsmodell in OPC UA,
Informationssicherheit und das Konzept des „Verification of Request“. Gemeinsam mit Geräte- und Softwareherstellern sollen auch M+O-Sensoren (Maintenance und Optimization) konzipiert werden.
Aus dem NAMUR AK 3.7 heraus wurde im Oktober ein Erweiterter Arbeitskreis „Smarte Sensoren, Aktoren und Kommunikation“ kontituiert, dem auch Geräte- und Softwarehersteller und das BSI angehören. Hier werden konkrete Anwendungsfälle für smarte Feldgeräte und Anforderungen an M+O-Sensoren erarbeitet, um die Bereitstellung und den Einsatz smarter Automatisierungskomponenten zu beschleunigen.
Zukünftig werden das „Smarte Labor“ und die „Smarte Produktion“ stärker zusammenwachsen.
Analysis of dynamic systems
(2019)
Monitoring specific information (i.e., physico-chemical properties, chemical reactions, etc.) is the key to chemical process control when looking at dynamic systems, and quantitative online NMR spectroscopy is the method of choice for the investigation and understanding of dynamic multi-component systems. NMR provides rapid and non-invasive information, and due to the inherent linearity between sample concentration and signal intensity, peak areas can be directly used for quantification of multiple components in a mixture (without the need for any further calibration). This is one of the most attractive features of quantitative NMR spectroscopy. With the launch of devices covering magnetic field strengths from 40 to 90 MHz, so called compact or benchtop NMR systems, this analytical method is now reaching a sufficient degree of compactness and operability for an application outside of very specialized laboratories.
Whilst there are also many other tools available to examine various analytical parameters from dynamic processes, such as mass spectrometry, (near) infrared or Raman spectroscopy, each of these tools can only really be used independently. How can we examine and compare all data describing a particular chemical reaction? How can we visualize information rich, specific, or direct methods together with less specific but established analytical methods? And how can we transfer calibration information to the most appropriate process analytical method or method combination? Quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) has the potential to substitute offline laboratory analysis for calibration purposes by delivering quantitative reference data as an online method.
The workshop briefly presents the current state of the art of the analysis of dynamic systems by online NMR spectroscopy and analytical data fusion, with the remaining time being used for questions and open discussion with the attendees.
The departure from the current automation landscape to next generation automation concepts for the process industry has already begun. Smart functions of sensors simplify their use and enable plug-and-play integration, even though they may appear to be more complex at first sight. Monitoring specific information (i.e., “chemical” such as physico-chemical properties, chemical reactions, etc.) is the key to “chemical” process control. Here we introduce our smart online NMR sensor module provided in an explosion proof housing as example, which was developed for an intensified industrial process funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (www.consens-spire.eu). Due to NMR spectroscopy as an “absolute analytical comparison method”, independent of the matrix, it runs with extremely short set-up times in combination with “modular” spectral models. Such models can simply be built upon pure component NMR spectra within a few hours (i.e., assignment of the NMR signals to the components) instead of tedious calibrations runs.

Based on concentration measurements of reagents and products by the NMR analyzer a continuous production and direct loop process control were successfully realized for several validation runs in a modular industrial pilot plant and compared to conventional analytical methods (HPLC, near infrared spectroscopy).

Industry 4.0, IIoT, or Lab 4.0 will enable us to handle more complex processes in shorter time. Intensified production concepts require for adaptive analytical instruments and control technology to realize short set-up times, modular control strategies. They are based on a digitized Laboratory 4.0.

Based on concentration measurements of reagents and products by the NMR analyzer a continuous production and direct loop process control were successfully realized for several validation runs in a modular industrial pilot plant and compared to conventional analytical methods (HPLC, near infrared spectroscopy). The NMR analyser was developed for an intensified industrial process funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (“Integrated CONtrol and SENsing”, www.consens-spire.eu).
The CLEAN ENERGY Flagship is an initiative designed to utilize recent game changing developments in digital, materials and manufacturing technologies to catalyze a radical paradigm shift towards clean, reliable, efficient and cost-optimal energy.
Unifying and drastically accelerating radically new energy material design, processing and integration across the entire value chain addressing energy production, conversion, storage and systems.
CLEAN ENERGY participants are all distinguished research organisations that each benefit from their own industry networks and contacts with regions and state-level activities and have a long history of collaborating with each other (for 10 years now under the umbrella of EERA) within a European collaborative framework.
Through EERA, CLEAN ENERGY aims to become a crucial partner in the SET-Plan, supporting long-lasting approaches through its established networks and internal collaborations.
Der Vortrag stellt einige aktuelle Herausforderungen für die Prozessanalytik und mögliche Antworten vor.
Gepulste Raman-Spektrometer akkumulieren das Raman-Signal mit Hilfe schneller optischer Schalter im Picosekunden-Bereich, bevor langlebigere Fluoreszenzanregung entsteht. Damit lassen sich stark fluoreszierende Materialien untersuchen, die bislang nicht zugänglich sind. Eine weitere interessante Entwicklung ist etwa die Shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) die besonders für biologische Anwendungen interessant ist.
Flexible, modulare Produktionsanlagen stellen einen vielversprechenden Ansatz für die kontinuierliche Produktion von Fein- und Spezialchemikalien dar. In einem EU-Projekt wird derzeit die Feldintegration eines Online-NMR-Sensormoduls als smartes Modul für die Prozesskontrolle vorangebracht. Dieses Modul basiert auf einem kommerziell erhältlichen Niederfeld-NMR-Spektrometer, welche zurzeit für die Anwendung im Laborbereich erhältlich ist. Für die Feldintegration wurde ein ATEX-zertifiziertes, explosionsgeschütztes Gehäuse entwickelt sowie Automationsschemen für den unbeaufsichtigten Betrieb und für die spektrale Datenauswertung erstellt.
Eine sehr gut anwendbare analytische Messtechnik zur Kontrolle der elementaren Zusammensetzung von verschiedensten Materialien ist die laserinduzierte Plasmaspektroskopie (LIPS, engl. LIBS - Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). Bei der LIBS wird ein kurz gepulster Laser auf eine Probe fokussiert, um ein Leuchtplasma zu erzeugen. Das dabei erzeugte Atomemissionsspektrum ermöglicht eine qualitative und quantitative Analyse der Zusammensetzung der Probe bezüglich praktisch aller Elemente des Periodensystems. In einem aktuellen Projekt wird diese Methode neben anderen zur Online-Analyse von Ackerböden für die ortsspezifischer Bewirtschaftung (Precision Agriculture) weiterentwickelt und bewertet.

Eine der vielen Vorzüge Smarter Sensoren und Aktoren ist Bereitstellung zusätzlicher Informationen, auf die zukünftig neben den Hauptsignalen zugegriffen werden kann. In den Arbeitskreisen 3.6 und 3.7 wird dieses im wechselseitigen Austausch mit Geräte- und Softwareherstellern und Forschungseinrichtungen vorangetrieben.
Wir berichten kurz über den Stand der Diskussionen anhand von Beispielen und möchten in einem Open Space Workshop Meinungen und Ideen aufgreifen.
Chemical companies must find new paths to successfully survive in a changing environment. The potential of digital technologies belongs to these. Flexible and modular chemical plants can produce various high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short down-times between campaigns and reduce time to market for new products. Intensified continuous production plants allow for difficult to produce compounds.
Therefore, fully automated “chemical” process control along with real-time quality control are prerequisites to such concepts and thus should be based on “chemical” information. The advances of a fully automated NMR sensor were exploited, using a given pharmaceutical lithiation reaction as an example process within a modular pilot plant. A commercially available benchtop NMR spectrometer was integrated to the full requirements of an automated chemical production environment such as , e.g., explosion safety, field communication, and robust evaluation of sensor data. It was thereof used for direct loop advanced process control and real-time optimization of the process. NMR appeared as preeminent online analytical tool and allowed using a modular data analysis tool, which even served as reliable reference method for further PAT applications.
In future, such fully integrated and intelligently interconnecting “smart” systems and processes can speed up the high-quality production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
