The Life Science industry is closely related to the excellence and know-how of its technological partners: Pharmintech in Italy is the natural meeting point of the Life Science industry with its suppliers, representing the best of process, packaging, instrumentation, packaging, contracting and raw materials, components and the best digital and automation solutions applied to the sector.
How did it go? Judge for yourself!
ServiTecno and GE Digital have been working in the Pharmaceutical environment for more than 30 years, we know regulations, Best Practices and Compliance: look at our national and international White Papers and Case Histories!
ServiTecno will participate in the event as a SPONSOR, with a STAND dedicated to our Software solutions: if you need more information or to facilitate registration, please refer to US
PHARMINTECH is the international event dedicated topharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical and biotechnology industry.
The sixth edition of the event was held from 10 to 12 April 2019 in Bologna.
When it comes to the pharmaceutical industry and related markets, manufacturing excellence is closely related to the standards and know-how of the industry's suppliers. The more advanced technologies of made in Italy and the most innovative solutions offers from international producers will be presented in Bologna, involving industry professionals from all over the world.
WHAT DID SERVITECNO BRING NEW TO PHARMINTECH 2019? VISIBILITY!
VISIBILITY in production: EFFICIENCY
For the aspects more closely related to production, it is necessary to put the operators able to recognize at a glance important information to pay close attention to, in order to detect any problems and be able to deal with them in the most efficient way possible.
iFIX 6.0 from GE Digital takes care of exactly this, allowing operators to work in an ever smarter way thanks to ergonomic screens and able to adapt to the device. iFIX, however, also takes care of "picking up" the production data from the field to the management systems in real time and in complete safety, according to recognized standards, thus allowing the company management to have visibility in real time of what happens in production.

iFIX also integrates with Ocean Data Systems' DreamReport and WIN911, two solutions of fundamental importance able to increase the "visibility" in production.
- DreamReport in fact allows you to create dynamic automatic reports (REAL-TIME and HISTORICAL) on production parameters with simple procedures.
- WIN911 instead allows you to bring the alarms to the operators on any type of device, creating safe procedures to guarantee effective acceptance.
Visibility on the corporate network: SECURITY
The industrial networks, once considered safe because they are physically separated from the "rest of the world" and built on proprietary protocols, have become one of the weak points on which companies must intervene.
Un first step, for example, should be the network activity monitoring.
A traffic anomaly it might in fact be indication of a malfunction or even sabotage induced by an unauthorized intrusion into company systems. ServiTecno will talk about this theme during a speech during the session of the Industrial Software Forum dedicated to CyberSecurity.
Automated systems Anomaly Detection, such as the one developed by Nozomi Networks, they can represent a first level of "early warning" to protect networks and control systems and to safeguard the controlled plant.

It is solutions that analyze the relationships between the various terminals and traffic volumes, helping to define the rules of a “normal” communication and, consequently, a recognize unlawful behavior.
Visibility on assets: DISASTER RECOVERY
Then there is a theme related to asset management (for example PLC, HMI-SCADA, robots, ICS, DCS, but not only) more and more and increasingly governed by continuously updated firmware and software.
To have an effective management capacity of these assets it is important to have a tool that keeps track of all changes and keeps a backup copy of all versions of installed applications.
In this way, in case a recovery is necessary following a failure or an IT attack, it will be possible restore your system in no time, gaining precious hours (if not days) of production.
Such a system, like the one offered by MDT Software also allows you to detect any differences between the runtime running on a controller and what "should" be there, thus allowing to prevent possible alterations of the machine code by saboteurs.

Visibility on the business: FAULT TOLERANCE & EDGE
In manufacturing sector an hour of plant downtime can cost several dozen (if not hundreds) of thousands of euros, only by calculating the lost production.
But it is good to remember that unplanned downtime can cost up to 10 times more than a planned shutdown (for maintenance, control, tests, etc…), considering the sum of all related costs.
Le virtualization solutions offered by Stratus make it possible to increase the availability of systems up to achieving high availability (99,99% and above) in a simpler and cheaper way than the physical multiplication of servers.

È visibility therefore the keyword with which ServiTecno will present its proposal in Milan on February 6th at the Industrial Software Forum.
The historical moment we are experiencing, defined by many as the fourth industrial revolution, sees the complexity of industrial systems grow dramatically, linked on the one hand to the increase in "intelligent" devices, and on the other to the progressive interconnection and integration between the different areas of the shop floor both between production and management systems.
WHY IN ITALY
– Because Italy is a point of reference for the industry at an international level
– The sector represents 18% of the European market in terms of value and 25% in terms of production.
– In the period from 2010 to 2017, industrial production grew by 13%, exports by 52%, the productivity index by 19%.
– In 2017, 2,7 billion euros were invested in technologies for production and R&D.
WHY IN BOLOGNA
– Bologna is the heart of manufacturing excellence of technologies for the Life Science sector.
– Over 6 billion in turnover 80% of exports.
– 17,2% of turnover has the Life Science sector as its outlet market.
