To sanction a partnership that has lasted for more than 10 years, this year part of the ServiTecno stand at the Pharmintech fair (division of IPACK-IMA, 3-6 May in Rho) will be dedicated precisely to the screens that IMA Active has created with the platform iFix by GE Digital.
Several years ago, the Bolognese giant of OEMs identified General Electric's SCADA solution as the most suitable for maintaining extremely high standards of reliability and data integrity for the machines of the Pharma & Lifescience divisions: after an intense process of analysis of the solutions on the market, In fact, IMA Active decides to focus on iFIX as a pillar to build the Kortex Max SCADA-HMI platform.
“The interface is the way in which the machine communicates with the operator: it is therefore a strategic element in the overall design of a product. It always has been, but it is even more so today, with the advent of mechatronics and the increase in the engineering complexity of machines. All these conditions determined the need to find an adequate, flexible and efficient product, which led us to choose iFIX as the technological basis on which to develop our platform which we called Kortex Max with reference to the concepts of 'cerebral cortex and maximum usability', which are two essential characteristics of the system”.
In the choice of the GE Digital – ServiTecno tandem, the assessment of the characteristics of the product and the profile of the two partners played a fundamental role.
“In our choices – underlines Minardi – we look for both updated technology and the reliability of the supplier, its ability to support us, and what ServiTecno does is a fundamental value for us: it helps us to solve the technical and technological problems that inevitably arise they present following us in the various activities and this is for us a value at least equal to the technological specifications”.
And so today, within the IMA Group, the two divisions IMA Active (specialized in machinery and solutions for the production of oral solids) and IMA Life (specialized in the liquid drug sector), having partially overlapping characteristics and needs, are both standardized on the iFIX platform.
In the Pharma and Life Science sector, and in general in regulated environments, data integrity is an essential value: come and find out how to make the most of the potential of GE Digital solutions (distributed in Italy by ServiTecno) at stand C70 in Hall 2P and IMA Active in Hall 2, Stand B58-B66/C61-C67.
