Siemens’ pioneering technology and services have turned Pfizer’s new high containment plant in Freiburg, Germany, into a showcase facility that sets the standard for modernity and sustainability. The innovative containment concept, monitored and controlled by Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, resulted in a remarkable 40 % reduction in energy consumption for environmental control compared to conventional plants.
Increasing safety for employees when handling highly active substances
Pfizer’s high containment facility uses the containment concept to ensure the safe production of drugs with highly active ingredients. Siemens Building Services ensures ideal production conditions, maximum safety for employees and increased efficiency by monitoring and controlling trades such as energy distribution, ventilation, air conditioning and heating. Thanks to this innovative approach, employees can produce OEB4 drugs while wearing only OEB3 protective clothing, resulting in smooth operations and optimal results.
Holistic control: combining building and production data intelligently
Desigo CC is a powerful building management platform that enables comprehensive integration of building and production data. It facilitates communication and collaboration between different systems and devices and automates processes efficiently. By intelligently networking and visualising data, Desigo CC can help production facilities reduce their energy consumption by around 40 % by precisely regulating climate control in individual zones.
