The Sartorius corporation is a leading international partner to biopharmaceutical industry and research that contributes to ensuring that biopharmaceutical drugs and vaccines are developed and manufactured safely and efficiently.
As an innovative company with a broad product range, Sartorius recognized the opportunities offered by modular and flexible production early on.
In close cooperation with Fraunhofer IESE, a modern system architecture with Digital Twins is being developed, and the Digital Twins are being modeled as asset administration shells. In addition, Fraunhofer IESE provides support in issues related to the software engineering of the emerging Industrie 4.0 system.
By using the Industrie 4.0 solution Eclipse BaSyx developed at Fraunhofer IESE, rapid successes could be achieved and a modular, versioned, and flexible production could be developed in an efficient and standardized approach. As a result, a novel solution for addressing flexible production requirements and the constantly growing number of variants is being developed together with Fraunhofer IESE.
