SCADA migration under cleanroom conditions
Complex modernisation in pharmaceutical manufacturing
The pharmaceutical industry operates to the highest standards. Strict hygiene requirements and complete data traceability are essential.
This was precisely the environment in which we carried out the migration and modernisation of a SCADA system for one of Poland’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers while production remained fully operational. The primary objective was to transfer the existing visualisation and data acquisition functions to a new, independent system.
Working closely with three teams – SCHULZ, Rockwell and the customer’s IT department – we installed and configured new servers. At the same time, we modernised visualisation systems, replaced control components and carried out comprehensive IQ and OQ validation procedures. New operator interfaces and additional HMI panels improved system visibility and ensured local operational control. Thanks to our extensive pharmaceutical expertise, we successfully completed the migration during ongoing production despite stringent hygiene, cybersecurity and scheduling requirements.
The result is greater operational security, clearly structured system architecture and maximum transparency – a future-ready automation solution designed to meet the highest industry standards.
This successful migration demonstrates the importance of deep process expertise, precise planning and close collaboration in sensitive production environments.
