Challenge	Baxter S.A., a global diversified healthcare company, needed to revise its manufacturing facility processes to incorporate automation methods into a new production line. The new automation system needed to assist Baxter in achieving U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21 CFR Part 11 compliance regulations. The automation system selected for the new Baxter production line had to be fully compatible with Baxter’s existing architecture and systems. The company required that the new system integrate Profibus-connected smart sensors into the new manufacturing line process. Production management had to be centralised and include reporting, analysis, traceability and performance monitoring to adhere to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations as well as European compliance standards.

About Customer	Baxter S.A. is a global diversified healthcare company that applies a unique combination of expertise in medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology to develop products that advance patient care worldwide. Baxter’s Lessines, Belgium facility is responsible for manufacturing single and multiple compartment storage bags for administering nutriments to patients intravenously. To streamline its operations, manage operating costs and conform to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 21 CFR Part 11 compliance standards, Baxter needed to revise its manufacturing facility processes to incorporate automation methods into a new production line.

Solution	To achieve this goal, Baxter selected Wonderware software from AVEVA to manage its new production line. Baxter implemented Batch Management for batch execution and genealogy reporting; InTouch HMI for process visualisation; and System Platform powered by Wonderware to provide a single, scalable platform for all SCADA, supervisory HMI and MES applications. The new manufacturing line not only had to double the production capacity, but also had to integrate each of the facility’s sub-systems to form a unified and automated manufacturing process. The new line is composed of six processes for preparing the various nutriments and filling the intravenous storage bags. The use of System Platform in conjunction with InTouch HMI provided Baxter with an open architecture framework that enabled the company to easily incorporate the various technologies operating in the plant.
