As one of the leading specialists in industrial automation of process plants, Penta-Electric has comprehensive experience in a wide range of industries – in Switzerland as well as abroad. This includes work for the pharmaceutical industry in particular. We’ll gladly accept any challenge head-on with our extensive expertise and experience, and prove to you that perfection is achievable.

A pharmaceutical company in Basel has constructed a new GMP-compliant API production plant in an existing building with complex technical requirements and strict schedules. New ventilation systems, clean rooms in various categories, plant areas for peripheral systems, as well as remote controls had to be installed in this building. A monitoring system for room data was also required. The cleanrooms have explosive zones and had to be installed in accordance with ATEX guidelines.

Its experienced installation team enabled Penta-Electric to complete the installation while the planning phase was still in progress. Thanks to the specialist expertise and the commitment of our team, a high-quality solution delivered on time was guaranteed.

Our many years of experience with EI&C installation projects in the pharmaceutical, chemical and biotech industries form the foundation that enables Penta-Electric to develop targeted solutions even in critical situations and under time pressure. The comprehensive trust on both sides meant that the decision-making processes were short, which was crucial to the project’s success.

Solution-oriented collaboration between the project teams for a time-critical project during a global pandemic with all its implications, including supply difficulties, staff shortages and official measures.

Bachem AG in Bubendorf constructed a new plant for producing oligonucleotides. The new process technology required an extended basic engineering phase.
This optimum preparatory work paved the way for quick execution of detailed engineering and project implementation and ensured that the completion deadline was met.

Engineering, supply and installation for the Oligo Building G project, with 6 mixed feeder systems (25 buffer tanks), 9 media panels, and connection to 8 package units:

Our solid knowledge and experience with automation projects at Bachem made it possible to develop a quick, custom-fit solution for this plant and carry it out with targeted focus.
The automation was implemented using the M-Pro master project developed by Penta-Electric. Thanks to the structured and standardized architecture of M-Pro, only the basic functions had to be programmed. Most of the software was generated by parametrization.

All of the standards applied by Penta-Electric in planning, programming, installation and qualification enable quick, parallel processing of the tasks mandated, with good reliability in achieving the required functions. The high level of mutual trust between Pent-Electric and Bachem allowed the project to be executed with minimal administrative effort, contributing decisively to the project’s success.

A large project team had to be staffed within a very short time owing to the short notice prior to project kick-off. Work on planning the EI&C system, generating the functional descriptions and programming the software had to be started in parallel due to the tight project schedule. This parallel processing of multiple tasks required efficient communication. Any changes needed had to be incorporated flexibly and quickly. It was also necessary during installation to closely coordinate with other work packages to keep on schedule.

Siegfried AG introduced new process instrumentation and controls to modernize reactors in its chemical API production. The project had to be executed under extreme time pressure, as production runs had already been scheduled.

The order called for engineering a project with six reactors, five receivers, and seven storage tanks:

The project was successfully completed to a high standard within a very tight schedule thanks to optimum staffing of the 8-strong team and the close collaboration of everyone involved. Plant operations restarted and have been running continuously 24/7 ever since without a hitch.

Our vast experience in planning and designing EI&C systems and programming control systems enabled the specified requirements to be successfully implemented within the defined time frame.

Working under heavy time pressure, personnel had to tackle multiple tasks in parallel while implementing changes flexibly and swiftly. This demanded close, comprehensive communication between all participants.
