LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 Precipitation and Soil Humidity Measurement in Japan In order to facilitate decision-making within the scope of a meteorological project in agriculture, OPUS200 modules and radar rain sensors were installed to measure precipitation and soil humidity. The measurement data captured by the R2S sensors is also used for other applications. Data transfer and visualisation take place via DOPA radio transmission. ___________________________________________________________ C210 – the ideal measuring instrument for conditioning and drying hops Measurement of temperature and relative humidity in the ventilation duct or air distribution chamber of the conditioning plant is of decisive importance for best possible drying of hops (drying kiln). Careful, even drying of the hops is necessary to give good quality. The C210 was extensively tested for this application by the Bavarian Regional Institute for Agriculture (Hops Consulting Service, Wolnzach) and rated as excellent. Due to the very good test results, numerous C210 measuring instruments were sold to agricultural companies during the hop harvesting season in August/September. © by LUFFT Page 4
LUFFT - News Issue 6 / December 2005 APOSAN Dr. Künzer GmbH Current Pharma Projects When important, sterile drugs have to be prepared for patients against individual orders under clean room conditions, this requires sophisticated production logistics and cleaning processes organised in the best possible way. Aposan, of Cologne, produces application- ready, sterile prescription drugs in batch sizes of one and upwards. On request and repeatedly during the day, drugs are individually produced in accordance with doctors' prescriptions and delivered throughout the whole of Germany within 24 hours. Without an online monitoring system, manufacturing in accordance with GMP specifications and Article 13 of the German Pharmaceuticals Act (AMG) would not be possible. SmartControl, the user friendly software launched by Lufft in February 2005, enables the Company to guarantee the highest quality in the newly constructed production building. "The date for the regional authority's acceptance test of the clean rooms was already set, even before the order for the construction of the clean rooms was placed", recalls Volker Jüngerich. The pharmacist and production director of Aposan Dr. Künzer GmbH, the Cologne-based pharmaceutical company founded in 1991, was jointly responsible for the project to relocate the production facility from central Cologne to the Kalk district of the same city. A technology park has been created on the land once occupied by the famous Hagen battery factory, and more than 20 biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other companies have moved in. Aposan has created a high-tech clean room production facility there, which not only serves to showcase the equipment to customers but also provides a service to pharmacists and health insurance companies. Aposan Dr. Künzer GmbH is a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and provider of medical services. The Company has specialised in the production of drugs for individual patients, administered by injection or intravenous infusion. Lufft Opus 300i dataloggers measure and collect the data for differential pressure, relative humidity, temperature and particle count. The SmartControl software controls, evaluates and transmits alarms when limit thresholds are violated. "The plant had to be approved on 15 February 2005, yet when the first construction project meeting took place in November the first brick had not even been laid". But Michael Busse also confirms that the "immense deadline pressure" also promoted great cooperation. The head of Busse Industrietechnik in Marl, Lufft's representative in North Rhein-Westphalia, knows that customers are constantly delighted with the Lufft solution. This is also confirmed by Jüngerich when he describes the software as "somewhat more expensive but much more reliable than others. It has redundancy and a simple, coherent design, can be operated intuitively and gives us the data that we need quickly." And Busse adds with a grin: "One 'notices' (German: 'merckt') that an important pharmaceutical company provided the impetus for the software and supported its development." The fact that the acceptance test by the regional authority took place on time and was successful can certainly be put down to the excellent cooperation between all parties concerned. © by LUFFT Page 5
