ISO 9001<br />

Swift conversion, cross-machine control and reliable remote maintenance:<br />

in exceptional times such as <strong>the</strong> coronavirus crisis, it becomes<br />

apparent just how fast and comprehensively pharmaceutical<br />

manufacturers need to react to volatile production conditions. Demand<br />

and availability can change at any time. These agility requirements<br />

can be organised more efficiently using digital tools. For<br />

example, it is more important than ever to be able to use live<br />

chats and video conferencing <strong>for</strong> remote maintenance as well as<br />

augmented reality applications <strong>for</strong> increased precision. Fette Compacting<br />

is now making a comprehensive set of digital solutions<br />

available <strong>for</strong> tablet and capsule production. You can learn more<br />

about <strong>the</strong>se solutions in an article on page 44.<br />

Digitalisation doesn’t stop at Ex zone 1. Comprehensive networking<br />

in <strong>the</strong> sense of Industry 4.0 can offer <strong>the</strong> process <strong>industry</strong> significant<br />

advantages when it comes to efficiency, specifically with regard<br />

to integral data processing, system and remote monitoring, predictive<br />

maintenance or intelligent diagnostics. Jürgen Wenzel, Business<br />

Development Manager, and André Fritsch, Remote I/O Product<br />

Manager, of explosion protection specialist R. Stahl provide a<br />

glimpse into technological developments at <strong>the</strong> company in our<br />

interview on page 30.<br />

Finally, a brief comment on <strong>the</strong> title article of this issue, which<br />

deals with quick access to all level data at Georg Oest Mineralölwerk,<br />

based in Freudenstadt, Germany. Thanks to <strong>the</strong> Vega Inventory<br />

System, <strong>the</strong> company has fast access to both current and historical<br />

consumption data. You can find out more about this <strong>technology</strong> in<br />

an article on page 20.<br />
