Zhejiang pharmaceutical enterprises step into the fast lane of steady growth by vigorously using intelligent manufacturing technology

[China Pharmaceutical network industry trends] biomedicine and high-performance medical devices are one of the top ten key areas of "made in China 2025" As a pharmaceutical industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, it is entering a critical stage of seeking innovation and development with intelligent manufacturing A few days ago, the "intelligent manufacturing promotion conference of the pharmaceutical industry of the whole province" was held in Taizhou This promotion conference was hosted by Zhejiang Provincial Economic and Information Commission (Zhejiang pharmaceutical enterprises step into the fast lane of steady growth by vigorously using intelligent manufacturing technology photo source: Baidu photo) the promotion conference discussed new intelligent manufacturing technologies, new products and new trends in the pharmaceutical industry, which Liu Xiaofeng introduced attracted the attention of representatives of the pharmaceutical industry attending the promotion conference In 2016, scientists from Massachusetts Institute of technology introduced a fully automatic drug production machine similar to refrigerator in science magazine It integrates circuit, heater, mixer, reactor and filter in traditional pharmaceutical process into a closed workstation with length of 7.3m, width of 2.4m and height of 2.4m for production, realizing intelligent manufacturing of drug production "With it, we usually need drugs produced by multiple factories, which can be completed only by this machine This technology is worth looking forward to in the future." Dr Liu Xiaofeng, vice president of R & D of Zhejiang xianjujunye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd Wang SOE, deputy director of the economic and Information Commission of Zhejiang Province, said at the meeting that Zhejiang is a large province of pharmaceutical production, operation and use The pharmaceutical industry has basically ended the adjustment period of more than ten years and entered the fast lane of intelligent manufacturing and steady growth According to reports, in 2016, the total output value of Pharmaceutical Enterprises above Designated Size in the province was 139.9 billion yuan, up 9.2% year-on-year; the output value of new products was 56.9 billion yuan, up 10.6% year-on-year In the traditional Chinese medicine liquid preparation workshop of Jiangzhong pharmaceutical Valley, the extraction, separation, purification, ingredients, bottle washing, sealing, detection, packing, stacking and other links are completed by 107 robots The formation of traditional Chinese medicine preparations that have passed on for thousands of years has been completely replaced by intelligent manufacturing Many Zhejiang pharmaceutical enterprises have made very good achievements in intelligent manufacturing transformation "Using genetic engineering technology to transform strains for sterol fermentation" is a five-year technical achievement of Zhejiang xianjujunye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd and Tianjin Institute of biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Using modern genetic engineering technology to replace the traditional mutation breeding technology for strain transformation, a breakthrough has been made in the field of using plant sterol fermentation to produce sterol key intermediate Fruit Junye pharmaceutical is ready to put into production a set of universal fermentation production line with an annual output of 1000 tons of key steroids intermediates The whole fermentation production line will replace the traditional batch manual intermittent control mode with the advanced continuous and highly automated flow line control mode The number of employees in the whole production line is controlled within 20 in three shifts, while the traditional production line needs more than 100 This technology can increase the product yield by 30% ~ 50% and reduce the cost by 30% ~ 50% compared with the global industry average While improving the production efficiency of enterprises, it can greatly reduce the production cost of enterprises, which is the change of intelligent manufacturing technology for the medical industry On the spot of the promotion meeting, the reporter saw that many pharmaceutical enterprises have promoted their new intelligent manufacturing technologies and products to varying degrees, including the three-year practical achievements of Zhejiang Letai science and Technology Co., Ltd in industry 4.0, big data, cloud platform and other aspects of the medical industry, intelligent manufacturing in the process industry of Hangzhou Centralized Control Co., Ltd., and cloud meter of pharmaceutical enterprises of Zhejiang branch of Xinhua three group Solutions for computing and big data, solutions for the Internet of things in the medical and chemical industry system of Zhejiang Enda Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd and solutions for the pharmaceutical industry of Tuofeng technology, etc "Zhejiang Province has formed a number of service providers of intelligent manufacturing technology in the pharmaceutical industry, and they have made good breakthroughs and achievements in the innovation of intelligent manufacturing technology in the pharmaceutical industry, which has a very important demonstration significance for promoting the application of intelligent manufacturing technology in the pharmaceutical industry and promoting the innovation of intelligent manufacturing technology in the pharmaceutical industry."
