Auf der ACHEMA 2022 wurden vielfa ¨ltige Lo ¨sungen zur Modularisierung in der Prozessindustrie vorgestellt. In diesem Nachbericht werden insbesondere neue Bereiche der Modularisierung vorgestellt sowie Ergebnisse von Expertenbefragungen hinsichtlich der aktuellen und zuku ¨nftigen Herausforderungen der modularen Produktion beleuchtet. Obwohl in den letzten Jahren umfassende Fortschritte erzielt worden sind, stehen viele Unternehmen vor großen Herausforderungen, die nur in enger Zusammenarbeit von Modul-und Komponentenlieferanten, Anlagenbetreibern und Systemintegratoren sowie Anbietern von Automatisierungslo ¨sungen gemeistert werden ko ¨nnen.
The modularization of production plants and their automation in the pharmaceutical and (bio-)chemical industry is currently gaining attention and is subject of standardization efforts. The combination of modular and monolithic (bio-)chemical plants and related engineering processes, i.e., hybrid process plants and hybrid engineering, respectively, offers advantages in production flexibility and time to operation. However, combining the different approaches is full of hurdles and unsolved issues. In this paper, hybrid process plants are defined and characterized in a process systems framework. Modeling and simulation requirements are elaborated for the engineering workflow of hybrid process plants. The contribution concludes with summarizing current research topics and pointing to a future research agenda.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
