Virtual testing of spray shadows, volume flow and cleanability for the pharmaceutical, food and manufacturing industries

ADVISIM^3D is the first resource-efficient 3D cleaning simulation for GMP-compliant container and parts cleaning.

Requirement

The hygienic production, storage and delivery of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foodstuffs place high demands on the cleanability of production areas as well as storage and transport containers. Complex plants with CIP cleaning systems are required to ensure not only product safety and environmental protection, but also compliance with the strict GMP guidelines for quality-assured production.

Problem

The efficient design of systems consumes enormous resources and is based on the valuable experience of engineers. Optimally positioning static and dynamic cleaning nozzles is a major challenge. As a result, cleaning systems are reconfigured several times with the help of complex analog tests, but often end up being oversized to be on the safe side.

Solution

ADVISIM^3D reliably simulates industrial spray cleaning processes. It identifies and realizes optimization potentials for GMP-compliant design, layout and operation of professional cleaning environments. With ADVISIM^3D, users can make valid statements about spray shadows, volume flow distribution and cleaning effect in order to produce and store safely and hygienically.

Requirement

Problem

View selection

Views can be switched on and off as desired via a selection menu. Models, nozzles, and section surfaces can be freely shown or hidden and the viewing direction can be selected and changed as desired.

Linear nozzle motions

Linear motions of a nozzle can be simulated at a particular speed and for a particular time along a direction vector. The starting point is always the nozzle position set in the preview.

Rotating nozzle motions

Linear motions of a nozzle can be simulated at a particular speed and for a particular time along a direction vector. The starting point is always the nozzle position set in the preview.

Simulation parameters

The simulation parameters duration, number of frames per second, and number of steps to be simulated are freely selectable.

Liquid impact

The simulation shows the accumulated liquid impact over a configurable period of time.

Reporting

The preview mode shows the predicted hit area with spray shadows and the distribution of the applied volume flow. The simulation mode provides information on the temporally and locally dispersed volume flow distribution.

The simulation result can be generated in PDF format as a report in preview and simulation mode with all relevant nozzle and geometry information as well as screenshots of previously defined views.

Hygiene meets high-tech: SIG relies on ADVISIM3D for global food safety

North Moluccas, ever heard of it? And what does this northern Indonesian diver's paradise have to do with the ADVISIM3D virtual simulation software for industrial spray cleaning processes? Well, even in this exotic location, state-of-the-art packaging machines from SIG demonstrate their superior technological expertise for the hygienic, aseptic filling of food products.

ADVISIM3D optimises container interiour cleaning at Pharmatec GmbH, a Syntegon Company

In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, customers of Dresden-based Pharmatec place high demands on the quality of the cleaning of containers and production facilities. In modern plants, production residues are removed using automated cleaning systems. A particular problem arises with containers with large volumes and diverse or complicated internals.

ADVISIM3D revolutionises bottle cleaning in pharmaceutical filling and packaging technology at Bausch+Ströbel SE Co. KG

High demands are placed on the cleaning of pharmaceutical machines and containers. For example, bottles for storing and transporting vaccines must be cleaned hygienically before filling in order to reliably remove possible contamination from production, packaging or transportation. A second cleaning process concludes production in order to remove any residue from the outside of the bottles and make the containers ready for transportation.

ADVITEC Manufacturer Report | Why we developed ADVISIM3D and brought it to market maturity

ADVISIM^3D is the market-leading digital answer to the current analog challenges of hygiene safety, resource and environmental protection in industrial cleaning. Together with our cooperation partners in the publicly funded SIMKOR research project, we recognized the need for a virtualization solution for the planning, validation and optimization of spray cleaning processes at an early stage. Conventional methods based on analog tests were time-consuming and resource-intensive and often led to oversized cleaning systems for safety reasons.

Geschäftsführung sowie Mitarbeiter aus dem Marketing und der Software-Entwicklung

Company

ADVISIM^3D is a product and brand of ADVITEC Informatik GmbH, a company that has been managing and consulting complex IT projects for about 30 years.

The software application is based on the SIMKOR research project designed to develop software for performing virtual cleanability tests and simulating complex spray cleaning systems. It was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and successfully realized as a cooperative project with the partners Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV) Dresden, the Innovation and Simulation Service Festenberg (ISF) and the consortium leader ADVITEC Informatik GmbH.

SIMKOR

ADVISIM^3D is based on SIMKOR, a research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research to optimize the use of resources in the development of complex spray cleaning systems. SIMKOR was designed and implemented as a cooperation project in order to integrate the Fraunhofer IVV Dresden, ADVITEC Informatik GmbH, the Innovation and Simulation Service Festenberg (ISF), and Pharmatec GmbH as competence partners as closely as possible.

SIMKOR was successfully completed in 2018. The results serve as a basis for the commercial software product ADVISIM^3D from ADVITEC Informatik GmbH.

FRAUNHOFER IVV

The Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV) Dresden is the leading research institute in the field of static and dynamic spray cleaning. The institute has many years of practical experience in cleaning technology, especially in the experimental research of cause-effect relationships and in the monitoring and recording of cleaning processes.
The central task of the IVV within the scope of SIMKOR was to collect metrological data as a basis for reliable, realistic prognoses of cleaning efficiency, which take into account not only the direct stream impact but also the draining fluid as a cleaning component.

Innovation and Simulation Service Festenberg

The ISF is a proven simulation specialist for both research and private industry. The ISF contributed to SIMKOR and will continue to contribute its expertise and years of experience in the field of 3D programming and computer-graphic visualization to ADVISIM^3D. The main task is to simulate the physically complex spray cleaning of tanks and parts cleaning as realistically and efficiently as possible. ISF uses computer-graphic illumination techniques because the wetting cones of spray nozzles and the light cones of a point light source correlate mathematically. The greatest challenges to be overcome are the simulation of overspray areas, trickle film, and volume application, as well as cleaning impacts of nozzles on rotating elements.

PHARMATEC GmbH

Since 1993 Pharmatec has stood for complete solutions for the production, distribution, and storage of pharmaceutical high-purity media as well as for trend-setting process technology with automation solutions in the field of pharmaceutical end production. The current subsidiary of Syntegon Technology accompanied both the SIMKOR research project and the development of ADVISIM3D as a valuable source of inspiration and sparring partner. The practical tests under the real conditions of an experienced system manufacturer provided and continue to provide valuable information for the productive use of ADVISIM3D and are essential for the development of a realistic cleaning simulation.

ADVITEC Informatik GmbH

The task of the consortium leader ADVITEC Informatik GmbH within the scope of SIMKOR was, in addition to overall project and beta test coordination, primarily software engineering including IVV real and ISF-virtualization and simulation data.

Since its successful completion in 2018, SIMKOR will be further developed by ADVITEC into the standard industry software ADVISIM3D with a modern UX for the simulation of cleaning processes for production, distribution, and storage facilities in the manufacturing industry and commercially marketed starting in 2020.

ADVITEC Informatik GmbH has many years of product marketing experience in the public and private sectors and is exclusively responsible for the software engineering, sales, and support of ADVISIM3D.

There is magic...

in every beginning, this is also true for technical innovations like ADVISIM3D. On the other hand, a convincing, reliable software tool is pretty much the opposite of magic, namely the result of a long, intensive, and iterative development process. ADVISIM3D would also be the first software to be launched on the market and not need to be explained and improved in order to be more oriented to users’ needs.

ADVITEC therefore provides intensive support in the common interest of manufacturers and users and assists with a hotline for inquiries. Our aspiration: The initial magic will gradually be transformed into the industry standard software for virtual cleaning simulation, which has what it takes to become an indispensable digital engineering assistant.
