The thesis explores the development of a supervisory system for automating a pharmaceutical packaging line. It emphasizes the importance of automation in ensuring quality, efficiency, and safety, based on GAMP, ISA-88, and ISA-95 standards. The work describes the process of creating an iFix project, configuring communication drivers, integrating user interfaces, and implementing event logging and electronic signatures. Special attention is given to adapting the application for a bilingual environment using Python scripts and PLC simulation for faster overall system development.
Testing with IQ tests and OQ tests ensures that the system operates in accordance with specifications. The thesis provides a comprehensive insight into the development of the SCADA application, highlighting automation and standardization as well as solutions to pharmaceutical challenges.
