Protecting global pharmaceutical production

Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities operated by the world’s largest drug companies rely on Piller UPS, convertor, stabiliser and energy storage technologies for power protection. 

Pharma fermentation, liquid formulation manufacture, vaccine production and tablet and capsule making that produces hundreds of billions of pills and vaccines each year needs multiple megawatts of protected power.

Inside giant factories, stable power at scale runs the continuous operation of vital environmental control systems, air handling units and data centres. 

Piller also supplies power protection to research and innovation centres at forefront of producing branded & generic formulations, biotechnology products, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), vaccines, biosimilars, and specific niche technologies.

“The world’s largest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies use Piller rotary power generation”

And it doesn’t stop there. In drug manufacturing Operations Technology and IT are converging. Pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution are becoming increasingly digitally controlled. 

In new manufacturing facilities, innovations in production line end-to-end automation and advances in continuous manufacturing are raising the power protection requirement. 

Newer automation technologies are behind requirements for power stability and conditioning across different ratings from low to medium to high scale. 

“Losing electricity for even a few seconds can stop production, lead to contamination and result in compliance failures”

Across the supply chain, companies are deploying IoT and supporting IT systems to track and trace products right through to distributors and even end-users across the world. a

Piller UB-V Electrically Coupled UPS Series
Piller’s UB-V Series, with state-of-the-art technology, is a highly flexible and reliable electrically coupled UPS system. UB-V UPS series highly scalable single units range from 1MW to 3.24MW and are easily paralleled to deliver more than 40MW of power protection.

In the increasingly advanced world of industrial automation, power fluctuations or failures in production lines, and resetting complex manufacturing processes are high risk. Piller UB-V UPS systems are configured to precise manufacturing specifications, ensuring continuous clean power to keep systems running in any power-adverse conditions.

The UB-V provides the highest efficiency, performance and reliability with minimum components and combines the benefits of all different power supply configurations for short term or long-term bridging, with standby generation or with cogeneration. Ideal for use at low and medium voltage operations the UB-V UPS series works equally well with battery or flywheel ride through energy storage options.

“Evolving automation technologies and techniques mean pharmaceutical base manufacturing capacity needs for power flexibility over a facility’s lifetime with assured high levels of uptime is increasing” 

In pharmaceutical industrial applications, new technology deployment poses corresponding UPS challenges and issues associated with load changes, harmonic isolation, ambient conditions and power wastage are more potentially damaging than ever. Read More
