Siemens' collaboration with Single Use Support is revolutionizing the pharmaceutical design cycle through innovative technologies aimed at enhancing efficiency in handling sensitive liquids like vaccines.
Single Use Support, which operates in Austria and the USA, specializes in single-use technologies for the pharmaceutical sector, focusing on the filling, freezing, storing, and transporting of liquid medicines. By integrating Siemens Xcelerator, particularly Designcenter™ and Teamcenter®, the company has significantly reduced lead times in developing and automating systems for these critical processes. The software allows for scalable designs that meet the stringent demands of the biopharma industry, ranging from simple assemblies to complex machinery.
Markus Fürhapter, CTO of Single Use Support, emphasized the transformative impact of Designcenter, which enables rapid adaptation to industry needs while maintaining design accuracy. The adoption of Teamcenter for product lifecycle management has further streamlined change management, improving documentation and project timelines by up to 15%. This digital-first approach helps Single Use Support respond swiftly to customer needs, enhancing their competitive edge in a complex supply chain environment.
Christopher Unkauf from Siemens highlighted that as pharmaceutical companies face pressures to expedite therapy delivery amidst increasing complexity, Single Use Support's digital strategies exemplify how to leverage such challenges for competitive advantage. The integration of Siemens’ automation solutions further supports the precise requirements of their technologies, ensuring reliability and efficiency in the pharmaceutical supply chain.
