Life Sciences Facility Intelligent Building Management System

Challenges
Whether building new or retrofitting an existing facility, Life Sciences facilities s are under mounting pressure to do more with less, while also complying with strict regulations, ever-changing technology, and health and safety measures.

Life Sciences companies are challenged with the following:
  •  Worker safety
  • Containment of hazardous materials
  • 100% HVAC/Electrical uptim
  • Integrity of manufacturing process
  • Regulatory compliance (Joint commission, CDC/AIA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, FDA USP 797)
  • Energy efficiency without compromise
  • Theft of drugs/materials

The integration of the various HVAC, mechanical and electrical systems, and services provides the intelligence and building automation to address challenges one through six.
Value Proposition
  • Reduce the time and expense it takes to get new Life Sciences facilities up and running using our proven Building Acceleration Methodology.
  • Ensure workers are safe with Total Environmental Management. When integrated with security, it ensures that workers are safe and that required access controls and environmental data are available on-demand, enabling quality assurance personnel to quickly prove compliance with manufacturing processes/products/research integrity.
  • Improve the environment with our expertise and Sustainability solutions. Design, construct, and operate Life Sciences facilities and equipment with the aim to optimise performance and minimise energy consumption.
Main Characteristics
Schneider Electric offers an intelligent building management system based on proprietary or open (BACNet or LON) protocols which allow the HVAC, mechanical and electrical services to fully integrate into the intelligent building infrastructure.
The intelligent building management system provides monitoring and control of the various engineering systems to maintain the strict environmental conditions that are required within the life sciences facility's environment. This includes:
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control
• Motion control
• Precision airflow control
• Environmental monitoring and control
• Individual room control
• Utility monitoring
• Energy monitoring reporting
• Critical laboratory equipment and services monitoring
• Lighting control and lighting level monitoring
• Fire alarm
Differentiation Factors
  • Open (or proprietary) platforms and backward compatibility provide flexibility and scalability to easily handle future integrations
  • BMS and Security Management can reside on the same platform
  • Seamless integration with best-in-class third-party systems including:
    - Non-Segment Specific
    - Power Monitoring Systems
    - Air Quality System
    - Explosive Gas Detection
    - Lighting Control Systems
    - Fire Alarm Systems
    - Segment Specific
    - Precision Airflow Control Systems
    - Critical Laboratory Equipment Monitoring
    - Environmental Monitoring System
    - Vivarium Control System
    - Animal Watering System
  • User-friendly interfaces for improved productivity
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant
