Building management system for Bavarian Nordic’s filling facility

In parallel with the construction project, Init built the building management system for Bavarian Nordic’s new filling facility

 

In 2018, Bavarian Nordic began construction of a 3,200 m2 fill-finish facility in extension of its existing large-scale vaccine manufacturing facility in Denmark.

Aspiration

Efficient control of all building automation

Equipped with isolator technology, and with large-scale lyophilisation, labelling and packaging line, Bavarian Nordic’s new facility will further improve the company’s ability to manufacture multiple products, e.g. smallpox vaccine, at commercial scale. The new facility has been designed with a potential annual capacity of up to 40 million doses of liquid vaccines and 8 million doses of freeze-dried vaccines.

 

Bavarian Nordic wanted to ensure efficient control of all building automation in its new filling facility.

 

Solution

Advanced building management system

Bavarian Nordic entrusted Init with the task of building a state-of-the-art building management system.

 

Init’s automation specialists programmed an advanced building management system in the Siemens TIA portal with a SCADA solution based on iFIX.

 

Accommodating design changes in the automation project

 

Init built the BMS in parallel with the fast-track construction project. This caused significant design changes to the BMS and changes to the schedule, all of which was accommodated in the automation project.

Result

Consistent climate conditions

With the new building management system, Bavarian Nordic is able to ensure correct and consistent climate conditions in the production environment.
