The key focus pillars for obtaining Sustainability In Life Science
through EcoStruxure solutions include:
Water Conservation: Leveraging real-time water tracking to enable businesses to
monitor water usage with precision, linking water quality risks directly to
operational and governance strategies. Additionally, the introduction of on-site
water treatment capabilities and innovative VOC recovery methods will
contribute towards environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance.
Process Electrification: Empowering businesses to embrace electrification to drive towards
a greener and more efficient future by optimizing energy distribution, ensuring
seamless integration of renewables, and the management of microgrids.
Sustainability by design: Embedding
sustainability across every step of the design through process optimization to streamline
processes, increase efficiency, and reduce wastage.
Green electricity: Assisting the pharmaceutical sector to source
green electricity through renewables, PPAs, and minimizing offsets to spearhead
sustainability across the value chain.
Reduce GHG Scope 1 & Scope 2: Empowering the sector to reduce its Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions by offering
consulting solutions covering decarbonisation and energy strategy, energy
management solutions, carbon capture technology, green hydrogen solutions, and
integrated power and process solutions.
Circularity: Collaborating closely with upstream suppliers
and partners to ensure the sourcing of 100% circular materials and ingredients
while managing waste efficiently.
Reduce GHG Scope 3: Deploying the best practices by leveraging
data, tracking carbon emissions throughout the portfolio, and identifying
priority areas for continuous improvement. Leveraging low-carbon design
standards for major projects, implementing supply-side management, harnessing
digital tools and digital twin technologies, and promoting green
certificates.
AVEVA PI System: An industry-leading data management solution
that collects and stores data from any location and source. It offers deeper
operational insight, faster analysis of critical data, and expanded visibility
of remote assets and IIoT sensors, helping the pharma facility operate more
efficiently and sustainably.
Cobots: Schneider Electric provides collaborative
robots (cobots) that are designed to work alongside human operators to enhance
efficiency, safety, and productivity in life science applications. They can
perform tasks such as lab automation, sample handling, and packaging with
precision and reliability. These are ideal for protecting sterile environments
from contamination and can complete repetitive tasks with low error once
programmed.
