Hubei Kelun Pharmaceutical is a key production base under the Kelun Group and a modern, large-scale pharmaceutical enterprise. With its extensive production lines and high-standard cleanroom facilities, it has an unwavering commitment to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). In every stage of production, packaging, inspection, and warehousing, hundreds of computer systems, monitoring equipment, and paper records require an absolutely unified and authoritative time reference. Even the slightest time deviation could pose significant risks in production batch traceability, equipment operation log correlation, and compliance with official audits.
I. The project initially faced the following problems:
1. Inconsistent time sources: Each system used an independent timing method, leading to time discrepancies between different regions and devices.
2. Inefficient manual time synchronization: Relying on manual periodic verification and calibration was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and could not guarantee real-time accuracy.
3. Compliance risks: Inconsistent time records are one of the main deficiencies found in GMP audits.
4. High requirements for cleanroom environments: All equipment entering the cleanroom must meet dust-free
II. Solution: A Tailor-Made Time Synchronization Solution for Pharmaceutical Plants
Addressing the complex needs of Hubei Kelun Pharmaceutical, Changsha Tianqiong Electronics provided a comprehensive solution integrating various types of clocks to ensure time synchronization covers every corner:
1. Core Precise Timekeeping: Embedded PoE Satellite Synchronized Clock
Application Areas:
Core clean production areas, sterile laboratories, critical process rooms.
Solution:
These clocks directly receive Beidou/GPS satellite signals to obtain national standard time with millisecond accuracy.
III.Key Advantages:
1. Precise Synchronization:
Guarantees authoritative and accurate time from the source.
PoE Power Supply: A single network cable provides both power and data transmission, greatly simplifying wiring inside clean rooms, avoiding wall penetration and reducing the risk of compromising cleanliness.
Embedded Design: The device panel is seamlessly integrated with the cleanroom's color steel plate, eliminating hygiene blind spots and meeting the stringent GMP requirements for smooth, dust-free equipment surfaces.
2. Unified Visual Display Across the Entire Facility: Pharmaceutical Plant Master-Slave Clock System
Application Areas: Production line corridors, lobbies, packaging workshops, office areas, and other public spaces.
Solution: Deploy Tianqiong Electronics' pharmaceutical plant master-slave clock system. Using the satellite master clock as the benchmark, the system network drives all digital or analog slave clocks.
Key Advantages:
Automatic Synchronization: All slave clocks automatically receive signals from the master clock, requiring no manual intervention, achieving highly unified time across the entire facility.
Long-Distance Visibility: Large-sized digital displays (pharmaceutical plant digital clocks) or analog displays allow employees in various areas to clearly see the unified time and coordinate their work.
3. System Integration and Expansion
This clock system can also serve as the NTP time server for the entire factory, seamlessly integrating with the company's MES (Manufacturing Execution System), LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System), and security monitoring systems, providing a unified and reliable time stamp for all data.
III. Project Implementation Results: Comprehensive Improvement in Accuracy, Compliance, and Efficiency
Since the implementation of the Tianqiong electronic clock system, Hubei Kelun Pharmaceutical has achieved a qualitative leap in time management:
Zero Time Deviation Across the Entire Plant: From core workshops to peripheral areas, all clocks display time that is highly consistent with the standard time source, laying a solid foundation for the integrity of production data.
- Strong Guarantee of GMP Compliance: The accurate and tamper-proof time records provided by the system easily meet and exceed the strict requirements of GMP audits for timestamps, significantly improving the company's compliance level.
- Substantial Reduction in Operating Costs: Fully automatic synchronization completely replaces inefficient manual time calibration, freeing up human resources and eliminating the risk of human error.
- Improved Lean Management: The unified time standard optimizes production scheduling and departmental collaboration, reflecting the scientific and refined management philosophy of a modern pharmaceutical factory.
