Feature Article: MTP – Turning visionary concepts into reality

Versatile, modular plants are the process industry's response to constantly changing market requirements, and the pharmaceutical industry is no exception. Flexible technical solutions for the automation of modular plants are in high demand to ensure the consistent implementation of modular plant engineering. Achieving consistency means that industry-wide automation standards must be implemented. The development of standards for integrating individual modules into the production process is currently in full swing.

The Module Type Package (MTP) approach designates each module with a digital description, enabling flexible module connection and orchestration.
