Festo actively fights the epidemic and uses technology to protect the light of life

At the beginning of this year, an unexpected pneumonia epidemic has had a great impact on everyone's daily life, and has also created different challenges and opportunities in various fields. Nowadays, with the spread of the pneumonia epidemic around the world, the challenges encountered by the manufacturing industries such as the diagnosis and treatment, the pharmaceutical industry, and personal protective equipment related to epidemic prevention will continue to be longer-term and will also enter a lot of opportunities.

As a top-notch company in the automation technology manufacturing industry, Festo responded to the local government's appeal during the Spring Festival holiday to urgently repair part of the production and manufacturing to supply the automated machinery requirements of the mask production line. At this stage, Festo's production capacity in China has already been fully restored, and it is constantly giving full play to its key functions in industries such as DNA testing, medical device recuperation machines, anesthesia machines, personal protective equipment, protective masks, disinfectants, vaccine production and laboratory automation technology for the future, helping to improve the quality and efficiency of anti-epidemic production.

　　Festo's one-stop solution accelerates the production of protective masks and disinfectants

The spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic around the world has skyrocketed the already "hot" requirements for protective masks, and many companies have temporarily added "mask production elites".

For the more commonly used flat masks, the key to standardized production and manufacturing is based on three types of machinery and equipment: film punching machine, distribution machine, and nut spot welding machine. Festo's pneumatic rotating measuring range table DHTG can control the KN95 mask with high efficiency and smoothness to accurately position the edging, which is more stable, more delicate in structure and cost-effective compared with the same industry.

In order to achieve the waterproof level of medical equipment, the sterilization process is the "top priority". An analysis of the disinfection and sterilization process must take seven to more than ten days (the data information comes from the official Weibo of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China). The sterilization process involves a wide variety of substances (vacuum pumps, ethylene oxide, process water, etc.) and must also be completed by multi-channel process pipelines. To ensure the transport of materials and improve the high efficiency of sterilization, the gate valve of Festo is the "best choice". The construction of the pneumatic ball valve of the Festo plant not only ensures the flow of the substance, accelerates and improves the efficiency of the machine and equipment for sterilization and analysis, but also avoids the exposure and leakage of the substance and ensures the safety of the sterilization step.

As an indispensable safety protective product, the demand for disinfectants has increased dramatically during the pneumonia epidemic. The biggest technical standard in the whole process of disinfectant production is quantitative analysis canning. The disinfectant has corrosion, and the specified tank valve is corrosion-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and the gate valve power switch frequency is frequent, and the conversion speed is faster. The patented sealing technology allows the controller to be disassembled and replaced without disassembling the pipeline, preventing substances from entering the controller. Robust and compact structure, long service life, high total flow rate, ideal for corrosive substances.

　　Nucleotide transcriptome sequencing with smooth and precise sequencing

In the whole process of DNA detection, the supertranscriptome sequencer quickly confirms the diagnosis based on high-efficiency and large-scale sample transcriptome sequencing. During the critical period, the customer clearly put forward the requirements of "fast supply, corrosion resistance, and reduced on-site sampling" for this machinery and equipment. The three points that seem simple are actually bottlenecks such as the transportation of many inspection samples, the frequent conversion of positive and negative pressures, the precise manipulation of working pressure index values, and the prevention of experimental reagents from eroding instruments and equipment.

　　Deciphering the medical device dilemma and alleviating the pneumonia epidemic situation

As we all know, people with the new coronavirus can cause heart failure if they are more severe. As key machinery and equipment for the treatment of severe pneumonia, oxygen therapy machines and ventilators are closely related to the life and health of patients. In response to the rapid increase in the number of patients and the shortage of hospital beds, new regulations have just begun to be put forward for the reliability of respiratory medical devices and the adaptability of indoor spaces. In response to the most urgent technical requirements, the Festo proportional relief valve VEMD and the two double proportional solenoid valves VPWS are important for dealing with the dilemma.

For some patients with mild symptoms, the application of portable oxygen therapy machines can make it more convenient for them to carry out medical treatment anytime and anywhere, and reduce the pressure of hospital beds. VEMD is particularly suitable for this type of equipment, as it is compact and lightweight, and has been specially developed and designed for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. It can adjust the specific water yield rate with an integrated control loop with an inductor, and present it to the main control ball as a simulated log data signal, if you type 0.2... The setting point in the range of 10V can easily adjust the capacity and water yield of the system software output section, confirming the advantages of its technical expertise, dynamic response and energy consumption level, and the application of anesthesia machines for critically ill patients, when VPWS must give full play to its overall strength. VPWS is the best choice for medical ventilators due to its light weight, 15mm diameter, large controllable total flow rate, compact design scheme, and high total flow characteristics. It can accurately adjust the mobility of respiratory vapor, strictly control the discharge of CO2 and carbon dioxide, and establish a solid foundation for patient safety precautions. Vaccine research and development, precise and efficient. The diagnosis and treatment industry in various countries around the world has long taken product research and development as the main position. Festo also develops and manufactures new coronary artery seedlings in cooperation with customers.

Vaccine R&D and manufacturing must go through several kilometers of molding, liquid preparation, testing, disinfection and sterilization, filling and packaging. In this step, the processing technology of the liquid preparation step immediately determines the final quality of the pre-seedling finished product. For the whole process of spot test liquid and liquid transmission, the new piezoelectric technology and closed-loop control system technology are selected, which can complete high-precision operation and have good long-term application reliability. In addition to this, Festo also uses the VTUG valve terminal in the pre-seedling preparation system software. It can complete the mechanical automation of the whole process of valves, and complete the precise formulation. Compared with traditional relays, VTUG saves a lot of manpower and is more conducive to on-site pipe arrangement. Its various diagnostic methods can complete rapid fault detection and improve the reliability of the liquid preparation system software.

　　Accelerate experimental scientific research to solve future challenges

The development trend of the pneumonia epidemic cannot be predicted and analyzed. Only by accelerating laboratory scientific research, sampling and dissecting genes in large quantities, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the whole process, can we carry out post-event hepatitis B detection and pre-vaccination development and design to solve a large number of problems that are likely to be encountered in the future. In order to assist laboratories in creating more intelligent prototypes, preparing system software in advance and maximizing profits, Festo presents a range of machine solutions.

During the whole process of genetic collection, it is often necessary to transport liquid samples. Festo has integrated the EXCM floor plan, the ELGC electric cylinder and the EHMD rotary crawling control module to assist the scientific researchers in accurately crawling the collected samples and transporting them to different service centers. In this group of fitness exercise implementation components, the composition of the floor plan gantry EXCM and the electric axis ELGC can ensure the accuracy and smoothness of the whole process of sample movement. The simple installation system and compact design scheme maximize the use of indoor space at work. After moving to the position and direction, the rotating crawling control module EHMD will carry out the crawling work of the template, which is the most compact rotating crawling control module in the same kind of structure, and is very suitable for crawling small objects. In addition, in the whole process of sample preparation, the working pressure or vacuum pump must be adjusted to apply to the use of dispensing and pipetting, which must be operated by the proportional pressure valve VEAB. It uses the independent innovation piezoelectric technology and closed-loop control system technology, has excellent linearity, and the operating pressure control characteristics are constantly consistent, and can maintain stable reliability even for long-term applications.

Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, Festo has maintained close communication and cooperation with customers in the manufacturing industries such as diagnosis and treatment, pharmaceutical, bioscience and packaging, promoting independent innovation of automation technology solutions, accelerating the use of capital in production lines, and ensuring safe, fast and high-quality manufacturing. At this stage, the epidemic situation in China has already been reasonably controlled, and towards the future, Festo will work together with industry partners to ensure excellent automation control and guard the bright light of life!
