Jayhawk Fine Chemicals
Jayhawk Fine Chemicals needed to optimize batch production in four plants to ensure consistently high quality for customers across multiple industries, each with specializedrequirements for active ingredients and advanced intermediates.
A variety of Siemens automation and motors & drives solutions, including SIMATIC PCS 7 with SIMATIC BATCH and Advanced Process Library, SIMATIC Virtualization as a Service, SIMIT Simulation Platform, SIMATIC Logon, SIMATIC ET200iSP IO, TIASTAR Motor Control Centers, SINAMICS Variable Frequency Drives, and the Siemens DCS Engineering Solutions team.
“We experienced very good process control with APACS+, but just by installing PCS 7 with BATCH and doing nothing else, we saw a 5% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).”
John Gaines, Business Engineering Manager
Using BATCH, Jayhawk can configure, plan, control and log batch processes directly in PCS 7 while conforming to FDA guidelines. SIMIT allows the team to test new control strategies, including sequences, and make any necessary changes prior to deployment. They have minimized engineering efforts with the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL), which affords them the ability to configure their regulatory controls such as motors, valves and control loops with a pre-tested and proven library.  
SIMATIC ET200iSP IO has greatly streamlined their installation design, simplified their wiring strategies, and minimized costs and space requirements since external barriers are no longer needed.
