Digital solutions for biocontainment

Demand-controlled ventilation enables precise measurement, control, and monitoring of air volume flows and room pressures using Critical Environment Technology (CET). Open-standard interfaces allow seamless integration into building automation systems, supporting high levels of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, safety, and security.

Energy efficiency can be improved by up to 50% while maintaining all safety requirements for room ventilation, exhaust systems, pressure control, fume hoods, and air conditioning.

Our solutions for access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas. Centralized recording of user activities and clear overviews of all personnel present support secure operations and help prevent cross-contamination.

Siemens security systems meet the highest standards for critical environments, are scalable, and can be configured to match the exact security requirements of your biocontainment facility.

The Airlock Interlocking System (AIS) provides integrated airlock control based on standard building automation controllers. It operates autonomously and can be adapted to the specific requirements of your biocontainment facility.

Integration with the building management system enables advanced functions such as locking triggered by gas detection systems, dynamic adjustment of purge times, and the management of people flow via integrated access control.

Fully integrated, intelligent building automation solutions control and monitor all parameters that can influence process and product quality in biocontainment facilities. These systems meet strict regulatory requirements in pharmaceutical and life science environments, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce operating costs.

Features include precise magnetic valves, dynamic pressure and airflow controls, calibrated humidity and temperature sensors, and demand-driven adjustment of lighting and shading.

Minimize the risk of cross-contamination caused by people, processes, and biocontainment equipment. Siemens solutions help employees and visitors follow predefined procedures while enabling reliable control and management of physical access to restricted zones through sophisticated, consequential processes.

Biocontainment facilities demand advanced fire protection. S‑LINE fire detectors use ASAtechnology™ for precise and rapid fire detection and alarming, while integrated explosion protection supports safety in hazardous and high‑velocity air environments.

In emergency situations, Sinorix™ fire suppression provides reliable extinguishing tailored to cleanroom fire types. Emergency voice communication and lighting systems deliver clear instructions, prevent panic, and support orderly evacuations.

Comprehensive monitoring provides the transparency needed for informed operational decisions and efficient facility operation. Siemens technology and validation specialists provide reliable GMP-compliant monitoring for critical environments. Environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, air velocity, pressure, particles, and access to sensitive areas can be monitored, stored, and documented.

Standard solutions for data acquisition, visualization, and archiving can be pre-configured and operated via integrated touch panels or networked PCs, with options to integrate airlock controls and presence detectors.
