As BioNTech faced the monumental challenge of scaling up vaccine production during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company recognized that its workforce needed more than just a conceptual understanding of manufacturing processes. The complexity and scale of the task demanded that engineers and operations staff be proficient in the specific digital tools and automation systems integral to modern pharmaceutical manufacturing. This required a shift from generic training to specialized, hands-on training focused on the exact software and tools used in their operations.

Training courses:

  • TIA Portal SIMATIC Programming 1 & 2
    These courses equip engineers with in-depth knowledge of Siemens' TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal, enabling them to program and configure PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). This hands-on training is essential for integrating and automating complex manufacturing processes. Engineers who completed this training were able to directly apply their skills to optimize and maintain the automation systems [BioNTech’s MES], which proficiency allowed them to troubleshoot, streamline operations, and contribute to the seamless scaling of production, enhancing their value to any production organization.
  • 3D CAD Essential Modeling Training
    Teaching engineers how to create detailed digital models of production components and systems. It provides the expertise needed to design accurate models that integrate with digital twins and automation systems. Engineers who mastered 3D CAD modeling through this course were pivotal in developing precise digital replicas of production facilities [BioNTech]. This allowed them to simulate and refine processes before implementation, reducing errors in production runs. The ability to manipulate these models is a key differentiator in technical skillset, making trainees indispensable with knowledge of using simulation for rapid production ramp-up.
