Hebei Jiheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiheng Pharmaceutical") has signed a Motion OneCare worry free service agreement with ABB. Through ABB's remote status monitoring and fault recovery services, the efficiency and quality of wastewater treatment have been improved, and the normal operation time of sewage pumps has been extended, thereby helping the entire pharmaceutical plant to operate smoothly at a larger capacity.

Jiheng Pharmaceutical is located in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, about 250 kilometers south of Beijing, China. Its main products include painkillers, vitamin supplements, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Previously, Jiheng Pharmaceutical wanted to improve the reliability of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) in the application of wastewater pumps driven by ten motors to enhance the stability of the production line. The MVR process can recover and reuse the energy lost during the evaporation process, thereby improving efficiency and saving energy. However, in recent years, unplanned shutdowns have occurred due to corrosion of the medium voltage inverter circuit board controlling MVR.

Jiheng Pharmaceutical has approached ABB, hoping to help solve this problem. In order to maximize normal operating time, ABB has proposed an improved maintenance solution, including a series of services provided through the Motion OneCare worry free service agreement, such as fault recovery and remote monitoring services for 2 frequency converters and 10 motors. According to the service agreement, all issues were discovered in a timely manner and subsequently ensured continuous and reliable operation.

Quickly and conveniently obtain effective services
Jiheng Pharmaceutical has changed from traditional regular maintenance to equipment condition based maintenance, which determines maintenance content and time through monitoring equipment status. This transformation eliminates the need for Jiheng Pharmaceutical to pay unexpected maintenance fees and reduces annual equipment maintenance costs by 40%.

Relying on customized service solutions, ABB provides equipment condition based maintenance solutions for Jiheng Pharmaceutical. According to the Motion OneCare worry free service agreement, ABB engineers can provide remote and on-site support, significantly reducing response time and increasing normal operating time from around 80% to over 90%. After more stable operation, both the efficiency and quality of wastewater treatment have been improved by 10%. This means that the entire factory can now operate at full capacity, maximizing the revenue of Jiheng Pharmaceutical.

Liu Xiaowei, Electrical Director of Hebei Jiheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., said, "ABB has provided us with the necessary services and expert support to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of our equipment. This is crucial for the smooth production of our factory. Our cooperation with ABB on this project is very pleasant, and we look forward to further cooperation in the future
This case demonstrates how digital solutions can help customers reduce unplanned shutdowns and extend normal operating time. Our Motion OneCare protocol allows customers to customize the required services based on their actual situation, reducing maintenance costs while improving normal operating time, "said Deng Zhixin, the head of ABB's Motion Control Business Unit Service Business Unit in China
