Case Study: União Química achieves 20% production increase and 8% cost reduction with Advantech's IIoT DAQ and HMI solutions

Advantech Industry 4.0 Solutions, Excellence in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

União Química, one of Brazil’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, faced low productivity, manual paper-based traceability, poor quality monitoring and limited remote connectivity that constrained production improvements. Advantech was brought in to provide IIoT-enabled data acquisition and HMI solutions—notably the ADAM-6250 digital I/O module and panel PC/HMI systems—to deliver automatic DAQ for production traceability and remote access to line data.

Advantech, working with Orange Pharma IT, implemented an automatic data-acquisition system with ADAM-6250 modules, HMI/operator interfaces and cloud connectivity to enable real‑time monitoring, predictive maintenance and mobile control. The deployment increased production by 20%, reduced costs by 8%, and improved OEE and equipment utilization while ensuring traceability and quality compliance.
