1 semester

Students learn about the key challenges and solutions involved in planning production facilities for the food and life sciences industries. The lectures focuses on general tasks such as creating flow charts, material flow analysis, and process planning for batch production. A key component of the lecture is process control technology, covering measurement technology, control engineering, and automation. Furthermore, the most important pieces of equipment are presented and their design is practiced. These include pipelines, pumps, compressors, tanks, and mixers.

In addition to technical planning, determining the manufacturing price and optimizing the process in terms of economic aspects is an important planning step. The course content is developed using a specific project.

Sie sind in der Lage geplante Prozesse mittels der grafischen Methoden abzubilden und Alternativen zu diskutieren und zu bewerten.

Die Studierenden kennen die wichtigsten Ausrüstungsgegenstände von biotechnischen Prozessanlagen Sie sind in der Lage Rohrleitungen, Pumpen und Ventile für die gestellte AUfgabe auszuwählen und zu spezifizieren.

Students are able to translate the manufacture of biotechnological products into concept and plant planning. In addition to technical planning, determining the manufacturing price and optimising the process with regard to economic aspects is an important planning step. Students use various methods to evaluate and present key aspects using examples of the sustainability and safety of industrial production.

Students can use process descriptions to evaluate production processes with regard to the core aspects of sustainability and safety. Students have professional skills to systematically analyse and solve standard tasks in the field of technical operations and production management.
