Vitens N.V. intends to replace the outdated microbiological laboratory automation systems, which have been in use for more than 15 years. The current systems no longer meet modern techniques, safety, and security standards and require increasing amounts of maintenance. The new solution must offer an optimized layout of the analysis blocks, expand capacity, and comply with current security requirements. Vitens is looking for a party to handle both the implementation and the management of the new systems, including training, maintenance, and continuous optimization. The contract concerns the supply of new automation hardware, software, and associated services, with a focus on reliability, scalability, and compliance with EU regulations.
Reason and vision: The process automation systems in the microbiological laboratory are end of life and must be replaced. The systems have been in use for more than 15 years and no longer meet current techniques, resulting in an increasing need for maintenance and an inability to meet current security requirements. Additionally, it has been observed that optimization and necessary capacity expansion are required and can be achieved through an adapted layout of the analysis blocks. Vitens is looking for a party that will serve as both an implementation partner and a management partner.
