MTP goes Industry

Save the Date: MTP goes Industry @ Merck Darmstadt

On September 29, 2026, Merck’s headquarters will become a meeting place for pioneers in modular plant engineering. Under the motto “MTP goes Industry”, plant operators, PEA manufacturers, and technology providers will come together to advance the industrial application of the Module Type Package (MTP) standard.

Here’s what you can expect on-site:

The program is specifically tailored to plant builders and suppliers who want to strengthen their competitiveness through modular automation:

• Keynote presentations from the field: Experts from the pharmaceutical, life sciences, and chemical industries will report on current requirements and real-world implementation experiences.
• Knowledge transfer: Learn why MTP-capable equipment is increasingly becoming a decisive factor in operators’ procurement decisions.
• Interactive workshops: Essential questions are addressed in hands-on formats—from getting started with the standard to precise specification.
• Networking & insights: Take advantage of guided tours through the Merck laboratories and exchange ideas with industry decision-makers.

Thinking ahead about automation in P&ID with PlantEngineer

X-Visual is sponsoring the event. During the workshops, we will present our solution for modular engineering: P&ID2MTP.

The P&ID2MTP Generator is an integrated feature of our P&ID software PlantEngineer that bridges the gap between process engineering and automation. It allows users to define MTP interfaces directly within the P&ID, laying the foundation for true plug-and-produce.

The benefits at a glance:

• Early integration: Definition of services, interfaces, and communication parameters directly in the design phase.
• Seamless standardization: Easy fulfillment of operator requirements for MTP-capable equipment without system breaks.
• Maximum efficiency: Accelerated time-to-market through the direct, automated path from P&ID to the finished module.

We look forward to the exchange!

Take this opportunity to experience our solution live in the workshop. We look forward to discussing the future of your modular projects with you in Darmstadt.

Date: September 29, 2026 | 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM (including get-together)

Location: Merck Headquarters, Darmstadt
