Modular Machine Platforms

Our machine platforms are based on modules and technologies that have proven themselves in many projects. Nevertheless, there is still enough flexibility to precisely integrate customer-specific requirements. The result is a solution that can be implemented quickly and yet is tailored exactly to the respective process—an efficient addition to individually developed special-purpose machines.

  • Assembly OBDS

    Assembly OBDS

    The platform has a fully modular design. Modules can be docked or undocked within minutes and can be customized. The range of functions extends from labeling and marking to inserting the active ingredient, pressing the lid, and serialization. Depalletizing and palletizing stations can be integrated at the beginning and end of the line. The system supports laminar flow applications and is suitable for small series in clinical trials and launch sites as well as for high-volume production environments. The central machine core can be used with different modules for different formats.2

  • Assembly of Syringe / Auto-Injector

    Assembly of Syringe / Auto-Injector

    Our assembly platform for on-body drug delivery systems is based on a stable and validation-friendly B&R system architecture. The entire system is completely modular. Individual process modules can be docked or undocked within minutes and can be individually designed for the respective application.

    The modules' range of functions extends from labeling and marking to inserting the active ingredient, pressing the lid, and serialization. In addition, depalletizing and palletizing stations can be integrated at the beginning and end of the line. A laminar flow concept is available for sensitive products and can be integrated into the platform.

    The system is suitable for small quantities in clinical trials and launch sites as well as for medium and large production volumes. The central machine core can be combined with different modules so that various product formats and variants can be realized within the same platform.

  • Blister Handling

    Blister Handling

    The blister handling system opens shippers and white boxes, removes complete stacks of blisters, and feeds up to 150 blisters per minute in a controlled manner onto a cycle chain. It can be flexibly adapted to different formats and processes.

  • Labeling

    Labeling

    Our Labeling Platforms cover production requirements ranging from manual product feeding up to 240 autoinjectors per minute. Depending on the application, the Single Labeling Platform delivers up to 120/min, while the Twin Labeling Platform achieves up to 240/min. Both platforms can be seamlessly combined with tray loaders and additional automation modules.

  • Needle Feeder

    Needle Feeder

    The Needle Feeder is an unpacking and feeding system for cardboard and inner packaging. It processes shipper boxes from pallets, separates the needle boxes, and feeds them at a rate of 300 or 400 pieces per minute with high process reliability.

  • Palettizer

    Palettizer

    Our palletizing platform is suitable for syringes, vials, pens, and many other products. It offers precise handling, high process stability, and flexible customization options.

Labeling

RoboMat Labeling Platforms have been developed for the precise and reliable labeling of autoinjectors. Products such as the YpsoMate family require accurate product handling and precise label positioning due to their complex geometries. Our platforms ensure consistent, reproducible labeling across a wide range of product types and production requirements.

All systems are designed to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturing and can be supplied in a GMP-compliant configuration. Audit trails, full traceability and seamless integration into validated production environments are standard features.

The platforms are suitable for, among others:

  • YpsoMate 1 ml
  • YpsoMate 2.25 ml
  • YpsoMate 2.25 ml Pro
  • YpsoMate 5.5 ml
  • SHL Molly
  • Additional autoinjector types upon request

Single Labeling Platform

Up to 120 autoinjectors per minute

The Single Labeling Platform is designed for low to medium production volumes and achieves throughput rates of up to 120 autoinjectors per minute, depending on the application.

A high-precision HERMA labeling system ensures accurate and repeatable label application. The platform can be equipped with an integrated tray loader, providing defined machine autonomy even with manual replenishment.

Thanks to short changeover times and its flexible architecture, the platform is ideally suited for pilot applications as well as commercial production.

Highlights

  • Up to 120 autoinjectors per minute
  • Single HERMA labeling system
  • Optional integrated tray loader
  • Short format changeovers
  • GMP-compliant design
  • Precise and repeatable label application

Twin Labeling Platform

Up to 240 autoinjectors per minute

The Twin Labeling Platform features two synchronized HERMA labeling systems and achieves throughput rates of up to 240 autoinjectors per minute, depending on the application.

The platform offers two operating modes. For maximum throughput, both labeling systems process the same product in parallel. Alternatively, two different product formats can be processed without changeover, providing maximum flexibility for changing production requirements.

The platform is also equipped with an integrated tray loader for automatic product feeding.

Highlights

  • Up to 240 autoinjectors per minute
  • Dual HERMA labeling systems
  • Parallel operation for maximum throughput
  • Multi-format operation without changeover
  • Integrated tray loader
  • GMP-compliant design

Pharmaceutical-compliant design

All RoboMat labelers meet the requirements of pharmaceutical production:

  • GMP-compliant machine design
  • Audit trail and data logging
  • Validateable software architecture
  • Integration of camera inspection and serialization possible
