Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Applications
Increase Production Efficiency & Accuracy
Our goal at In-Position Technologies is to help you succeed in your process improvement projects. The Pharmaceutical/Nutraceutical Industries can benefit greatly by optimizing their processes with automatic machine vision and barcode reading systems for measuring, inspecting and traceability. Robotic Arms and mobile robots can also be used in packaging and palletizing applications to reduce operating costs and increase overall efficiency.
Solutions for Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Manufacturing
Machine Vision
2D or 3D Vision can inspect parts and perform other quality checks and traceability tasks.
Quality Control
Smart Cameras can be used to verify when tamper seals are present and placed correctly. They can be used to read and verify lot code, and measure fill levels. Smart Cameras can also be used to detect cap presence and can confirm when they are completely screwed down.
Laser Line Profilers can be used to detect height differences to reveal seal integrity.
Traceability
Improve quality and protect your company by tracking and tracing products as they flow through your facility, limiting product liability and avoiding recalls. For some products, tracking and tracing is required by FDA regulation. Read our detailed Traceability white paper here and our white paper on Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs) here.
Handheld scanners
Stay on top of maintenance activities, identifying parts for return and repair, track assets, handle work orders and other activities. Antimicrobial options with disinfectant-ready enclosures are available.
In-line barcode readers
Used to verify barcode data and track assets as they flow through the manufacturing and sales process. Read our white paper on labeling and bar code reading.
Solve traceability problems by permanently marking your parts with a unique identifier. Lasers can have a relatively high entry cost but with their long life, low maintenance, improved text readability and lack of consumables, have lower total cost of ownership than inkject printers. Read our whitepaper on laser marking.
Sensors
Part detection is typically a critical component to most automated workcells. Applications for Datalogic have a wide array of part detection sensors and sensors for the following applications:
• Part Presence
• Detect Fill Levels
• Inspect Color
• Simple Machine Vision
• Encoders
• Tachometers
• Metal Detection
Packaging and Palletizing
Cobot Arms can safely work alongside human operators without additional safety sensors or guarding – saving you time and space. Check out these case study videos to learn more about robotic palletizing and packaging.
Cobots increase OEE at L’oreal by 5% by performing end-of-line palletizing
Universal Robots save Coty Cosmetics $500k annually by automating packaging.
Automated Material Handling
Mobile Robots can be used to replace manually pushing carts or delivering material.
Applications:
• Replace Forklifts or Tuggers
• Replace Pushing Carts or Trolleys
• Bring raw materials to production line
Conveyors
Conveyors are a simple way to automate and improve process flow. We have conveyor solutions for both standard manufacturing environments and washdown, clean room environments. QC Conveyors provide ease-of-use and time savings as they have a tool-less design for cleaning, swapping and tensioning belts.
We also offer plastic chain conveyors for applications that require a long travel distance or change in elevation. Plastic chain is a good fit for the following applications:
• Alpine Conveyor System
• Elevator Conveyor System
• Lengths up to 100′
TSLOTS
TSLOTS by Bonnell Aluminum are the leading T-slotted aluminum extrusions manufactured, distributed and sold by an aluminum extruder. That means you get the most consistent quality and one of the most extensive offerings in the industry. You never have to worry about color or finish, because all TSLOTS meet the same extremely high standards. TSLOTS Aluminum Extrusions help you quickly and easily create anything from clean rooms to robot enclosures. You simply insert a T-nut and fastener into TSLOTS and tighten. All you need are a few simple hand tools to create a durable, strong, lightweight structure that’s both functional and attractive.
