Full Packing Line Design, Integration, and Custom Packaging Systems
We're industry leaders in our field because we integrate top-of-the-line technology and automation into every aspect of our integrated packaging systems. This allows us to meet even the most complex needs and support a wide range of applications.
Robotics
From automatic case erecting and loading to bundling, palletizing, and line-tracking, our robotic packaging solutions are varied. We use multi-axis robotic arms to solve challenges throughout the design and deployment process, including the prototyping, integration, and maintenance stages.
Machine Vision
Our machine vision software helps users create customized algorithms so they can independently deploy their own packaging operations. This simplifies steps such as palletizing/depalletizing, machine tending, bin picking, and more.
Labeling
We can integrate a range of embossing, ink jet printing or labeling features into our equipment as required. While this addition can benefit any company, it's especially beneficial in the pharmaceutical industry, where companies must follow strict coding, labeling and serialization standards.
Washdown and Sanitary
We know that some industries, such as the F&B and pharmaceutical sectors, require extremely clean and sterile environments, even in the warehouse. Our equipment can stand up against washdown and sanitation procedures, including high-pressure spray or heat, without losing its appearance or functionality.
Electrical components are safely concealed in washdown, waterproof electrical enclosures meet NEMA requirements. This means proper precautions are in place to ensure splashes and streams from a hose don't interfere with its capabilities.
Quality, Safety, and Compliance
We design our products to be intuitive, high-quality, and user-friendly. We also ensure they align with industry regulations and requirements. All our products are quality, safety / sanitization tested and further supported by risk assessments, GMP & GAMP’s compliance and IQ/OQ qualifications.
Overall Adherence to GMPs
Our team will draft and compile documentation to prove that all aspects of our machine development process comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP 5) standards.
Documentation
Operation Manuals
We won't ask you to decipher system functionality on your own. Our systems come equipped with all the documentation you need to conduct staff training, as well as guides to help you use, maintain, and standardize your machines.
FAT/SAT Procedures for Successful implementation
We follow industry-regulated best practices when conducting each factory acceptance test (FAT) and site acceptance test (SAT). For each test, we closely check the following components:
- Basic machine function
- Software, hardware, automation
- Machine output
- Documentation
Both FAT and SAT testing allow us to verify that the system in question is functioning correctly and complies with relevant standards and specifications.
IQ-OQ-PQ
Our Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) protocols allow us to perform two key actions:
- Ensure all sites can accommodate new packaging equipment before installation
- Verify that all equipment is achieving or exceeding operational requirements once installed
Through initial IQ testing, we ensure that all of our parts are installed and configured according to manufacturer specifications and our own installation checklists. Then, our OQ testing includes identifying and checking components that could impact the quality of our final product. As the final step, PQ testing involves verifying and documenting that the design meets all user requirements.
Together, all of these processes help use ensure that our packaging solutions meet strict standards for usability and quality assurance. They also keep our production processes consistent, so that quality never wavers.
Built-in Machine Safety
High-tech packaging solutions like ours can be dangerous if used improperly. That's why we designed them with built-in controls to support user safety and prevent accidents.
Guarding, Interlocks
Guarding software supports safe and accurate end of line packing machines, helping to control where the robotic arms go. In addition, we also install safety electrical interlocks to prevent machines from operating or starting up in an unsafe environment.
Electrical
We take electrical safety seriously, and we're transparent about our compliance with industry-leading standards, including NEMA and UL.
NEMA
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has defined the standards that North American manufacturers must use when deploying different grades of electrical enclosures in industrial applications. Our solutions are NEMA compliant.
UL
We also follow all applicable Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines when developing, testing, and deploying our components, materials, and systems. These are the most widely known and followed standards in the electrical industry.
