Liquid and solid production

The Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient industry (API) are manufactured from raw materials through both chemical and physical means. Depending on the complexity of the molecule required, synthesis of APIs might need multi-step complex chemistry utilizing a range of processing technologies. Regardless of where the active pharmaceutical ingredient is made, companies must adhere to strict safety and quality standards set by the country where it will be used.

Once individually packed, the journey to shipment starts. The requirements within the secondary packaging area is less restrictive than within an isolator, however the cleanability of equipment still has an essential role. Throughout the task, traceability is mandatory, with robotics offering huge flexibility for inspection at each stage of the process.

With quality assurance having the most stringent requirements, we foresee more and more demand on inspection units. On the secondary packaging area, collaborative aspects of the robots can be considered to ensure safety of the workers while sustaining high levels of productivity.
