Modular technologies for customized automation solutions
Consistent Design Language – From Mechanics to Software
Pharmabotix systems stand out through their unmistakable, consistently standardized design. From the modular base frame to the ergonomic door handles to the functional HMI mounting arm – mechanically, our systems follow a uniform, high-quality approach. We continue this consistency in control cabinet construction and control technology to offer you an automation platform that sets standards in both aesthetics and technology.
- Unified Design Language: Identical mechanical components across all system types for intuitive operation and simplified maintenance
- Siemens Control DNA: Use of high-end Siemens S7 controllers for maximum reliability and process security in regulated environments
- Advanced HMI Technology: High-resolution Siemens Unified Comfort Panels ensure full compliance with stringent pharma requirements (e.g., 21 CFR Part 11)
- Open PC-Based Architecture: Our systems offer maximum flexibility for customer-specific software extensions and data analysis
- Superior Connectivity: Seamless vertical and horizontal integration into your IT landscape via state-of-the-art interfaces like OPC UA
- Efficient Control Cabinet Construction: Standardized layouts and documentation reduce commissioning time and facilitate service worldwide
Vendor-Agnostic Technology Integration
Unique marking of primary and secondary packaging is a critical step in the pharmaceutical value chain. We offer you full flexibility in choosing marking technology: Whether laser coding, precise labeling, or high-resolution inkjet printing – we integrate the optimal system for your specific customer process.
- Technology-Agnostic Approach: Seamless integration of leading marking systems such as lasers, labelers, or printers, precisely matched to your material requirements
- Central Control Basis: Full integration of marking systems into the standardized Pharmabotix control (Siemens S7), reducing overall system complexity
- Comprehensive Data Management: Secure transmission of print data and serialization numbers directly from your ERP or MES system via OPC UA
- Precise Handling: Mechanical integration ensuring stable positioning of containers to guarantee highest print quality and readability
- Combined Verification: Ideal preparation for direct connection of vision systems for immediate inline inspection of marking results
- Recipe-Controlled Formats: Quick adjustment of print content and positions via central 24" HMI during product or batch changes
Giving Your Automation Solutions "Senses"
We give your automation solutions “senses” to ensure the highest quality standards and master complex handling tasks. Through integration of state-of-the-art camera systems and highly specialized process sensors, we enable seamless monitoring and control of your production in real-time.
- Advanced Vision Systems: Implementation of powerful cameras for precise quality control, defect detection, or control of robot-assisted pick-and-place tasks
- Comprehensive Sensor Integration: Use of sensors for every requirement – from simple presence checks to highly complex measurement processes for active ingredient manufacturing
- Process Sensors for Peptide Manufacturing: Integration of specialized probes for monitoring impedance, temperature, pH value, and other critical process parameters
- Smart Robot Guidance: 2D and 3D position detection enables the robot to safely grip unsorted parts (bin-picking) directly from the feed
- Real-Time Data Processing: Direct evaluation of all sensor data within the Siemens control for immediate process adjustment or rejection of defective parts
- Complete Documentation: All captured quality data is stored in the audit trail to ensure full traceability according to GMP requirements
The Backbone of Every High-Performance Automation Solution
Automated feeding and precise transport form the backbone of every high-performance automation solution. We design customized systems that reliably singulate and convey your primary packaging, components, as well as liquid and solid media in a process-safe manner – always considering the highest pharmaceutical protection standards and dosing accuracies.
- Smart Feeders with Vision Integration: Use of flexible feeding systems that determine the exact position of parts via camera recognition, enabling universal pick-and-place without mechanical changeover
- Handling of Liquids & Solids: Integration of specialized feeding systems for precise dosing and introduction of liquids and solid active ingredients into the automation process
- Magnetic-Based Transport Systems: Implementation of state-of-the-art linear motor technology (e.g., SuperTrak) for independent shuttle control, highest positioning accuracy, and maximum cycle times
- Classic & Modular Conveyor Technology: Cleanroom-compatible spiral conveyors, conveyor belts, and workpiece carrier systems for vibration-free transfer of vials, syringes, or complex assemblies
Deep Understanding of Your Manufacturing Process
The key to a successful custom solution lies in deep understanding of your individual manufacturing process. We specialize in integrating your existing customer equipment and highly specific machines into a modern, superior automation landscape. Through the combination of your process experts with our engineering team, we create solutions that harmonize technically perfectly and elevate your production to the next level.
- Targeted Knowledge Transfer: We start every project with a detailed process inspection on-site to seamlessly transfer the expertise of your specialists to our engineering team
- Hand-in-Hand Engineering: Joint development of the best automation strategy to precisely map your specific process requirements
- Automation of Existing Equipment: We make your manual or semi-automatic customer equipment "automation-ready" and integrate them mechanically and control-wise
- Seamless Connectivity: Anbindung von Drittanbieter-Maschinen via OPC UA, Profinet oder massgeschneiderten Schnittstellen an die zentrale Pharmabotix-Steuerung
- Centralized Operation: Integration of machine functions into the intuitive 24" Siemens Unified HMI for a uniform operating concept across the entire system
- Validated Complete Solution: We ensure that integrated components meet all GMP requirements and flow seamlessly into quality documentation
