A fully integrated ready-to-use solution for your aseptic manufacturing
In its dual role of manufacturer and provider of Engineering Systems, Stevanato Group develops technological solutions that satisfy the most demanding customer: ourselves!
Stevanato Group Engineering Systems, through targeted acquisitions, gained the needed experience and know how to propose integrated solutions that combine modularity and complementarity. The benefit for any production company is the drastic improvement of its manufacturing processes.
After five decades, Stevanato Group Engineering Systems is one of most qualified and expert partner for anyone who wants to transform and automate its production process in a Smart Industrial Solution.
Multiple-product and variant-capable lines which automatically reconfigure themselves for the next batch.
This allows efficient and economic production of even the smallest sized batches, making mass customization affordable, as in our lines for clinical trial manufacturing and personalized medicines.
Flexible handling systems, automatic material loading, logistic integration, machines interconnected with warehouses and external suppliers all contributing to a lights-out manufacturing process.
Zero Defects as a result of a 100% inspection of each manufacturing step using either sensors or cameras, maximising line efficiency and investment return. Real-time feedback enables immediate correction and eliminates non-conformities. Absence of rejects and rework-associated costs.
New products can be introduced onto the market in a very short time thanks to production simulation systems. Once set up, the “Digital Twin” model stays live, allowing for constant and immediate feedback between theoretical and effective plant performances, identifying deviations and bottlenecks.
The Challenge
Our customer needed to install a line capable of assembling cartridges, vials & syringes with devices, pack them, together with accessories and instructions, in several carton presentation.
Necessity of full serialization, aggregation and reconciliation capabilities.
The solution
Stevanato Group Engineering Systems designed and delivered a single line, less than 10 meter long, able to satisfy the customer needs, packaging the various products in 148 different combinations of different carton sizes and extended range of glass containers. The changeover time is less than 20 minutes, from last to first good product.
Key Benefits
The main advantages are:
The challenge
Our customer, a multinational Pharma producer, after receiving the approval for launching on the market a new family of products needed to fill them in a primary glass container of new design not commercially available. It had to be pre-sterilized and ready to use. Stevanato Group Engineering Solutions needed to develop in a very short time a line capable of processing multiple containers with extremely tight quality specifications.
The solution
Combining the competences of the various divisions, Stevanato Group Engineering Systems developed an innovative manufacturing process combining the latest developments in material handling, process control and multi-format management. Partnering with a world class manufacturer of washing and depyrogenation equipment, Stevanato Group Engineering Solutions supplied a turn key solution satisfying and exceeding the original request.
A change over lasts a few moments, without human intervention, increasing line performance while reducing risks of contamination or mistake.
The level of automation ensures quality and flexibility, particularly when applied in a classified environment.
The line consists, among other equipment, of a denester/detrayer, of a washing machine, of a depyrogenation tunnel, of a bypassable syliconization spraying and baking unit, stoppering, capping and final packaging in Ready to Use nest and tubs.
Key Benefits
The main advantages are:
The Challenge
A primary confectionery industry expressed to Stevanato Group Engineering Systems the need to realize an intelligent transport system to connect several steps of their process. The goods are fragile, with time restraints and thousands of possible product combinations. The line had to be installed in an existing factory already in production, where physical barrier could not be removed.
The solution
Stevanato Group Engineering Systems delivered a fully integrated system, including customized loading and unloading stations, plus over 200 autonomous rovers.
