THE TECHNICON TUB INFEED & OUTFEED ROBOTIC SOLUTION

Especially within the Life Science industry, the ongoing processes related to the repetitive daily infeed and outfeed of akylux boxes and TUBs are key necessary requirement to ensure a stable and effective production flow.

In the infeed process; depalletizing, opening, and unpacking of akylux boxes and TUBs must be done systematically. The same goes for the outfeed process. In many cases the packaging and palletizing of akylux boxes with TUBs are done manually. Such manual tasks are both monotonous, time-consuming and costly.

A further challenge; akylux boxes come on varying sizes and are often stacked differently. This increases the risks of frequent production instability and bottlenecks and requires constant attention and smooth handling.

But human resources can be used more effectively and additionally; human operators are THE biggest source of contamination in clean room environments, enhancing production risks.

With The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution we offer a no-touch transfer.

The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution is an advanced and innovative fully automated modular robot solution designed and developed to 24/7/365 Life Science production set up: for inspection lines as well as for filling lines.

Due to its modularity, it can be reconfigured to fit into any factory layout. This modularity makes it a highly innovative robotic solution optimal, adding flexibility, scalability and value to the Life Science industry.

The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution has successfully been implemented in globally leading Life Science companies with an ROI of less than 2 years.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW

The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution consists of two modules – 1) the TUB infeed and 2) the TUB outfeed module. The two modules can operate both separately and in close cooperation.

World class Stäubli robots effectively handles akylux boxes and TUBs in both units. The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution is designed for CNC level and can be upgraded to C level.

It can handle TUBs for filling lines as well as for inspection lines. It can be configured in accordance with changes in pharmaceutical production processes.

Thereby The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution strengthen both stability, quality, effectiveness, traceability and flexibility in any pharmaceutical process.

Due to its efficiency, due to its reduction of manual production cost and due to its enhancement of process quality in every step of the entire TUB in- and-out feeding handling process; the fully automated Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution provides substantial economic benefits to any Life Science production process handling TUBs.

The Infeed as well as the Outfeed Module have identical glass surfaces and both units are installed with a movable HMI adding further flexibility and user-friendliness to the in- and outfeed process.

Both in terms of making resources redundant and in terms of improving filling line infeed stability; the OEE of the filling line is increased by up to 10%. This generates a very high return on assets.

SOLUTION BENEFITS

The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution is highly tolerant to a

Variety of materials
Variety of formats
Variety in workflow

The configuration for various production set ups can vary significantly. Due to the flexibility and customization, the solution can be applied across the Life Science industry making the solution highly attractive for any infeed and outfeed process.

Among the various benefits The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution automatically stack empty akylux boxes into pallet boxes. This automatic waste handling feature ensures that each akylux box can be recycled, thus improving the degree of sustainability in the pharma industry.

The fully automated solution frees up human resources, reduces costs and recruitment challenges, increases efficiency and improves process quality in every step of the entire TUB in- and-out feeding handling process.

Additionally; The Technicon TUB Infeed & Outfeed Robotic Solution improves data collection, enhancing production control.

The solution is easy to clean.
