-
Scalability
The scalable design can be easily ramped up from small batches to large-scale production. Furthermore, it enables technology transfer across different automation levels - from manual to fully automated - reducing validation time. -
Flexibility
Leveraging advanced solutions to process injectable devices, including pen injectors, autoinjectors, inhalers, and on-body delivery systems, we enable customers to process different device formats on the same line. -
Turnkey lines
We can combine assembly, labeling and packaging lines on the same line with a single user-friendly control panel that manages all the processes.
Assembly platforms for every development stage
Stevanato Group offers a comprehensive portfolio of assembly platforms designed to support each phase of the product lifecycle, from process development and pilot production to high-volume manufacturing.
benchtop
Benchtop unit
Manual or semi-automatic assembly of a wide variety of devices. Ideal for small production, it can process from 1 to 4ppm.
- Application: Designed for the device development phase and to analyze process parameters (component processability, required forces, etc.)
- Flexibility: Fixtures are changeable to handle different devices. Inline control features are available upon request.

pilot-line
Pilot lines
Specifically designed for the production of pilot series and small quantities, this line is based on a linear, freely programmable indexing system.
- Application: This line can analyze the production ability of the products and verify optimization points before building a high-volume production line.
- Compliance: It has been designed for production in Cleanroom class 8, compliant with ISO14644.

linear
Linear platforms
Flexible platforms based on a linear transport system, designed to support complex assembly tasks from small to high-volume production. Stevanato Group’s linear platforms are scalable up to 160 ppm and can be configured for sub-assembly and final assembly of different drug delivery devices, including pen injectors, autoinjectors, inhalers, and wearable devices.
Available with vertical or horizontal motion, the platform can be adapted to different production layouts, flow schemes, and automation levels. Manual workstations can also be integrated when required, helping customers balance automation, flexibility, and process control.
Built on a modular architecture, linear platforms support multiple applications, device formats, and future capacity needs within a common platform concept. This helps reduce dependence on uncertain demand forecasts while enabling efficient scale-up, technology transfer, and long-term production flexibility.
Key features of linear platforms
- Efficiency - individual carrier control helps optimize acceleration, braking, positioning, and synchronization according to the operations cycle time, reducing line length as well as investment and operating costs.
- Scalability - modular design allows production lines to match current needs and Capex requirements, while supporting future volume ramp-up.
- Flexibility - The platform can handle components with different sizes and shapes, enabling multiple programs and shorter lead times on the same machine.
- Compact footprint - Precise carrier control helps optimize line processes such as vision inspection, printing, and labeling, reducing the need for additional stations.
- Sustainability - The transport system reduces dust, abrasion, and contamination risks compared to belt or chain conveyors. It is quiet, low-maintenance, and suitable for cleanroom environments.
