Success Stories

Injection Pen Assembly Line

A flexible and future-proof solution: this pen assembly line was designed to adapt to program changes due to market and production demands.

The challenge

We were tasked by the European site of a prominent international pharma company to design an automatic assembly line that could assemble a cartridge-based pen injector and accommodate future production expansion.

The solution

The linear motion platform BasiQX XTV provided a modular and scalable system for designing a solution for this customer. It represents our dedication to designing products that can provide long-term value to clients by reducing the total cost of ownership and futureproofing their investment.

This line is currently suitable for low-medium volume production (50ppm) of 2 pens with different doses, but the machine could be rapidly scaled up. It was developed with a range of options that support high OEE such as extensive use of automation modules (pick & place units, robots and delta picker robots) and inspection systems (using vision technology and sensors). The modular structure of our systems also enabled us to embed a customized labeling unit.

This project was supported by our in-house capabilities. To help the customer save costs and increase efficiency, we participated in the design of various tray layouts for product loading and unloading to and from the line.
