Safer, better and faster production through automation

Collaborative robotics is bringing the next wave of automation to the pharmaceutical industry. This is an industry that demands precision and adherence to strict safety standards. Thankfully, precise, accurate actions are exactly the forte of today’s automation solutions. But unlike those of the previous decades, today’s collaborative automation solutions are smart and safe to work around. Common processes such as loading, palletizing, depalletizing, and product inspection can all be automated with relative ease thanks to modern robotics. Collaborative robots (cobots) in particular are an attractive option because their focus on safety allow them to be operated in the vicinity of people – or even work directly with them. This breaks down the barrier between man and machine and allows for greater efficiencies on the floor. Easy to program and reprogram, a collaborative robot can be moved from line to line with little difficulty and repurposed for a new task with ease, making any pharmaceutical factory more agile and adaptive.
