Pharma Manufacturing Automation Capabilities

JR Automation’s engineers offer a range of important capabilities to enhance your pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities.

From assembly automation, dispensing, and vision systems to process design, controls engineering, and software integrations, JR Automation’s experienced engineering team has built automation solutions for a variety of pharmaceutical producers. We also provide turnkey models that can be engineered to fit seamlessly with your parts and processes.

Specific to the needs of the pharmaceutical industry, our most relevant medical & life sciences industry capabilities include:

Manufacturing & Assembly Solutions

From material handling, feeding, and dispensing to fill-finish and high volume, our team can help you design a system to lift, push, pull, store, and retrieve components to your specifications.

Additionally, our engineering expertise can not only help you automate device assembly - but often identify ways to simplify your device to make it more effective, less expensive, and easier to produce.

Packaging

What your product is stored in is as important as the product itself. Our team can help you design an automation solution for sterile (or non-sterile) cartoning, labeling, tray loading, palletizing/depalletizing, or other packaging needs.

Inspection & Testing

Modern testing automation improves the efficiency, accuracy, quality, and traceability of your manufacturing processes. JR Automation has integrated electrical inspection testing, dimensional inspection, and hydraulic inspection with a wide range of other applications including 3D laser testing, leak testing, acoustic and vibration testing, UV vision inspection, and lot traceability.

Digital Solutions

JR Automation also offers a full suite of software capabilities that will help you improve your manufacturing operations with supply chain management, warehouse tracking, machine health monitoring, and more.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Automation Process

We don’t have to tell you that it’s paramount for the pharmaceutical industry to maintain exacting standards while accelerating speed to market. You know every day your product isn’t on the market is worth millions in lost revenue. 

Manufacturing Design & Build

Through close partnerships with our customers, we help to design, build, and integrate automation solutions for the manufacturing stage of pharmaceutical production that can proceed quickly, efficiently, and accurately while meeting rigorous safety and FDA-validation standards. With automation and process optimization, your company will experience benefits including:

  • High throughput
  • Increased flexibility
  • Reduced changeover times
  • Quality consistency and improvements
  • Traceability and serialization
  • Digital monitoring and process control
  • Improved sterility
  • Optimized production cost

Quality Control

The high stakes involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing make rigorous quality control (and strict compliance with regulatory frameworks) critical to your business. Every phase of the manufacturing process requires a commitment to quality and the transparency that comes from real-time monitoring via sensors and measurement systems. Moreover, we come alongside your team with a proven process for documentation that encompasses every phase of pharmaceutical development.

Packaging Solutions

Ensuring your product is protected during shipment, and maintains its medicinal quality, relies heavily on your packaging. JR Automation will advise on and develop pharmaceutical packaging solutions that are both cost-effective, safe, and conflict-free in both the primary and secondary packaging.

Primary Packaging

Regardless of the delivery method, JR Automation can develop primary packaging lines that will ensure your product is packaged and labeled properly to protect consumers and ensure traceability. We can engineer custom primary packaging systems, or integrate with existing or third-party solutions.
 

Secondary Packaging

After your pharmaceutical product has received its primary packaging, it likely needs secondary (or even tertiary) packaging that ranges from standard cartons to complex kits. Your product may also require climate control measures in the packaging to guarantee against alteration of the chemical composition during shipping. JR Automation has experience with automation that can help your unique pharmaceutical packaging challenges.

Lifecycle Management Support Services

As your needs inevitably change, JR Automation is your partner beyond the go-live phase as you grow and continue to optimize your product and processes. It’s why we have experienced engineers around the world standing by to respond when you need support.

Product Expertise

We have designed and integrated automation applications that include those requiring ISO cleanroom environments for high-volume manufacturing and products for delivery/drug handling and storage. 

Although we have specific expertise in pharmaceutical manufacturing automation, we draw from a well of deep experience across a wide range of industries from automotive to aerospace to fibers to food & beverage. Our skilled engineers have helped clients design products, source equipment, and plan facilities - seamlessly integrated to ensure your team is following good manufacturing practices, safeguarding consumers, and providing high-quality products. 

We meet hygienic requirements, controlling environmental conditions from the line to the warehouse to prevent cross-contamination, and create a validation process to ensure consistency and compliance with specifications. Our improved traceability means better batch control and recall procedures.

CASE STUDY
Innovation Makes Gender Determination for Poultry Eggs Autmated and Efficient
The challenge was to concept, design, and build a system to extract allantoic fluid from various size poultry eggs for gender assay purposes.  Previously, gender determination was usually accomplished manually by inspection of the young hatchling and was extremely difficult, costly, and sometimes inaccurate.

Technical Capabilities Involed:

  • vision applications
  • software data integration
  • inspection testing
  • dispense applications
