Aseptic filling systems designed to eliminate human risk factor in pharmaceutical processing.
October 27, 2022
By: Tim Wright
Editor-in-Chief, Contract Pharma
groninger’s latest machine concept for aseptic filling systems, which completely eliminates the human “risk factor” in pharmaceutical processing and takes into account the latest regulatory requirements of the industry (EU GMP Annex 1), was recently awarded the “Robotic Application of the Year” award. The prize was awarded for the first time this year as part of the ISPE workshop “SIG Future Robotics.” The ISPE (International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering) is the world’s largest non-profit organization in the pharmaceutical industry. It connects members of the pharmaceutical industry and encourages interdisciplinary exchange and knowledge transfer. The jury justified its decision as follows: “On the one hand, the robots increase efficiency, while avoiding manual actions in the sterile production environment.” The built-in robots would take over tasks such as format changes at the push of a button and the automated installation of sterile parts, the jury went on to say: “Secondly, handling, waiting or changing gloves is avoided. And thirdly, the use of robots allows to reduce the size of the sterile room. This shortens decontamination cycles.” The fact that the filtered air flow was optimized in the machine concept so that the sterile filled liquids only come into contact with fresh air (first-air) created enthusiasm. “So far, this is absolutely unique and the robocell demonstrates and implements that for the first time.” The groninger family business has relied on the use of flexible robotic solutions in its systems for many years, and has even developed and patented its own robocell modules. Josef Veile, technical director of groninger & co. gmbh in Crailsheim, where the family business builds its filling and closing lines for the pharmaceutical industry, said, “We have the highest standards when it comes to our robot solutions, but also in terms of their application. They should not only be used to make pharmaceutical processing more efficient, but above all safer.” Jens Groninger, managing partner of groninger, said, “This award confirms that we are on the right path. Together with our partners, we want to continue to actively shape this in the future and continue to set standards in the industry.”
