Precision Revamping for Sterile Glass Vials Packaging Machine
A pharmaceutical plant required a critical machine upgrade for a primary packaging line handling delicate glass vials.
The legacy packaging machine suffered from imprecise pick-and-place movements, causing micro-fractures in the glass and failing rigorous quality inspections.
Furthermore, the system did not meet the modern 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for data traceability.
IEMA US Intervention
- Packaging Machine Retrofit: Installation of advanced Vision Systems for real-time crack detection and assembly verification.
- Mechanical & Electronic Revamping: Upgrade of the vial transport system with brushless motors to ensure ultra-smooth handling and zero-contact transport.
- Software Renewing: Deployment of a specialized SCADA system with electronic signature and audit trail capabilities for pharma compliance.
- Staff Training: Comprehensive technical training for operators on the new digital quality control dashboards
The Results
- Zero-breakage goal achieved during the packaging process, saving thousands of vials per month.
- 30% Reduction in plant downtime thanks to the new “easy-clean” and “quick-changeover” digital recipes.
- Total Traceability: Every batch is now automatically logged with a full audit trail.
- Validated Success: The line successfully passed all regulatory re-certification audits post-intervention.
