Support for diverse container types 

Our solutions are engineered to handle a wide variety of formats including vials, syringes, ampoules, and cartridges. 

We start with your specific container type and match it with the right machines and technologies to maintain product quality and keep production running efficiently. This container-agnostic approach simplifies format changes and ensures each system is configured precisely for your production needs.

Seamless integration and scalable inspection

Our ecosystem integrates seamlessly into your production line, supporting your entire process from start to finish:

  • Upstream: Pre-inspection steps like filling and lyophilization.
  • Core Inspection: Automated, semi-automated, or laboratory inspection and handling systems.
  • Downstream: Post-inspection processes, including product aggregation and secondary packaging.

The solution also connects with IT and operational systems, supporting MES, LIMS, and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data capture. This enables smooth scaling from small lab setups to full production while keeping costs under control.
