Pharmaceutical Cobot for Moulding and Packing

Challenge
A pharmaceutical facility required automation to remove plastic moulded components from an existing machine and organise them onto boxes. The system needed to maintain strict reliability and compliance standards while integrating seamlessly with existing plant equipment.

Solution
We delivered a tailored robotic automation solution to meet these requirements:

  • Cobot: 5-axis Universal Robot for precise, repeatable component handling.

  • PLC: Allen Bradley CompactLogix for robust control and integration.

  • Remote I/O: Allen Bradley Point I/O for flexible, distributed connectivity.

  • Servo Drives: 4x Kinetix 5500 servo drives for accurate motion control.

  • Integration: Fully incorporated into existing plant machinery without disrupting ongoing operations.

Results

  • Reliable, automated removal and palletising of moulded components.

  • Consistent, repeatable operation reducing manual handling and operator fatigue.

  • Seamless integration with existing production equipment, avoiding downtime or reconfiguration.

  • Compliance with pharmaceutical industry standards for precision and reliability.

Our Role
We handled PLC programming, cobot integration, drive configuration, and full system integration into the existing facility. Our expertise ensured the solution met the high standards required in pharmaceutical manufacturing while enhancing efficiency and safety.
