In the wave of automation upgrading in the pharmaceutical industry, "cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and compliance" have become the core demands of enterprises. Recently, Xinmian's customized post packaging automation solution for customers has been successfully implemented. The bottle and pillow packaging lines achieve full coverage of automatic packing and palletizing functions, with a high cost-effectiveness design of "1 machine, 3 uses", completely bidding farewell to manual operation and empowering the entire pharmaceutical production process upgrade with technology.

01 Project Background: Focusing on pain points and anchoring the goal of full automation

With the increase of production capacity and the upgrading of compliance requirements, the traditional manual packing and palletizing mode has gradually exposed efficiency bottlenecks and quality risks - not only does it require dedicated personnel to be responsible for palletizing the middle packaging boxes and pallets, but manual recording is prone to errors and difficult to trace, and it is also difficult to meet the industry standards of GMP compliance and audit tracking.

To this end, the customer has set a clear core goal: to create a fully automated production line, achieve one robot for "one machine, three uses", fully replace manual operation, and complete the entire process tracking through dedicated control software, making the packaging process both efficient and compliant.

02 Customized solution: Multi dimensional integration, building a solid automation core

In response to customer production needs, Xinmian Automation provides a customized solution that combines hardware, software, and security. The entire process from equipment selection to system integration is tailored to the actual production scenario

Core Hardware: Efficient Collaboration, Multi purpose Display Capability for One Machine

· Using robots to undertake core tasks such as packaging boxes and centralized palletizing, with flexible configuration, fully replacing manual operations.

· Integrated drug supervision code collection, coding, labeling, and testing functions, synchronized with customized box type cache lines to ensure a smooth and coherent packaging process.

· Build a comprehensive safety protection system that balances production efficiency and personnel safety, meeting the high safety standards of the pharmaceutical industry.

Intelligent control: self-developed system, compliance traceability without blind spots

· Develop communication interfaces with existing WMS systems, paired with PLC S7-1200 control systems, to achieve seamless data flow and avoid information silos.

· Our self-developed industrial control system covers eight modules including user management, production operation, debugging operation, parameter setting, etc. From production start-up to finished product output, it records key data throughout the process to meet audit tracking and GMP compliance requirements.

· Automated recording of information throughout the entire process completely eliminates reliance on manual recording, significantly reduces the risk of data errors, and enables precise traceability of every batch of products.

Implementation advantages: modular design, transforming "zero impact"

Adopting a modular design and installation debugging scheme, targeting the characteristics of online renovation projects, we aim to achieve "zero interference" with existing production facilities during the construction process, ensuring that the project can be quickly implemented without affecting the normal operation of the original production line.

03 Customer Benefits: Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement+Compliance Standards, Multiple Value Implementation

After the project is implemented, there will be a double leap in production efficiency and compliance level, resulting in tangible operational value:

· Significant reduction in personnel costs: Each line reduces the cost of packaging boxes (1 person) and pallet stacking (1 person), completely freeing up labor and reducing management costs.

· Compliance requirements are fully met: fully automated operation+complete audit tracking function, perfectly in line with GMP standards, easily responding to industry supervision.

· Accurate and efficient production traceability: Our self-developed control system enables data recording and tracking throughout the packaging process, making product information traceable and ensuring quality control.

· The exhibition effect is outstanding: the fully automated production process has a high visual presentation, becoming a direct reflection of the enterprise's technological strength and modern production level.

From manual operation to fully automated upgrade, from data ambiguity to precise traceability, Xinmian always puts customer needs at the core and uses customized solutions to help pharmaceutical companies break through production bottlenecks. In the future, we will create more cost-effective solutions that meet the needs of the industry, injecting a continuous stream of technological power into the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical industry.
