HANDLING WHAT MATTERS
The syringes your people still sort.
Automated.
Speed Bin Picking takes loose, transparent syringes from bulk and places them into trays. 3D vision and AI find each part in the pile. Breakage-free and fully GMP-compliant.
Any
lighting condition, transparent parts included
Every
pick monitored and documented

Your line runs by itself.
Its syringes are sorted by hand.
Out of the transport box, into the tray, one syringe at a time, before the next step can start. Every box, every shift.

PICKING
Transport box › 3D vision + AI › Picking arms › Tray
3D vision and AI locate each syringe in the pile. The picking arms take them out one by one and fill several trays at once. Tactile sensors keep every grip gentle.
TRAY HANDLING
Empty tray › Tray robot › Outfeed
A second robot sets empty trays next to the picking arms and moves full trays to the outfeed. Operators load boxes and trays and take the full stacks away.
Transparent parts, found.
Every pick, on record.
Any
lighting condition.
Standard cameras struggle with transparent parts. 3D vision and AI detect syringes in a disorganized pile, under any lighting condition.
Every
pick monitored and documented.
Real-time monitoring and documentation of every single pick give you full traceability, with a minimal human in the loop.

FAQ
Questions
we get asked.
What comes up in first calls, answered short.
The long answers we bring to the meeting.
Which parts can the cell pick?
Loose syringes and other transparent components from bulk. 3D vision and AI locate each part regardless of lighting, tactile sensors protect fragile parts.
How do I add a new product?
Via a simple teach-in. No coding is needed.
Does it work for small batches?
Yes. The modular cell is built for high-mix, low-volume production with frequent product changes.
Is every pick documented?
Yes. Each pick is monitored and documented in real time for full traceability.
How is the cell qualified?
FAT at ESSERT, SAT on site. Risk assessment, SISTEMA calculation and the full documentation set arrive in English two weeks before FAT.
Where is it in operation?
At Vetter Pharma. There the cell sorts loose syringes from transport boxes into trays. Output depends on your parts and target format, we size the cell in the proposal.
Which target formats are possible?
Trays today. According to Vetter, the system can also be used for other formats with similar sorting steps, such as nests.
