Start building your factory of the future with Vision Robot Unit (VRU)
Stevanato Group is excited to present a modular, robotic, proof-of-concept system for inspecting parenterals. By employing artificial intelligence principles and applying the technology to the inspection task, we engineered the Vision Robot Unit (VRU).
The VRU is a reliable, autonomous island machine, capable of fully automated inspection (cosmetic and particles) without human intervention.
The concept
Island design Modular plug and play concept at component and module level
Modularity Freely configurable infeed and outfeed: from/to nest & tub, tray or bulk configurations
Scalability Vision units can be added to increase final output

Ultimately the VRU’s Artificial Intelligence allows the system to become:
Reactive Inspection reacts to changing product characteristics during each batch run
Adaptive Continuous learning from production and operators; re-training of new defects; false-reject reduction by re-training of false positive
Applications

Monoclonal antibodies
Vaccines
High-value products
Lyophilized drugs
Laboratory use
Early clinical study supply
Media fill
Reclassification of false-positives for lyo

Plus Microvials
The PLUS equipment for micro vials is a compact, fully automatic inspection machine designed to spot even the smallest defects in the smallest glass primary packaging.
Tracking the particle trajectories can be challenging, due to the low drug volume the micro vials contain. Different stations for particles and cosmetic inspection ensure a comprehensive and effective inspection rate up to 300pcs/min.

Container integrity is a primary driver for our continual investment in developing new and innovative solutions; and smooth container handling is especially important when inspecting micro vials.
Drawing on our team’s expertise, we designed new mechanical solutions, such as clip wheels and clip belts, that provide additional protection during transportation. The clip belt is design for fast and easy format changes and the possibility to re-inspect gray items.
Furthermore, we use electromechanical devices instead of vacuums to eject bad items for improved reliability and fewer machine stoppages. Watch the video to learn more.
