VMI has brought its 30 years of experience in designing highly automated machines to develop what we believe is probably the most advanced and high performing pouch-based medicines packing system in the world. INDIVION produces up to 10,000 pouches per hour, with an average dispensing accuracy better than 99.97%. The number of pouches that need rework is extremely low when compared with most other machines, with very little risk of cross contamination.
The need for greater speed and efficiency is seen across the entire pharmaceutical industry. Whether you run a Central Fill Pharmacy, a larger retail or hospital pharmacy, you are facing the same challenges: more items to pack, more services to deliver, stricter quality measures to satisfy, better data protection and stricter regulations.
For the increasing number of high-volume automated dose packaging hubs, a much higher level of efficiency is needed. We believe automated pouch packaging will be a key part of the solution to these urgent needs.
VMI has chosen a proven industrial robot for all canister handling in the VMI INDIVION which builds on VMI’s experience in other markets. In the last few decades, robot technology has matured to very high levels of reliability and durability. VMI, as an innovative developer of process automation solutions, partners with all leading robot technology suppliers and can select the best, based on our experience, over many decades.
Canisters are stored and positioned on both the table and in the doors. The robot puts the smart canisters on the correct docking stations for release.
Below the table are 72 specially designed hoppers, collecting medication for each single pouch. The design of INDIVION reduces the danger of tablets entering the wrong pouch or of being damaged, due to a maximum dropping height of only 21 cm (8 inch).
The VMI INDIVION can easily be operated by one single operator, and integrates naturally with other components and machines in a large-scale industrial solution.
