Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry Increasingly Demands Automated Testing Solutions
After the manufacturing processes in pharmaceutical and medical industries reached a high level of automation in recent years, manufacturers are more committed to automating their testing processes as well. Production-related tests as well as tests for product release are to be largely automated. In addition to higher specimen throughput, an increase in reproducibility through the elimination of operator influence is a main objective for manufacturers. Zwick Roell offers various levels of automation for testing syringes, insulin pens, and auto injectors.
