Clinical Trial Automation

Creating a more agile and responsive supply chain.

Manufacturing medicines for clinical trials is a significant investment for drug manufacturers. Despite this, pharmaceutical companies are over-producing due to inherent uncertainty in the medicines development process, leading to wasted time, resources, and delays.

Clinical trial automation is poised to transform the supply chain of the future by driving innovation, ensuring regulatory compliance and maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality. By enabling manufacturing plants to respond dynamically to actual demand and connect seamlessly with real-time supply chains, this technology paves the way for greater efficiency, adaptability and precision within the pharmaceutical industry.

Specialist support from Sewtec Automation

Sewtec Automation invents, designs, manufactures and installs tablet packaging and labelling lines for the clinical trial drugs industry. Our systems can significantly enhance your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), which boosts the production rate and quality of your processes.

Thanks to our experience, we can develop a turnkey solution to meet any requirement. Our aim is to automate your process in the best way possible. Our in-house precision engineering capabilities allow you to benefit from that all-important peace of mind. We can help you to transform your manufacturing processes and continuously optimise your systems over their full lifespan.

We can help your business to adhere to the following standards:

The Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations enforced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
ISO Clean room environments

The in-depth knowledge we have of serialisation also allows us to aid the traceability of your products through the supply chain. This enables you to comply with the following:

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) mandatory Unique Device Identifiers (UDI) regulations
The new EU Medical Device Regulations (MDR) 2017/745.

Our ergonomic, stainless steel machinery can also be supplied to meet the required ISO Cleanroom Classification.

Clinical trial automation capabilities

We are fully committed to creating unique automation systems which perform a range of clinical trial packaging and labelling processes. Our commitment to manufacturing innovation ensures your clinical trial automation system helps you to get the very best from your production lines.

Product handling

The careful handling of medicines and drugs intended for human use is essential. Our handling capabilities guarantee that packaged drugs and medicines move seamlessly through each stage of the packaging process.

Dose control

Our precise dose control capabilities ensure that the correct volume of any drug is processed efficiently and at high speed. This applies to any dosage form your production line handles.

UID Labelling

Pharmaceutical labelling is a vital part of the manufacturing process. Our automated lines print labels, scan for accuracy, and only apply if correct. This guarantees that your products are accurately and carefully labelled. We also have extensive experience in developing solutions for applying tamper-evident labels with UID codes to various parts of pharmaceutical products, enhancing their security.

Track and trace

Our track and trace systems are essential for ensuring that your medicine can be traced back to a specific point in the supply chain. The rapid and precise application of unique identifier codes supports the accuracy and traceability of each process executed on the line.

Research & development (R&D)

With our in-house engineering expertise, we can evaluate and advise on how suitable your product design is for process automation. From selecting the appropriate packaging type to refining its design, we collaborate with you to develop a product that is fully prepared for Design For Automation (DFA).
