Automation in numbers
Assembly platforms for flexibility and scalability
Having worked in the high-stakes world of injectable drug delivery devices, we know that the smallest variations can compromise quality, productivity, as well as final product delivery. That’s why our assembly and final assembly equipment are built on our proven assembly systems – trusted to deliver over 140 million autoinjectors to patients each year.
From pilot builds to high-speed commercial production, SHL Advantec’s assembly equipment ensures consistent quality, streamlined validation, and flexibility to adapt to evolving product requirements.
Testing systems integrating reliability and sustainability
Ranging from base equipment units compatible with commercially available testing machines, to standalone, fully automated testing stations that can be adapted to multiple device variations, our modular testing machines are designed to match any testing needs – whether for early-stage product development or high-throughput batch release testing.
As pioneers in autoinjector testing automation, we also continue to lead with innovations like our container-free test method, a breakthrough technology that supports the reduction of costs and carbon emissions from preparing and shipping the primary containers.
