Medical Device Manufacturing

Medical device manufacturing automation

The need for speed + precision

Speed and precision is critical for automating medical device and life sciences manufacturing. Vue robotic vision software provides industry leading total vision cycle times (object identification and robotic path planning) as low as 0.3 seconds. The software is equally precise to the robot chosen for the task.

For example, Vue is capable of rapidly sorting and singulating the syringes in this bin.

Why Apera AI?

Applications for Vision-Guided Robotics

Robotic precision and speed ensures fewer errors and more productivity.

Here are some examples of what Vue can do:

Feed shiny metal products like surgical instruments into machines, or into packaging.
Assemble reagent testing trays into their translucent cases.
Perform secondary packaging for pharmaceuticals or medical devices.

This can eliminate inflexible bowl feeders, or automation strategies that require frequent operator intervention.

Fast, capable robotic processes with lower risk

Clear and shiny objects

Our technology excels in identification and robotic path planning for clear, translucent, and shiny objects. Think vials, tubes, IV bags and injection molded plastic parts. Even when these objects are disordered or overlapping, our software can see them and guide the robot.

Process capability

Our customers value process capability to avoid errors and build quality into their manufacturing. By using vision with robotics, you can avoid fixtures and hard automation that makes your operations inflexible.

Try a retrofit

Get started with AI-powered vision by considering which robot cell is your biggest headache. With a focused investment in vision, you can try the technology with less risk.
