Products
Automatic capsule filling and sealing machine (single-serve formats)
Fully automatic filling and closing machine family for single-serve capsule containers with modular filling/sealing units, dosing for powder/soluble/liquid, thermal sealing options and camera inspection for lid inspection and rejection.
Automatic capsule unscrambler and sorter
Automatic unscrambler machine to rearrange capsules onto production rows for correct feeding to filling machines; compact footprint and fast format change.
Cartoner and wrap-around case packer line with pick-and-place feeding
Integrated final packaging line for capsules including intermittent cartoner and wrap-around case packer, multi-format box handling, statistical IPC and pick-and-place feeding for multi-layer cases.
Mechanical ventilator based on AMBU automation (assist-control and pressure-support)
A compact ventilator system that automates a manual AMBU bag into an assist-control and pressure-support ventilator, with flow and pressure sensors, monitored respiratory parameters, touchscreen interface, battery autonomy and data transfer capabilities.
AI-based wound assessment and monitoring device (image-processing software and cloud)
A medical device composed of neural-network image processing software and a cloud platform to automatically segment wound tissue, classify ulcers, compute area/volume/depth and track evolution for clinical documentation and alerts.
