RNA Automation Ltd has announced the launch of its latest innovation for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry: the FlexType™ P Pack. This state-of-the-art automated packing system brings unprecedented flexibility and efficiency to pharmaceutical operations across the UK.

A Smarter Way to Pack Pharmaceuticals

The FlexType™ P Pack is an intelligent, robotic packing system engineered to handle a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical components, from delicate vials and capsules to bottle caps, with both precision and speed.

Unlike traditional, rigid packing machinery, this new plug-and-play platform delivers a smooth, fully automated process powered by the latest in robotic and vision technology:

• Gentle Feeding: Bulk components are placed onto a flexible feeder system, such as the FlexCube™, which delicately arranges parts without risk of damage.
• Vision-Guided Accuracy: A high-definition camera identifies each component's position and orientation, directing a 6-axis robot with pinpoint precision.
• Rapid Packing: Equipped with tailored grippers, the robot swiftly transfers components into a bagging system before final boxing and storage.

Designed for Today's Fast-Changing Pharma Market

Built with flexibility at its core, the FlexType™ P Pack allows manufacturers to adapt quickly to changing production demands.

• Ultra-Fast Changeovers: Switch between different product types in under two minutes, from over-the-counter tablets to specialised injectables, dramatically reducing downtime and boosting throughput.
• Compliance and Care: The gentle handling process ensures full compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, minimising risk of contamination or damage.
• Seamless Integration: Compatible with existing production lines and common industrial robots (including ABB models), the system offers quick installation and minimal disruption to operations.

Scalable, Sustainable, and Future-Ready

Designed for both large-scale manufacturers and growing operations, the FlexType™ P Pack combines ease of setup with long-term adaptability, making it a cost-effective investment for companies focused on scalability and sustainability.

Matt Hallifax, Sales Manager at RNA Automation, highlights the system's impact: "The FlexType™ P Pack is a big step forward for pharmaceutical packing. Its simple, precise, and flexible design empowers manufacturers to meet today's challenges while preparing for tomorrow's demands."

By optimising part handling and minimising waste, the FlexType™ P Pack delivers a sustainable solution for an industry increasingly driven by flexibility, efficiency, and smart automation.
