Automation Solutions for Medical Technology

Highly varied production, strict documentation requirements, and intense cost pressure. ERT Solutions automates assembly and intralogistics in medical device manufacturing environments—precisely, with full traceability, and flexibly as product variants change.

Medical Technology

High variability, manual assembly stations

Medical device manufacturers produce in small batches with many variants and strict documentation requirements. Manual assembly stations are the norm, experienced employees are hard to replace, and changeovers cost valuable production time. ERT Solutions integrates mobile manipulators directly into assembly and logistics without altering the existing production structure.

High expenses due to manual tasks in the medical technology industry

01

Manual assembly limits throughput

Repetitive assembly steps rely on experienced employees, who can become a bottleneck in the production process.

02

Documentation requirements tie up resources

As in many industries, regulatory requirements mandate complete traceability of every component. Manual documentation is prone to errors and takes time that is not available in the production process.

03

Frequent changeovers reduce efficiency

Changing product variants require regular changeovers. Every interruption reduces throughput and ties up skilled personnel in tasks that could be automated.

04

Cost Pressure Due to Manual Manufacturing

Labor-intensive assembly operations are costly. Without automation, cost pressures increase and there is a risk of losing competitiveness.

NEXTAGE Robots in the Medical Technology Industry

Typical Applications

Assembly Automation

NEXTAGE Handles repetitive part-handling steps directly at the assembly cell, consistently and without fatigue, even when product variants change.

Central Orchestration

ERTmiral® Manages orders centrally and transparently in conjunction with MES, WMS, schedulers, etc., to ensure smooth processes and maximum efficiency.

Material Resupply Using Mobile Manipulators

Workstations are automatically and promptly supplied by mobERTs supplied with materials. Employees focus on the actual assembly, not on transport routes.

Quality Assurance

The VISIONSCANNER uses camera-based inspection to check components directly during the process. Defects are detected before they reach the next station.

Consistent quality in repetitive assembly steps

Our robotics solutions deliver consistent precision even at high repeat rates.

02

Quick changeover when switching between variants

Mobile robots can quickly and flexibly adapt to new product variants.

03

Complete traceability

ERTmiral® automatically tracks batch data and material movements. Track & Trace and UDI labeling are seamlessly integrated into the process.

04

Greater Competitiveness

By automating manual tasks in a flexible way, you allow your skilled employees to focus on value-added activities and increase efficiency.

05

Scalable without a linear increase in staff

As sales increase, modular components can be easily scaled up without each new unit requiring additional staff.

06

Easy Integration

Mobile manipulators integrate into existing manufacturing structures. The core process remains largely unchanged; automation is simply added to it.
