Automation Solutions for the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Industries

Strict regulations, a shortage of skilled workers, and intense cost pressure. ERT Solutions brings mobile robotics to laboratories and cleanrooms—GMP-compliant, validatable, and traceable.

Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences

Highest standards, limited resources

Pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturing operations are subject to strict regulatory requirements, ranging from GMP to FDA. At the same time, highly qualified staff spend valuable time on routine tasks such as sample transport or material supply. ERT Solutions automates precisely these processes: with minimal particle introduction, fully documented, and securely integrated into existing laboratory and cleanroom infrastructure.

Labor-intensive manual manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical industry and life sciences

01

Regulations leave little room for maneuver

GMP, FDA, and similar regulations require full traceability and contamination-free processes. Every manual interaction poses a potential risk to compliance and product quality.

02

Skilled Workers Tied Down by Routine

Highly qualified staff transport samples, maintain analytical equipment, and perform repetitive handling tasks—time that would be better spent on research and analysis.

03

Automation in cleanrooms is complex

Automation projects should be well thought out. Often, there is no data-driven foundation—validated through simulation—on which to base sound investment decisions.

04

Comprehensive documentation is difficult to implement

Regulatory requirements mandate complete traceability of every material movement. Manual processes make this prone to errors: sample mix-ups or missing entries can have far-reaching consequences.

Autonomous Material Handling in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Typical Applications

Laboratory Automation

mobERT® It autonomously transports sample KLTs and cuvettes between stations without human contamination, around the clock.

KLT / Tote Handling

Loading and unloading of analytical instruments and production lines is fully automated, precise, reproducible, and documented in accordance with GMP.

Smart Buffer Warehouse

The SmartShelf® It acts as a smart buffer between manual and automated processes and ensures that material transfers are carried out safely and in a traceable manner.

Virtual Engineering

Before implementation, we digitally simulate cleanroom layouts and validation scenarios so that customers can be confident about cycle times and compliance even before the project is carried out.
