The line, which is a model of how to serialize pill containers packaged directly in cases without first putting them into cartons, comprises a rotary labeller model RE 302 and a top-loading casepacker model MCPV 850; both machines have their own traceability system that continuously monitors the products throughout the entire packaging process.
This line has special camera vision systems, installed on the vial labeller and on the casepacker, which monitor the products from the initial coding phase of the individual bare vials, through to the palletization phase of the filled and sealed cases. The machines operate with “Fail Safe” logic to ensure zero errors.
Let’s take a look at the details. Automatic rotary labeller RE 302 1T The vials infed from the machine upstream are already filled and capped and are transferred onto a conveyance system made up of two vertical belts with adjustable opening width on the inlet of the labelling machine; these belts hold the vials by their sides while an inkjet marker prints a unique 2D service code on their bottom, which is also verified immediately by the first camera.
On the inlet of the main vial carousel, the second camera acquires the 2D service code printed previously on the bottom and sends the start signal to the shift register, which acquires the position of each vial on the carousel.
The label, still on its film, is printed by the labelling unit and the unique 2D code is verified immediately by the third camera. The code comprises a product identification code, batch number, expiry date, unique serialized number and all these data repeated also in readable digits. The camera grades the print quality of the serialized 2D code and scans the readable digits with an OCR/OCV system. The fourth optional camera reads the Pharmacode on the labels to identify them accordingly.
Subsequently, once the label has been applied on the vial, the fifth camera scans its unique serialized 2D code and, by means of the afore-mentioned shift register, associates it with the unique 2D service code printed on the bottom. This operation is ensured thanks to the fact that the machine is able to turn the vial conveyance devices so that the 2D code on the previously applied label appears in front of the camera lens: this is an essential feature of the RE machine series. Each unique serialized code printed on the label, graded and correctly applied, is consequently associated with the service code, printed on the bottom of the containers: by matching the two 2D codes, it possible to trace the vials in the casepacker downstream. Top-loading casepacker MCPV850 All the compliant vials outlet from the RE302 1T continue through to the infeed into the casepacker MCPV 850. Here, they are grouped into layers on a glass surface where the control station is located, with the sixth camera; this unit simultaneously reads all the unique 2D service codes printed on the bottom of the containers of each layer. The unique 2D service codes provide an exact match with the unique serialized 2D codes associated with them on each vial so that they can be acquired. A pick & place unit picks up the layers of containers and places them inside the case, which is subsequently sealed with adhesive tape. At this stage, the full and exact identification of the vials inside each case is known. A label is then applied on the corner of each case, on which a unique serialized code is printed in real time, which is associated with all the unique serialized codes of the vials inside the case. The seventh camera verifies this code printed on the label of the case. This operation starts the aggregation of the individual products inside the cases.
To end, each compliant case is picked up by the pick-up arm of the Gigacombi unit, which places it on the pallet according to the pattern set and saved on the machine’s PC.
At this stage, the aggregation of the individual cases on the pallet continues, applying another label on the corner, which is verified by another camera, and on which a unique code will be printed in real time that is associated with all the unique codes of the labels of the cases. Other benefits of the line: machines ready to win every challenge This line is able to win the demands of the marketplace by integrating traceability systems right along the whole production process, as explained above, but also thanks to the use of groundbreaking machines. All the machinery involved is reliable, flexible and user friendly. The labeller RE302 does indeed not only have the “track and trace” system but it guarantees all the advantages of the Neri RE range of machines: meaning that they are all totally accessible and the entire production process is perfectly visible; size changeover is quick and straightforward thanks to special digital indicators; label application is precise and any non-compliant products are rejected automatically. Other bonuses are versatility and speed: the line is able to process an extensive range of containers with round or rectangular bottoms and is able to process up to 200 containers a minute.
What makes the top-loading casepacker so versatile and reliable, on the other hand, are the robotic solutions that Marchesini has developed for the end-of-line part: the Pick & Place head that places the vials in the case and the Gigacombi, a custom-built robot for the palletization zone. Conclusions Thanks to the special serialization solutions exploited, from start to finish, and to the winning features of the machines making up the line, it has everything it takes to become greatly successful on the pharmaceutical marketplace: a market that now strongly demands ever-reliable and efficient tamperproof systems.]]> Product news News Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:12:00 +0200 http://www.marchesini.com/news-events/news/news-detail/marchesini-group-at-the-pda-annual-meeting/dc9e97dfe3f77a14d4c2448bbcd103c6/ More info for the event registration.

Still solidly maintaining these winning features, a new MF910mini is now available on the marketplace with even more improvements to the three main aspects: ease-of-access and ergonomics, appeal and safety.
Let’s take a detailed look at what the Research and Development department of Marchesini Group has been working on, always focusing on the needs of customers, what they want and what they suggest.
New and completely openable hatched panels to make it even easier and quicker to change the reel under the machine: the sliding doors of the previous model required some effort by the operator and this barrier has now been knocked down, resulting in two immediate benefits: the job takes less time and production rates are increased thanks to reduced stoppages.
In terms of production, it is a known fact that short machine downtimes are immediately synonymous with a rise in production rates and a reduction in costs.
The new guards have other benefits too: not only do they obviously blend-in smoother with the other Marchesini machines to which the MF is connected inline, but also the visibility and transparency of the productive flow is better. The operator can indeed monitor the products being wrapped and intervene with ease, if necessary.
In addition, a containment surface has been added at the bottom of the machine, which makes it even handier to clean and remove any leftovers. The main aim of this feature is to improve compliance with the strict cGMP standards even further.
New integral guards have also been installed around the bundle outlet zone, to completely isolate the products from the outside and to avoid all forms of contact, even accidental, with the side sealing bars.
Again, speaking of the panelling, the machine’s cover can now be raised so that operators can move around more comfortably and more safely. 
This new MF910mini also offers a wide choice of options, among which is a useful reel trimming system that enables the customer to use just one reel for different sizes, without having to keep a specific one for each size. The benefit of this is obvious: lower costs, fewer reel changes and smaller storage space for production material. The cutter that trims the material defines the wrapping width without producing waste: the excess film is indeed left wrapped around the reel itself. A reel centring system, which can be setup from the PC, makes the production process simple to manage without operators having to make time-consuming and costly adjustments. 
Another bonus of this machine model is definitely the possibility to purchase “size” kits.
Two types have been developed: the Universal size kit and the Adjustable size kit. By choosing one of these two sets, customers have the possibility to treat the whole range of sizes processable in-house and decide, at any time, to set a certain size without delays.
Management simplicity, streamlined and safe cleaning procedures, fast size change-overs and strong focus on ergonomics: these are the winning features that have been added to the already renowned bonuses, which make the MF910mini a truly perfect machine for perfect bundles. ]]> Product news News Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:05:00 +0100 http://www.marchesini.com/news-events/news/news-detail/the-framework-agreement-is-consigned-to-suppliers/a951473a4cd02d56497d6678bda82151/ The Marchesini Group has always worked alongside reliable and qualified suppliers with whom it has... Marchesini Group has always worked alongside reliable and qualified suppliers with whom it has established, year after year, trustworthy business relationships in the name of utmost transparency. With these objectives in mind, a meeting was held in Pianoro at the group’s headquarters, during which the framework agreement was handed over to suppliers contracted to carry out mechanical processes for the company. This agreement extends the purchase conditions already defined in orders and published on Marchesini’s website. Rita Tunioli, Director of the Logistics and Purchasing department of the Marchesini Group explains: “This framework agreement states and confirms the “assignment rules”, the rules for reading drawings, those for consignments, packaging and so forth, plus the topic of special processes is dealt with too, which involves anything that is not standard. With regard to pieces that in some way come into contact with the customer’s active product, certain suffixes are indeed added to the drawings so that workers are able to pay special attention to them immediately”. Suppliers have therefore been given the technical specifications related to the various special processes currently envisaged so that everyone involved is able to proceed in a certain manner and so that it is possible to trace the material and pay the attention required to handle the piece using the appropriate uncontaminated tools. To conclude, in 2013, Marchesini will start an auditing process c/o the suppliers’ facilities.]]> News Generic News Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:56:00 +0100
