Manufacturing Enhancement - Automatic Intelligent System for Production and Packaging in Chinese Medicine, Pharmaceutical and Health Food Industries
MAJOR CHALLENGES IN CHINESE MEDICINE, PHARMACEUTICAL AND HEALTH FOOD MANUFACTURING
- The packaging process and appearance need to comply with GMP requirements
- Every significant change in product packaging requires compliance with strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements
- Major challenges are encountered when using commercially available machine, particularly for high-speed packaging that must meet the highly precise and intricate manual packaging procedures
- High level compatibility requirement for fully automatic packaging technology with a wide range of packaging materials of different sizes, shapes, materials and colours
- Severe shortage of packaging labour (due to retirement, lack of labour replacement from the younger generation and unstable availability of part-time labour)
- The high dependence on the labour workforce limits the responsiveness to market needs and expansion of new markets
Service Details:
- Provide intelligent automation system design that complies with GMP production quality management standards
- Retain the traditional packaging and the business image
- Apply modularised design and smart programming – the system can accommodate to different sizes and textures of packaging materials
- Adopt machine vision system to detect conformation and appearance defects in packaged products, packaging bottles, anti-counterfeit labels or instruction sheets as to maintain high quality standards
- Built-in real-time data collection system (production data, equipment data, quality data and energy data) to monitor the performance of automation systems in preparation for the establishment of the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)
- Easy-to-use Human Machine Interface (HMI)
- Adopt industrial robots and other devices for high-speed processing, transportation of various irregular materials and precise allocation of tiny bottles into thermoform packs without disrupting the surrounding area
- Enhance packaging productivity for optimising the operators into other value-added procedures
- Prepare quality certification documents for the system
- Explore relevant funding supports for the development process
- Apply patented technologies/designs in the system
- Track-record of the inventions and values created to the system users:
- increases the productivity per capital by 310%
- increases output per worker by 4.3 times
- reduces packaging labour by 63%
- uplifts productivity per worker by 11 times,
- increases production capacity increased by 100%
- saves labour cost by 91.7% for human resource optimisation to value-added duties
- Won a number of local and international invention awards (Silver Medal of Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions 2022, HKIE MIS Industry Award 2022, Smart Living Partnership Awards 2022, Bronze Medal of 2023 Edison Awards, Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions 2023, and Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2023)
