Precise Dosing and Tempering: Automation for Challenging Processes in Medical Technology

Automation has already gained traction across many markets, driven by the rising shortage of skilled workers and delivering clear benefits to the medical technology sector. At the same time, medical products are becoming increasingly complex, not only in their geometry – such as catheters, pacemakers or stents – but also through the growing integration of electronics, particularly in advanced drug delivery devices such as insulin patch pumps. These systems incorporate sensors and wireless connectivity to interface with digital healthcare platforms. Many of these products are still manufactured manually due to the challenges of automation in highly regulated environments.

In this presentation, you will gain an overview of the requirements for modern dosing, e.g. bonding or potting, as well as tempering, and the benefits of automation. Key parameters such as traceability, repeatability and precise positioning control are highlighted to support the transition from concept development to reliable, high-volume production of complex medical devices.
