Process Automation and Robotics for pharmaceutical or biotechnolocial productions

Your factory of the future becomes reality with Glatt solutions. A fully functioning overall system in YOUR pharmaceutical or biotechnolocial production process by Glatt Process & Plant Engineering. Your production facility must be ONE system and not a series of individual machines. Challenge us as system integrator from A to Z from concept engineering up to fully system integration on site.

We ensure a fully functioning overall system.

In the fast-moving world of pharmaceutical and biotechnological production, automation and robotics are no longer optional – they’re essential. As a system integrator, we accompany you on the transition to the factory of the future. We specialize in integrating hardware and software functions into advanced holistic automation systems, which range from MES and DCS/SCADA systems to robot and AGV systems. We develop the best solution for your company and your project. Your process receives the suitable level of automation. Your company is thus equipped for the challenges of the future.

We support your production processes with:

  • a high level of digitalization and automation from incoming raw materials to outgoing goods
  • a consistent technical solution across all automation levels
  • an optimal configuration of the systems and their interfaces
  • an optimal interface between process and building automation systems


We do not engineer machines, we create the system for your process.

Our range of services includes:

  • automation and digitalization of process systems
  • integrated design and execution
  • integrated equipment management
  • systems QR codes
  • RFID technology for container monitoring
  • assistance systems for operation and maintenance
  • operator guidance and coordination
  • assistance systems for production monitoring
  • optimization of process sequences through the use of inline measurement technology.

This also includes the analysis and comparison of systems with regard to functionalities, properties, communication/interfaces, investment and operating costs.


Reduced resources for routine activities

Glatt robotic solutions – patent protection announced – for OSD production is complex, innovative and modular. Successfully tested in practice.

We have completely redesigned the use of robots in pharmaceutical production, especially for solid forms, arranging your process stations in such a way that the robot system can optimally serve the various stations and using our robot solution to replace your complex vertical and horizontal handling techniques.

We scale the technical implementation according to your requirements. We automate your process from the laboratory for individual medicine to the factory for mass production or enable of cost-effective small batch sizes for individualized medicine.

Our range of already fully automated handling functions includes, among others:

  • picking up, dispensing, positioning and identifying containers
  • dosing and weighing of raw and/or intermediate products or bulk goods
  • sieving and mixing raw and/or intermediate products or bulk goods
  • dispensing raw and/or intermediate products or bulk goods
  • in-process control

Other possible areas of application include:

  • various laboratory processes
  • processes in the field of vaccine production
  • manufacturing processes in the field of personalized medicine


Glatt robotics – the way from traditional production to automized production flow controlling

In addition to the automation of processes, our planning focuses on the digitalization and networking of processes and systems. We think from the customer’s perspective and support you right from the concept stage. You benefit from optimized and digitalized manufacturing and approval processes. Traditional manual activities, like batch reviews, are automated wherever possible. Time-consuming or error-prone processes are left to the robot systems. You reduce resources for routine activities. The production of very small batch sizes is cost-effective and paves the way towards individualized medicine.

Benefit from all these advantages for your factory of the future:

  • high reproducibility of processes
  • complete control of the processes, containers and therefore the input materials
  • tracking of all sub-steps and containers
  • automated review-by-exception
  • shorter transfer times
  • reduced space requirement
  • humanless operation
  • modularity and expandability in all areas
  • cost-effective individualized medicine
