New Technologies for Fill-Finish Streamline Operations

Abstract

A report from Future Market Insights attributes the anticipated growth rate to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis along with increasing demand for point-ofcare devices where prefilled, needlefree injectors are most preferred (1). Container features To address rising demand for readyto-use (RTU) containers, DWK Life Sciences has developed the Workflow Solutions portfolio of glass and plastic containers, with Solutions Packs for research and for production (2). According to the company, this design also allows a syringe size that is significantly smaller than recent dual-chamber syringes, which makes it easy to administer and lessens patient needle phobia. Because the syringe is returned to the container immediately after administration and extra supplies are not needed, waste is reduced and disposal is safer. AR can identify the correct part and part number, zoom in, offer different views, present the virtual view next to the actual machine, and provide visual instructions for the operator or maintenance person, eliminating the need to search through paper-based standard operating procedures.
