In Pharma, Standards and Regulations, Rule

– The Importance of Strict Adherence to Standards When Delivering Industrial Material Handling Equipment

First of all, delivering pharmaceutical handling equipment to the pharma industry means understanding the importance of compliance to standards.

We know this, and we know that there is no way around it. If an audit is failed due the lack of industry compliance, the problems and cost involved are more than significant.

Accommodating the Challenging Interplay of Hygienic Clothing and Handling Machines …  Ergo, Ergonomics

Hygienic and stainless steel design for clean-rooms is obviously required for many pharma equipments.

But apart from designing our solutions so they comply with the standards required for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and cleanrooms, our understanding of the industry allows us to understand the ergonomics involved when having to operate industrial material handling equipment in a clean-room environment.

Wearing hygienic safety equipment such as cleanroom coveralls / gown, Latex / PVC / Nitrile gloves, glasses, plastic bags over shoes or rubber booties etc. can make manual handling cumbersome and uncomfortable.

We know this and take it into account when designing our pharma handling equipment. For instance the user interface is designed such that it accommodates gloved hands. We design the buttons on our remote control so that they are easy to feel through the glove and do not pinch the glove material.

In a world which involves improving people’s health through one’s products, the pharmaceutical industry often goes above and beyond the standard safety requirements, when it comes to protecting its employees. As a company, we do the same and build this way of thinking into all our products.
