Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences

Pharmaceutical and life science manufacturing operates under strict regulatory oversight — FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 1, and USP standards all impose requirements on process sensors, documentation, and equipment qualification. Sensors used in fill-finish, lyophilisation, and packaging areas must be cleanroom compatible, traceable, and capable of surviving vaporised hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilisation cycles.

Applications & Use Cases

Contrinex Smart Measurement Contrinex Smart Measurement
01
Vial fill level and stopper seating verification

Contrinex smart measurement sensors confirm fill volume by measuring liquid surface position in vials before lyophilisation, and check stopper seating depth after stoppering.

Pantron ISM Series Pantron ISM Series
02
Blister pack cavity presence before sealing

Pantron ISM multiplexed photoelectric systems inspect all blister cavities for tablet presence across the full width of the blister web before the heat-seal station.

Contrinex RFID Contrinex RFID
03
Serialisation label application confirmation

Contrinex RFID read/write systems confirm that each carton has received and encoded a serialisation label before it advances to case packing.

Schmersal Safety Schmersal Safety
04
Autoclave and steriliser door safety interlocking

Schmersal safety solenoid interlocks ensure autoclave and steriliser pressure vessel doors cannot be opened until internal pressure has safely vented.

Bircher Clean Switch Bircher Clean Switch
05
No-touch door access to cleanroom areas

Bircher Cleanswitch utilizes infrared sensing to open automatic door using only hand gestures.

EGE Temperature Sensors EGE Temperature Sensors
06
Freeze-dryer shelf temperature and position

EGE temperature sensors monitor shelf temperatures in lyophilisers during primary and secondary drying, providing the process data required for batch release documentation.

Pantron Fork Light Barriers Pantron Fork Light Barriers
07
Conveyor jam detection on bottle inspection lines

Pantron fork light barriers detect jams on rotary inspection table infeed conveyors, stopping the line before a jam causes glass breakage and contamination.
