Automatic medicine packaging and dispensing system MENITH

Overview
MENITH is an automated robotic system for multi-dose sachet (MDS) dispensing, high-speed packaging and integrated inspection, supporting continuous production with capacities up to 864 canisters.

Summary
All-in-one robotic automation combining intelligent dispensing, dual-line high-speed packaging and integrated vision inspection in a single production cycle. The MENITH range centralises dispensing, packaging and verification to optimise throughput for MDS facilities.

Key capabilities

• Integrated VIZEN vision system: captures and verifies every pouch, stores images and removes the need for external inspection equipment.
• Dual mainframe packaging with two sealers operating simultaneously to increase throughput.
• Mass production capacity: up to 120 pouches per minute in dual sealer configuration.
• Dynamic robotic arm for autonomous handling and optimisation of canister and blister workflows.
• Predictive stock management: on-board robot analyses inventory and organises canisters to reduce waiting times.
• Volumetric adjustment: automatic pouch size selection based on dose quantity to reduce consumable use.
• U-canister technology enables automatic tablet processing without molecule-specific calibration.
• STS trays for manual filling of low-turnover medicines with LED guidance.
• Class A certified consumable paper compliant with pharmacopoeia standards, available in 600 m Jumbo format.
• Optional integrated dust extractor to reduce airborne dust and cross-contamination risk.

Components & interface

• LED lamp: visual indicator communicates current status via colours.
• LCD touch monitor: primary control interface for operation supervision and program management.
• Control panel: centralises power, robot control and system start-up.
• Canister input/output stations: dedicated points for canister reception and delivery to support storage flow and replenishment.
• Lower cabinet: integrated storage for spare supplies and essential items.
• Fan / thermal regulation: prevents excessive temperature build-up inside the unit.
• Emergency button: safety device halting all operations in case of incident.

Production workflow & traceability
The MENITH workflow is a fully integrated MDS chain: clinical validation and management via Savioo software, predictive planning via OnCube, high-performance robotic dispensing (up to 120 pouches/min), integrated VIZEN vision validating every pouch in real time and automatic diversion of erroneous doses, finishing with automatic size adjustment and full traceability including image and data storage for every dose.

Operational continuity & contingency
Built-in contingency design: main packaging block is replaceable to reduce downtime. Interchangeable modules allow rapid recovery and continuous operation in case of incidents.

Additional features

• Dynamic and visual labelling: customised pouch design per dose including medicine shape, colour, barcodes and dosage instructions.
• Error-free stock management: each canister has a unique barcode for accurate refilling and traceability.
• Predictive stock positioning: robot prepares canisters in advance to prioritise urgent orders and eliminate bottlenecks.
• STS with Guide Light: manual dispensing assistance for low-turnover medication with LED guides.
