Operate the ADVANCED Robotic Workstation as intuitively and easily as your smartphone.
The supplied operator tablet and our powerful operating system ESSERT OS enable you to analyze processes or teach-in new products and parameters at any time.
Quick and easy! Completely without any specially required know-how.
ESSERT's MicroFactory is a scalable production line consisting of a network of several ADVANCED Robotic Workstations.
Individual workstations can be easily linked together to form a reconfigurable, expandable production line, thanks to the modular architecture of our automation platform.
Our ADVANCED robotic workstation is also suitable for demanding requirements in terms of cleanliness.
Thanks to our GMP-compliant, hygienic design and the consistent use of stainless steel components, our systems can be operated in clean rooms up to ISO class 5. The solution for pharmaceutical automation is applied in medical device assembly, bin picking or lab automation.
Thanks to specially developed algorithms, transparent and reflective objects such as glass or plastic bodies can also be reliably detected in addition to plastics, metals and sheet metal.
Flexible Feeding Module
Components can be easily and flexibly separated by vibration and thus gripped by the robot; in addition, a choice can be made for illumination between transmitted light, incident light or side light.
Tray Stacker Module
Tray Stacker for maximum autonomy in minimum installation space. The tray Stacker is fully integrative and parameterisable via the user tablet. Maximum tray dimensions: 600mm x 400mm
Drawers Module
The drawer system is ideal for all products that cannot be organized in trays or boxes. The inlays of the drawers can be custom-made and product-specific.
Labelling Module
Integration of inline labellers including optional label inspection. The labels can be applied flat or to round bodies. Flexible interfaces for print data exchange are also available.
Tray Module
The Tray Module provides space for 600mm x 400mm trays and allows components to be placed or picked by a robot.
Laser Module
Engraving of components or assemblies using CO2, UV or fiber lasers.
Assembly Modules
Various assembly modules such as O-ring or syringe assembly stations, individually designed, manufactured and commissioned according to requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are potential areas of applications for the ADVANCED Robotic Workstation?
Application areas are diverse and limitless, including general industry and life science industry. Typical applications in life science include medical device assembly, laboratory automation, medical device testing, or packing of medical products. Typical applications in general industry include the assembly of small parts, ultrasonic welding, equipment placement or assembly of different O-ring types.
What are the benefits of automated steps in manufacturing?
Process automation in manufacturing offers several advantages, including:
Improved efficiency
Increased accuracy
Enhanced product quality
Cost savings
Scalability
Data and documentation
Operator safety
Continuous monitoring
What makes the architecture of the ADVANCED Robotic Workstation special?
The uniqueness of our systems lies in their high degree of modularity and flexibility. This allows for the adjustment of the level of automation in a process as needed. While a single ADVANCED Robotic Workstation module can handle individual process steps, multiple workstations can be combined to form a MicroFactory. This enables the comprehensive automation of process chains.
Additionally, our process modules are particularly flexible due to their standardized base. Different configurations may be chosen and changed as needed.
Is it possible to involve skilled workers in the process chain (manual workstations)?
Yes, the combination of manual and automated steps is possible. Our systems adhere to the highest safety standards for human-robot collaboration. This allows specific tasks, such as inspection or packaging, to be manually performed while ensuring safety.
Can existing facilities be integrated into the automation process?
Yes, existing facilities can be integrated into automated processes. Our flexible process automation solutions offer numerous interfaces, allowing ADVANCED Robotic Workstations to connect to existing customer facilities and automate previously manual tasks.
Is it possible to produce multiple products?
Yes, it is possible to produce multiple products. The operator tablet allows quick switching to different product recipes. All recipes can be managed centrally in a recipe database, and new products can be learned without specific expertise.
How long does it take to switch to new products?
Switching to new products typically takes only a few minutes using the provided operator tablet. The transition occurs with minimal physical adjustments and is usually done on software level or with only few manual steps.
Can the system be used in a cleanroom?
Yes, in the GMP-compliant version, both the ADVANCED Robotic Workstation and the ESSERT MicroFactory can be used in cleanrooms up to ISO Class 5. This is achieved through a hygienic design optimized for the pharmaceutical industry, based on stainless steel.
Are many format parts needed when switching to new products?
No – our systems eliminate the need for rigid mechanical components that require extensive reconfiguration when changing products. Instead, they utilize flexible component feeders that undergo a software-based and fully automatic setup during the changeover.
What is robotic process automation in the general and pharma industry?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in the general, but also in the pharmaceutical industry refers to the use of robots or bots to automate various repetitive and rule-based tasks and processes within companies. RPA technology allows these tasks to be performed automatically and accurately, reducing the need for human intervention and potential errors.
Pharmaceutical automation refers to the utilization of advanced technologies and automated systems within the pharmaceutical industry to streamline and optimize processes.
