With the shortage of healthcare professionals and an aging population, automating as many aspects of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries as possible is critical. Utilizing new advances in technology such as AI and robotics can mitigate rising healthcare costs for retirees. Midwest Engineered Systems has been leading the way by providing robotically automated solutions for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

For example, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, MWES built custom-designed drop-in fully automated robotic vial filling machines to help combat the virus. Our turnkey machines are fabricated according to commonly accepted industry design and fabrication practices and standards as well as ISO-5 cleanroom sanitary standards. The entire automation system is contained in a footprint a little bigger than a refrigerator.
Each of these machines can precisely and safely fill upwards of 360 vials per hour with pre-determined doses. But the potential for turnkey automation doesn’t stop there. Considering the small footprint of the machine itself, the machine can be set up just about anywhere from hospitals to pharmacy backrooms.
With the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a vial filling machine could be configured to rapidly and intelligently process individual prescriptions. Additionally, the system could be combined with other systems for performing product packaging and customer engagement. AI could be utilized in predicting customer prescription renewals and trends in the demand for certain medicines. That information can then be utilized by the vial filling machine to run its operations.
The integration of AI in healthcare can revolutionize patient care and health management, offering benefits such as improved outcomes for patients and clinical teams and reduced healthcare costs.
Along with robotic vial filling solutions, Midwest Engineered Systems integrates custom-built systems that perform medical cartridge coating, disposable device assembly, vial coating automation and more. As leaders in manufacturing equipment MWES brings consultation as your first and best step. That’s because MWES has a great depth and breadth of innovative solutions in healthcare and beyond. We are… Innovation Through Automation.
