A pharmaceutical production unit is a facility where medicines and other pharmaceutical products are manufactured. Designing these units requires in-depth knowledge of the constraints and standards of this highly demanding sector. MGA Technologies specializes in the design of pharmaceutical production units. Discover our innovative solutions! MGA Technologies designs custom machines for sterile processes that meet these requirements.
Pharmaceutical Production Equipment Design Manufacturer
Pharmaceutical production covers various operations that must comply with very strict regulations and require the design of specific units. These units must meet strict quality standards to ensure that the environment, safety and hygiene are respected.
In France, the pharmaceutical industry is regulated by the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM). The ANSM sets standards for the facilities that manufacture medicines, to guarantee the quality and safety of the medicines produced. It has published a guide to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for medicines, which sets out the principles of GMP and guidelines for implementing them, and it inspects manufacturing sites to check that they comply. MGA Technologies offers automated robotic solutions that meet GMP requirements and guarantee production quality. Robotizing and automating production brings several benefits:
- better quality control;
- increased efficiency;
- reduced costs;
- improved safety.
For these units to be designed in compliance with the standards, the designer must have an excellent understanding of the needs expressed by the customer, and must integrate the constraints of the trade as well as those of the process in which the production equipment will be inserted. This is the first step toward the most suitable solution. In the machine created, the designer combines simplicity and technological innovation. Listening is therefore the first quality a designer must have: it is how they gain a perfect understanding of the subject, so that the design of the unit is a success.
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, robotization and automation are the best ways to remain competitive. The production units designed and built by MGA Technologies are semi-automatic or fully automated. Not only do they provide a high-performance machine, they can also significantly increase output.
For the design of efficient pharmaceutical production units, a specialization in robotics is a real advantage. Our teams work with the customer to develop a robotics and automation approach that is consistent with the industrial strategy deployed on the production site.
Machines and Complete Lines for Pharmaceutical Production
Once the design of the pharmaceutical production units is complete, our teams handle the assembly and wiring. MGA Technologies also carries out the mechanical adjustments and debugging, and completes the installation with FAT/SAT acceptance protocols, to ensure compliance with current standards.
Our robotic solutions can include the following:
- Pharmaceutical processing systems: complete lines designed and built to your specific needs and those of your customers. The processing systems we design can be used for sterile preparations and for the cleaning and sterilization of process tanks;
- Pharmaceutical filling and packaging lines: MGA Technologies designs and builds automatic, semi-automatic or manual filling systems and packaging lines, for filling bags, vials or other containers.
In addition to these solutions, our experts provide ongoing support to keep your equipment running at its best, with maintenance and technical assistance services available according to your needs.
What Follows the Design of Pharmaceutical Production Units
Once the design of the pharmaceutical production units has been completed, several stages must be followed before their installation and start-up on site. The manufacturing of the machines, their assembly and wiring are the steps that follow the design. For commissioning, tests must be carried out, particularly on the programmed PLCs. Mechanical adjustments complete this stage.
Installation and start-up can only take place after a simplified or complete FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) has been carried out on the finished machine and its correct operation has been established. On site, the team in charge of the design brings all the installations online, makes sure they are properly connected and checks that nothing has been damaged. Once the machine has been installed, a SAT (Site Acceptance Test) protocol formalizes the final phase of the project.
Integrating Standards and Regulations into Pharmaceutical Production Unit Design
Pharmaceutical production requires rigorous compliance with specific standards and regulations to guarantee the quality and safety of each product. In France, the ANSM plays a key role by setting strict standards for pharmaceutical manufacturing units. These standards are based on GMP and are regularly checked through ANSM inspections.
At MGA Technologies, we are committed to fully integrating these standards and regulations into the design and construction of our pharmaceutical production units. Our engineers and technicians are trained in GMP requirements and the strictest quality standards, to ensure that our solutions meet the highest regulatory expectations.
We apply design and manufacturing practices that comply with current standards. From initial design to final commissioning, we work closely with our customers to make sure our pharmaceutical production units meet all regulatory requirements and provide reliable, high-quality solutions for the manufacture of medicines.
