Systech Introduces Semi-Automated Aggregation Solution for the Pharmaceutical Industry

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Systech, part of Markem-Imaje and Dover and a leading provider of digital identification and traceability software solutions, today announced the introduction of the ST16 Semi-Automated Multi-Aggregation Station for pharmaceutical manufacturers, marketers, repackagers and distributors. This integrated offering seamlessly combines industry-leading software with robust, flexible hardware to help optimize productivity, improve operational efficiency and streamline processes.

"We are thrilled to unveil our newest turnkey offering, the ST16 Semi-Automated Multi-Aggregation Station, which simplifies aggregation implementation," said Sreedhar Patnala, General Manager, Systech. "This unique solution provides dual functionality of aggregation and rework in a compact footprint, empowering our customers with unmatched flexibility and enhanced efficiency."

Efficient aggregation is critical in today's fast-paced pharmaceutical supply chain, where typically over one million units leave distribution locations each day. Accurate packaging aggregation data helps reduce bottlenecks and eliminates the need to open every non-aggregated case for manual unit scanning, significantly improving throughput and precision.

The ST16 Semi-Automated Multi-Aggregation Station automatically detects when a case is ready and initiates the packing process while inspecting the case label to ensure accuracy. The system provides flexibility with case and pallet label printers, as well as the option for pallet label inspection. The ST16 serves dual purposes for both aggregation and rework tasks at a single station. To simplify machine operation, the system incorporates remote focus technology, which reduces the need for mechanical adjustments and minimizes maintenance requirements.

The ST16 was thoughtfully designed for users with its ergonomic set-up, ease of maintenance and intuitive Pack-By-Layer software, which enables rapid aggregation and minimal operator intervention.

Systech is unveiling the ST16 Semi-Automated Multi-Aggregation Station at the PharmaPack 2025 event, which is held from January 22-23 at the Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles - Hall 7.2 in Paris, France.
