Special guest: Ranga Yogeshwar

Bosch Packaging Technology was able to gain the renowned physicist, business journalist and television presenter Ranga Yogeshwar as a guest speaker. In his keynote, he examines the pharmaceutical world in times of digital change from an external perspective. At the symposium, customers will report about exciting projects and their experiences in working with Bosch Packaging Technology and provide insights into concrete application examples. The traditional plant tour focuses on new technologies for liquid pharmaceutical processing. Participants will get an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes, experience numerous machines in action and see the new developments from Bosch Packaging Technology on site.

Training in virtual surroundings

Bosch presents a highlight from its Industry 4.0 portfolio at the ALF 5000 filling and closing machine for vials and ampoules: a Virtual Reality (VR) application for training purposes. "With VR glasses, operators can practice how to change size parts without having to use the cleanroom," explains Tobias Goettler, product manager at Bosch Packaging Technology. "With these trainings, we support our customers in expanding their machine knowledge without great effort." The VR training service is not limited to the ALF 5000; it can also be applied to other machines from Bosch Packaging Technology.

Customer-specific line in action

Also live on show: a customer-specific line for the aseptic filling of biopharmaceuticals. As a special feature of the line, integrated robots reduce manual glove interventions as well as interventions for bacterial count monitoring. The line, which was developed together with a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer, enables flexible use of packaging materials with fast format changes and ensures precise, safe and clean handling of the containers.
