SIERACTECH Unveils Artificial Nose Automated Packing Machine with UDI Traceability and Vision Inspection

SIERACTECH has announced the release of its Artificial Nose Automated Packing Machine, a GMP-compliant packaging system engineered for high-efficiency processing of respiratory medical consumables. The new machine integrates product feeding, pouch packaging, UV coding, vision inspection, and full UDI traceability into a single, fully automated solution.

This system is purpose-designed to meet the stringent regulatory requirements of medical device manufacturers worldwide, delivering stable production performance, significantly reduced labor cost, and improved packaging consistency across every production run without compromise.

Fully Automated Production Workflow

The packaging machine operates through a precisely orchestrated series of automated steps, each monitored and controlled through a centralized PLC system with HMI interface:

  1. Automatic product feeding with precision positioning mechanics
  2. Pre-made pouch loading and pneumatic opening for consistent presentation
  3. Product filling into opened pouches with controlled insertion depth
  4. Heat sealing with adjustable temperature and pressure parameters
  5. UV inkjet coding for batch number, production date, and expiry information
  6. High-resolution vision inspection for code legibility and packaging seal integrity
  7. Barcode scanning and UDI data collection with database association
  8. Automated sorting with rejection of non-conforming units and case packing

This seamless sequence ensures every packaged unit is fully traceable from production line to end user, meeting the latest UDI regulatory mandates in major healthcare markets including the United States FDA and European Union MDR requirements.

  • Respiratory medical consumables for hospital and home care settings
  • Single-use disposable medical devices requiring sterile packaging
  • Sterile pouch-packaged products across multiple medical device categories

Compliance and Quality Assurance

In an era of increasing regulatory scrutiny, the built-in UDI traceability system provides manufacturers with a robust compliance framework. Each packaged unit receives a unique device identifier that is verified, recorded, and linked to production batch data, enabling rapid recall management and full supply chain transparency. The vision inspection system adds a second layer of quality assurance by verifying every code and seal before the product leaves the packaging line.

Every SIERACTECH artificial nose packaging machine undergoes comprehensive factory acceptance testing, including simulated production runs, code verification accuracy checks, and vision system calibration. Installation support, operator training, and ongoing remote diagnostic services are provided to ensure smooth commissioning and sustained operational excellence.
