Sustainability
groninger is enhancing the engineering of its filling and closing machines for pharmaceutical products with a modular line design, breaking new ground in special machine construction.
The innovative solution is based on standardized technologies and modules and offers many options for customers and users, with less complexity in development. One of the first modular machine solutions at groninger are the flexfill lines. 
Particularly for applications in the pharmaceutical industry, groninger wants to help significantly shorten the time to production start-up. Time to market is – in addition to flexibility and the ever-increasing safety requirements for processing pharmaceutical products in a sterile environment – one of the most critical issues. groniger wants to offer its customers the usual variance and flexibility and at the same time make internal processes as efficient as possible.  
Modular automation with SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers for flexible solutions: 
  • Without servo axes or with SINAMICS S120 servo drives and SIMATIC S7-1500T controller 
  • With safety functions – one controller for non-safe and safety functions 
  • With advanced kinematics options, even robotics applications can be covered 
Modular approach in automation software with libraries in the TIA Portal
"Considered over the entire lead time of a flexfill project, we can achieve up to 50% time savings compared to a custom-developed machine."
Robert Kibele, Product Manager, groninger & co. gmbH
  • Save up to 50% time during development compared to custom-developed machines 
  • Ensure variance and flexibility 
  • More freedom for innovative solutions 
  • Efficient engineering and fast commissioning thanks to standardized, tested modules 
  • High project quality due to fewer sources of error 
  • All solutions can be flexibly covered with one automation system 
With standardized technologies and modules, groninger makes the implementation of its filling and closing machines for the pharmaceutical industry significantly more efficient and shortens the time-to-market considerably.
