Interview with Jan Siebert, Blistercare
Blistercare is a pouch packaging center from the north of Germany with a long tradition. They use an automated storage system for their special tray system with direct transport into the clean room. Jan Siebert, head of operations at Blistercare, explains the advantages of their workflow.
For which products do you use the automated storage system?
The automated storage system is our warehouse for the special tray systems. It contains all the goods that have to be added to the pouch orders via the trays and is not stored in canisters. We combine a classic “pharmacy robot” with our software to pre-sort the medications for each pouch order. In my opinion, this solution is the best on the market for getting pharmaceuticals outside the cleanroom quickly and safely to make them available for production.
How do you deliver this medication to the cleanroom?
We use airlock technology to integrate the storage directly into the cleanroom. This airlock quickly delivers the medicines directly from the storage robot to the clean room for special orders, makeovers or reworks to be available immediately.
How do the solutions support the work processes in your pouch packaging center?
Without the automated storage system, we had to manually prepare all medications for an order for production. Now the robot does this job and, if necessary, even directly into the clean room.

First Covid-19, then war in Europe, and now, an energy crisis. For years we have been moving from one crisis to the next, which was previously unthinkable. But, even if the first two are still red-hot and far from forgotten, the next topic is already waiting to be considered: ENERGY.
Data driven optimization
Pouches help individuals for an easier daily life as patients can trust on the quality and reliability of their individual pouches. Pouch performance tracking from the canister to the inspection of the ready produced pouch can make this safer and more transparent.
Pay per pouch
Pay-per-use business models are common for software licensing, but are also an upcoming trend for machines for the industry. These models could be useful in bringing innovative machinery to the market. Read how this could work in a pouch packaging scenario.
