Overview
Process automation is where product quality is made: assembly forces, dispensing volumes, coding rules, and recipe control must be repeatable and traceable. Motionwell builds process stations and integrated lines with a focus on measurable parameters, stable recipes, and validation-ready documentation (project-dependent).
Core Process Capabilities
| Process area | Typical scope | Common controls and verification |
|---|
| Precision assembly | Press-fit, welding, fastening, fixture control | Force/displacement logging, torque control, interlocks |
| Dispensing and filling | Volumetric or gravimetric dosing, multi-head stations | Level or weight verification, feedback loops, alarms |
| Labeling and marking | UDI/batch/expiry workflows, serialization-ready patterns | OCR/OCV verification, reject handling, audit-friendly logs |
| Control platforms | PLC/HMI/SCADA, recipe and parameter management | Versioned recipes, role-based access patterns (project-dependent) |
Project References (Examples)
| Project reference | Process focus | Delivered implementation (high-level) |
|---|
| Project 0023 (Pharmacy Automation) | Coding and verification | Serialization-style coding with vision verification, HMI reporting, and controlled reject logic |
| Sealing & Filling Machine (custom equipment) | Dispensing and sealing | Multi-station dispensing and seal verification in a clean design (project-dependent) |
Engineering Notes (How We Keep Processes Stable)
| Topic | Practical approach |
|---|
| Recipe governance | Define what can change, who can change it, and how changes are recorded |
| Verification strategy | Decide which parameters are measured every cycle and which are sampled |
| Exception handling | Clear rework rules and error states prevent silent “good-looking bad parts” |
| Validation scope | Align evidence collection with your quality system early (project-dependent) |
Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|
| How do you specify dispensing accuracy? | We define the dosing method (volumetric/gravimetric), verification method (weight/level/vision), and acceptable tolerance. The fixture and fluid characteristics often matter as much as the dispenser. |
| Can you support UDI and serialization workflows? | Yes. The key is defining your coding rules, verification criteria, data retention needs, and how rejects are handled and reported. |
| How do you manage product changeovers? | We design tooling and recipes for controlled changeovers, then add verification checks so the line confirms the correct product and parameters before running. |
