As the demand for advanced medical technologies like wearable monitors and smart drug delivery systems continues to surge, manufacturers face mounting pressure to scale production while maintaining precision and strict regulatory compliance. Addressing these challenges, innovative automation solutions — particularly intelligent conveyor systems — are transforming how medical devices are assembled in cleanroom environments.
According to Deloitte, nearly 60% of life sciences manufacturing executives are prioritizing operational model optimization in 2025, with 30% targeting performance enhancements such as cost reduction and efficiency gains. However, expanding production in cleanroom facilities is no easy task, given spatial constraints and the need for FDA validation at every step.
From Traditional Conveyors to Intelligent Motion
One medical device manufacturer confronted these challenges head-on when transitioning from manual assembly to automated production. The company partnered with Automation NTH, a leading provider of high-precision automation systems for regulated industries, to modernize its assembly line without expanding its cleanroom footprint or altering validated processes.
Initially, Automation NTH deployed a traditional modular assembly system using belt-driven conveyors. While this setup supported automation, it soon became a bottleneck due to its limitations in speed, precision, and adaptability.
MagneMover Lite: A Smarter Solution
To overcome these limitations, Automation NTH integrated Rockwell Automation’s MagneMover Lite — an intelligent, magnetically driven conveyor system designed for high-speed, high-precision applications. Unlike conventional systems, MagneMover Lite uses independently controlled carriers, enabling real-time, flexible routing of parts across the production line.
Automation NTH further enhanced the system by developing a proprietary software engine to interface with the MagneMover Lite controller. This solution allows precise control of acceleration, velocity, and station allocation, optimizing performance at every stage.
The system was also engineered for adaptability. While the assembly process is now fully automated, it remains compatible with robotic and manual loading stations, allowing the manufacturer to adjust operations based on future business needs.
Measurable Impact: Lower Costs, Higher Output
The deployment of the intelligent conveyor system delivered significant operational gains:
Production capacity doubled within the same footprint.
Cost per part decreased by 40%, improving affordability and accessibility for patients.
Application footprint reduced by 38%, critical for space-constrained cleanrooms.
These improvements enabled the manufacturer to meet growing global demand efficiently while adhering to stringent regulatory requirements.
