Medical Device Assembly

Our engineers and automation specialists utilize the latest technologies to accelerate and derisk the assembly development process from the earliest stages. We use Virtual Reality (VR) digital simulations to generate early learnings and support proof-of-principle studies.  These allow the device to be seamlessly scaled to industrial volumes, with shortened timelines from early development to series production. Using the latest VR technologies, Sanner is able to save the customer time in configuring the production process. Sanner’s VR driven approach can help achieve more efficient assembly processes that eliminate uncertainties and derisk the device assembly process early on. The use of VR tools also allows us to design device assembly workplaces that consider workforce ergonomics from the very outset of development.

With decades of medical device assembly experience, we can handle everything from manual device assembly to fully scaled automated assembly. To manufacture and assemble drug delivery, diagnostic or medtech devices at scale, having access to fully automated assembly technologies, supported by the industry’s leading automation partners can make the assembly process more consistent and efficient. Sanner’s CDMO service professionals always think ahead to an industrialized assembly process that is a fully optimized solution for their CDMO customers.

Some medical devices are specialized niche products that are not produced in large numbers. Sanner develops efficient assembly processes for smaller products or pilot series, whether they are assembled by fully manual or semi-automated assembly systems with in-line quality testing. Our objective is always to find the right balance between assembly process investment and labor costs, while ensuring the selected approach produces only high-quality and compliant devices. Sanner is highly experienced in selecting the optimal assembly processes for each customer’s unique requirements.

Many of today’s medical devices are composed of numerous individual components that must be precisely assembled in order to provide reliable performance. Sanner can develop and implement efficient multi-component assembly processes for some of the most complex medical devices, for example a Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) with nearly 20 injection molded and purchased components .  We use the latest software, like Exact Planning and VR options, to plan, develop and implement optimized assembly solutions for the many medical devices we create. At Sanner, we also have advanced assembly options like Electro-Static Discharge assembly workplaces for assembly of mechatronic parts. All these high-tech assembly tools and capacities are available to Sanner’s customers, contributing to the high-precision and quality of their multi-component medical devices.

Sanner has the capacity and capability to develop and implement virtually every assembly process from the simple to complex. We can even add digital device features that fulfill today’s connectivity requirements. With specialized electro-static discharge (ESD) manufacturing and assembly capabilities, Sanner’s CDMO services can deliver optimized assembly solutions for virtually any device medical, medtech, or diagnostic CDMO customer requirement.
