KOCH increases quality, reduces production waste, and lowers logistics costs at VIVACY.

Laboratoires VIVACY is a French manufacturer specializing in the development, production, and distribution of injectable medical products based on hyaluronic acid for aesthetics and anti-aging medicine. Due to the boom in aesthetic procedures, production volumes at the Archamps site are increasing significantly, making automation of the packaging process necessary.

Challenge

  • Reduction of logistics effort, storage, and space requirements in blister production

  • Reduction of resource consumption and production waste (films and lidding films) through efficient material usage

  • Integration of customer-specific modules and high-quality design so that the production site serves as a reference object for VIVACY

Solution

  • Suitable footprint through blister machine KBS-KF with integrated stations

  • Specific and resource-saving solution that enables a minimum amount of waste: equipment of the punching station with double feed

  • Modular design with high-tech equipment and communication systems via Ethernet and OPC UA

Our projects are demanding! They require a lot of expertise and active consulting – we found both at KOCH. With this new packaging system, we have gained in quality – many thanks for that!

With the KBS-KF blister machine, only a small amount of material remains due to the clever placement of the blisters after punching.
