HTI-Automation specialises in automating tube handling processes and offers a broad spectrum of solutions that streamline the entire workflow. These solutions encompass tube capping and decapping, dispensing, labelling, and storage of processed tubes. The primary objective is to boost production efficiency and accuracy, while also maintaining flexibility and cost-effectiveness. With over two decades of experience in automation technology, HTI-Automation has built a strong reputation as a reliable partner in the life sciences field, particularly in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CRO, and CDMO industries.
Our company focuses on three key business areas: standard systems for straightforward to moderately complex workflows, custom-designed solutions for intricate client-specific processes, and development and production services for related sectors. Each offering is tailored to meet the specific needs of clients, whether they require small-batch production or large-scale manufacturing.
Standard Systems – Automating Routine Tasks for Low to Medium Throughput
HTI-Automation provides a variety of standard systems suited for automating routine tasks with lower to mid-level throughput. For simple applications, such as labelling various tube formats or managing the capping and decapping of tubes, our benchtop systems like the X-TubeProcessor BASIC and X-TubeProcessor SIGN are ideal. These systems help automate repetitive tasks in labs and manufacturing facilities efficiently, minimising manual errors and boosting productivity at a cost-effective price.
For more complex tasks, we offer the X-TubeProcessor SMART and X-TubeProcessor FLEX models. These systems, in addition to labeling, can perform more advanced functions such as dispensing liquids into tubes via pump or pipettor, and they also feature cooling and storage options. These are perfect for applications requiring greater adaptability and flexibility, such as those found in biotech research or pharmaceutical production.
Customised Automation for Complex Workflows
Alongside our standard systems, HTI-Automation also designs tailored solutions for the automation of complex workflows. These tailor-made systems are developed to meet the specific requirements of individual clients and allow for the integration of various add-on modules, including powder dispensing, in-process control with weighing modules, barcode scanners, laser marking, and more. One standout example is the X-TubeProcessor ULTRA, which comes with a wide range of additional features and modules.
Our extensive experience in designing and implementing such systems enables us to cater to even the most demanding needs, offering solutions precisely suited to each customer’s unique workflow. Our expert team collaborates closely with clients to ensure that the system developed not only fulfils their technical requirements but also delivers high levels of efficiency and reliability.
