Yes, SYMPHONI systems have been validated according to GAMP5 and are suitable for applications in the Life Sciences industry. SYMPHONI Standard Libraries are additionally pre-validated before integration into a full production system.
Yes, SYMPHONI solutions are deployed in regulated environments with the data and user functionality to adhere to the 21 CFR Part 11(FDA) guidelines for equipment and data.
Yes, SYMPHONI solutions are implemented collecting, storing and reporting either “critical to quality” or business (non- “critical to quality”) data for each part.
Yes, SYMPHONI standard design is compatible with ISO 6 Cleanroom environments.
Yes, SYMPHONI can be configured to run multiple variants. SYMPHONI is designed to support efficient changeover processes.
Physically, changeover elements may include touch tooling components such as RSM Arm end effectors, pallet fixtures, and RSM Discs. From a software point of view, changeover is an HMI-based recipe selection.
The elevated SYMPHONI RSM robots provide a clean table top area improving access. These RSM modules can be safely manually manipulated to enhance accessibility. In areas where extra space is needed to accommodate large external subsystems, such as bowl feeders and hoppers, ‘blank modules’ can be inserted.
SYMPHONI systems are inherently designed for efficient teardown and re-assembly. This modularity of SYMPHONI, installation times and costs are more predictable and typically significantly less than comparable systems having either more customized content or less modular designs.
Yes. SYMPHONI is a good fit for applications ranging from clinical trials to high-volume commercialization, SYMPHONI is capable of 10 parts per minute to ~1000 parts per minute, depending on the configuration. SYMPHONI is capable of scaling from low volume automating the critical processes, then maintaining the similar critical process automation and automating additional process for higher volume assembly.
Yes, absolutely. One of the key features of the SYMPHONI e-Cam software is its ability to incorporate independently controlled 3rd-party devices into its electronic camming. SYMPHONI provides a cam window in which the independent device is able to carry out its function.
Locating pins and fasteners mechanically connect the modules. Electrically, quick disconnects are used. Modules can be removed and docked efficiently.
Tooling can be aligned, and servos retaught, using ATS-provided alignment tools and HMI functionality. A high-speed debug camera can be tied into Illuminate™, ATS’ manufacturing intelligence suite, to assist with alignment and troubleshooting.
Parameters that require adjustment can be exposed to the HMI to allow users with the correct access level to make auditable changes without programming changes. The core SYMPHONI Software Libraries are validated; project-specific code is available for editing.
The simplicity and standardization of SYMPHONI software permit customers to be largely self-sufficient in troubleshooting, and maintenance. ATS offers optional comprehensive service packages including training, remote and onsite support, post SAT ramp-up support, long term performance analysis, and more.
SYMPHONI can be integrated with secure, reliable remote access. There is no need for instructions to be shared over the phone; with permission, a trained ATS service person can remote into the machine (with supervision) and provide support.
As a digital machine, a large amount of production data and machine statistics can be collected and visualized with the ATS Illuminate platform.
Yes, in many cases feeders can be simplified by shifting the complexities of part orientation from the feeder to the SYMPHONI standard part handling designs.
Yes, we’ll review your existing systems as part of our evaluation and recommendations. If needed, we have our own high-performance flex feeder specifically made for SYMPHONI.
Yes, SYMPHONI is capable of receiving parts from a tray handler.
Yes, SYMPHONI is capable of reel management.
