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 does collect, store and report 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 designed for easy teardown and re-assembly. The modularity of SYMPHONI allows for more predictable installation times and costs, which makes it more efficient compared to other customized assembly systems or those that are less modular.

Is SYMPHONI suitable for low throughput applications?

Yes.

SYMPHONI is a good fit for applications ranging from clinical trials to high-volume commercialization; it is capable of 10 parts per minute to ~1000 parts per minute, depending on the configuration. SYMPHONI automates critical processes for both low and high-volume production.

Yes.

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 permits 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 will 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.
