If you’ve ever seen the SmartDispenser® at work, you know how smart it is. But do you know that you can make it crazy-smart by adding SmartApps™ to it? They allow you to customize your SmartDispenser® to enhance your manufacturing process. To see what they can do, see the video we created.
Eliminate Human Error Once the Auto Program Load – Machine Verify SmartApp™ is installed, the Administrator can activate the SmartApp allowing the operator to scan a finished products bar code to automatically load the fluid dispense program specified for the assembly of the finished product. This SmartApp™ eliminates the potential of a human erroneously selecting the wrong […]
The AirFree® technology of the SmartDispenser® is used across a variety of ocular/ophthalmic fluid dispensing applications to control the processes; from design to manufacturability. As the fluid compounds used to make products such as foldable intraocular lenses and one day use contact lenses become more advanced, manufacturers must design a fluid dispensing process that is controlled, electronically […]
When using the SmartDispenser® it is necessary to verify that the volume dispensed is the volume that was requested. Each SmartDispenser® is designed to communicate with an A & D Company’s AD4212B Analytical Weighing Sensor. The administrator may activate the weighing sensor option in the administration section of the SmartDispenser® and it may be used […]
