Every industry faces challenges. Take medical device manufacturing. Its list of issues is long. After all, it’s a highly regulated industry with many compliance concerns that need to be met.
Fortunately, Fishman® Corporation has a solution extremely well suited to help this industry and others . It’s the SmartDispenser.® What makes it different is the fact that instead of being air-driven, the SmartDispenser® is air-free. And it’s the only solution like it on the market.
The difference allows the SmartDispenser® to provide medical device makers with something erratic air-driven dispense equipment simply can’t: the ability to apply algorithms to a mechanical drive. The predictability and precision gained from this enable the air-free SmartDispenser® to provide manufacturers with a number of key advantages—
- The algorithmic control of the SmartDispenser,® coupled with patented AirFree® Technology, help medical device makers validate processes in half the time and for half the cost of compressed air systems. The dramatic drop is achievable because once one SmartDispenser® is validated, all of them are validated. And, when performance is exactly the same with each system, the cost savings can pile up, amounting to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars.
- The SmartDispenser® lets manufacturers create just one numeric dispense program for all their SmartDispenser®s. And that one program can be documented and assigned in a single work instruction that can be transferred to any production facility regardless of global location, making global standardization possible.
- The SmartDispenser® creates machine-generated device history records that contain critical production data. Information that can help speed up validation, improve quality control and maximize profitability through cost accounting. And because the records are machine-generated, they’re free of human errors, so manufacturers can act on with complete confidence.
- The SmartDispenser® delivers exact performance where and when it’s needed most: dispense to dispense, workstation to workstation and facility to facility. This provides further assurances of global standardization instead of the frustrating inefficiency manufacturers are forced to accept when working with hit and miss air-driven dispensers.
The uniqueness of the SmartDispenser® provides additional benefits
Thanks to innovations like AlgorithmicControl™ and AirFree® Technology, the SmartDispenser® is the only fluid dispense system capable of eliminating the tiny bubbles that cause big problems for manufacturers. By comparison, the unstable qualities of air-driven dispensers give rise to a tidal wave of bubbles and troubles that no maker of medical devices wants to grapple with.
Another major benefit comes from the fact that the smooth and easy dispensing movement of the air-free SmartDispenser® provides an unmatched level of formulation protection and bond integrity. This simply is not the case when dealing with the rough and tumble motion of air-driven fluid dispensers, which can do a number on safety and strength.
At the end of the day, AirFree® Technology and AlgorithmicControl™ make SmartDispenser® the most innovative fluid dispense system manufacturers can use. The precision, control and validation capabilities gained from having this unparalleled solution ensure an improved assembly process, resulting in increased productivity, yields and profits.
Assembly Fluid Application Program (AFAP) gives manufacturers choices
Even with all the benefits the SmartDispenser® provides, there’s another that helps set Fishman® solutions further apart from air-driven dispensers. It’s the Assembly Fluid Application Program (AFAP), which is designed to appreciably ease the selection and ordering process of fluid dispense systems from Fishman.® AFAP does this by offering three choices, which cover medical device manufacturers with annual production yields ranging from low to mid to high.
Program Choice One—
Features the SmartDispenser® MINI™ Benchtop System with AlgorithmicControl™ With it, manufacturers can have the performance of a SmartDispenser® at a more affordable price, making it the ideal choice when running budget sensitive applications.
Program Choice Two—
Features the SmartDispenser® with AirFree® Technology. It not only delivers AlgorithmicControl,™ but along with AirFree® Technology, it provides manufacturers with a host of other important benefits they can’t get with air-driven dispensers.
Program Choice Three—
Features the SmartAutomation™ Platform, which allows manufacturers to employ AlgorithmicControl™ to coordinate the system’s axes with algorithms that control the LinearDrive™ System (LDS) of the SmartDispenser.® It’s the only solution that brings the power and precision of algorithms right to the fluid dispensing drive system.
AFAP makes each Program Choice upgradable to the next option
The SmartDispenser® MINI™ comes with a buy back program that makes it easy and affordable for manufacturers to upgrade to the high-performing SmartDispenser® Benchtop System.
When the time comes to ramp up production, the SmartDispenser® Benchtop System can be easily integrated into the SmartAutomation™ Platform, ensuring manufacturers keep up with increased production levels.
With three Program Choices to grow with, the original investment is never lost, making the SmartDispenser® the most flexible fluid dispense system available today.
