Medical Device Sterilization Transport Automation
The Issue
IFA is working with the EPA on the automation portion of Engineering Controls in Commercial Sterilization Facilities. Our goal is to reduce employee exposure to Ethylene Oxide while increasing company revenue using automation.
The Solution:
Innovation for Automation is pioneering the automation of medical device transportation within sterilization facilities throughout the United States.
IFA automates pallet movement for the pre-conditioning, sterilization, and aeration phases using automated guided vehicles, conveyors, and transfer systems.
Empowering Health Through Automated Sterilization Logistics
Design: We design our automation system to integrate with existing sterilization facilities operations
Build: Our team of engineers in Grand Rapids, MI builds our automated guided vehicles, conveyors, and transfer systems using off the shelf components to insure reliability, availability and ease of integration
Install: Our install teams work with sterilization facilities on pre-installing planning, site preparation, installation, integration, calibration, and compliance
Support: Our relationships with Morrison Industrial Equipment, Triad Services, Big Joe Forklifts, Rockwell Automation, BlueBotics and Wiferion allow us to fully support the automation systems on a 24/7 basis
