NORMON

A superhighway for pharmaceutical products

The challenge

Normon, one of Europe's most modern laboratories for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, has completely renewed its strategic logistics concept. The company aims to automate large portions of its material-handling process and needed a logistics system capable of managing a vast volume of 1 million products daily while adhering to rigorous industry regulations.

The solution

Normon chose Interroll's advanced conveying technology to enhance its logistics operations. Over 1.5 kilometers of Interroll Modular Conveyor Platform (MCP) were installed to optimize the movement of goods within the facility. A stop-and-go mechanism ensures that conveyors operate only as necessary. The system prioritizes deliveries on fast lanes while buffering and picking other goods based on urgency and destination, ensuring efficient commissioning without human error.
