Driving excellence in aseptic fill-finish: Our strategic partnership with Stäubli Robotics

At 3P innovation, we engineer automation with purpose - solutions that don’t just meet the demands of aseptic manufacturing but redefine what’s possible. Our Robotic Fill-Finish Platform roboFIL® is the embodiment of this vision. And central to its development is a long-standing collaboration with a global leader in robotics: Stäubli Robotics.

 

Stäubli & 3P innovation

Over a decade ago, as we set our sights on aseptic applications, we evaluated several robotics partners. One stood apart. Stäubli impressed not only with its sterile-compliant technologies but with its deep technical expertise and world-class global support. Their reputation for high-performance robotics in cleanroom environments, combined with a responsive service infrastructure, made them the ideal fit for our customer-first philosophy. Today, this partnership continues to thrive, anchored by shared values in innovation, regulatory alignment, and engineering excellence.

STERICLEAN+: Engineered for compliance

At the heart of roboFIL® lies Stäubli’s STERICLEAN+ robotic arm, a solution purpose-built for the rigours of aseptic manufacturing. It's fully hygienic, stainless-steel design eliminates bacterial traps, while FDA-approved coatings and sealed joints ensure full compliance with EU GMP Annex 1. Every design decision behind roboFIL® supports contamination control, offering our clients confidence in meeting even the strictest global regulatory standards.

What sets roboFIL® apart? 

Our customers choose roboFIL® not just because it's compliant, but because it's intelligently engineered.

Designed for flexibility, roboFIL® seamlessly handles both liquid and powder fills across vials, syringes, and cartridges. Its multi-format capability enables agile production without compromising precision. Unlike traditional systems, roboFIL® eliminates bowl feeders in favour of a vision-guided Stäubli robot, driving enhanced sterility and faster, simpler format changeovers.

Operator interaction is redefined through aseptically optimised touchpoints, ensuring every manual intervention supports a clean, consistent, and fully compliant process, end-to-end.

Compact. Integrated. Future-ready.

roboFIL® is more than a robotic cell - it’s a fully integrated, modular solution that includes automation, isolator, and environmental control in a compact footprint.

From built-in airflow management and catalytic converters to onboard environmental monitoring, every element is designed to reduce clutter, speed up installation, and simplify ongoing maintenance, making it ideal for both greenfield projects and facility retrofits.

A partnership that scales with you

This is more than a supplier relationship. Our partnership with Stäubli represents a shared commitment to shaping the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Customers benefit from Stäubli’s trusted robotics platform and 3P innovation’s tailored automation expertise - a partnership designed to support growth, ensure compliance, and drive operational efficiency. Explore the future of aseptic automation with roboFIL®.
