Streamlining OTC Medication Manufacturing

1
A complex overhaul with no room for error

The Problem

A global OTC medication manufacturer needed to replace their entire raw materials handling process — receiving, unloading, and transferring active ingredients like Naproxen Sodium into a continuous dosing, blending, and tableting line. Tight spatial constraints, a complex controls interface, and confidential formulation requirements made off-the-shelf solutions impossible.

2
Custom-engineered from the ground up

The Solution

AZO conducted on-site evaluations, material flow testing, and multiple rounds of engineering design to fit a custom ingredient handling system within the facility's footprint and height restrictions. The system was purpose-built to integrate with the existing process control platform and the continuous blending equipment from a separate manufacturer — with AZO serving as project manager through installation, commissioning, and SAT.

3
A compliant platform built to grow

The Result

A fully engineered, GMP-compatible raw materials handling system purpose-built for continuous OSD (oral solid dosage) production, with a flexible foundation designed to expand into additional pharmaceutical product lines in the future. The project delivered on precision, compliance, and spatial efficiency where no standard solution could.
