Samas and OMRON enhance end-of-line operations in medical diagnostics
with a circular-tracking robotic cell
Founded in 2017 in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, near Florence, Samas Italy Srl is a young company with strong roots in industrial automation. The company primarily operates in complex B2B markets, including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, cosmetics, food and chemicals. Growing demand for flexible, customised solutions for medium- to small-batch production, often with high format variability, has brought a widespread challenge into sharper focus: manual handling at the end of the production line. In medical diagnostics, feeding containers into final packaging machines is still frequently carried out manually or using conventional mechanical unscramblers with limited flexibility. The objective was to fully automate feeding into flow-pack and cartoning machines.
At a glance
Samas Italy and OMRON have developed a compact, modular robotic cell to automate end-of-line operations in medical diagnostics and other regulated industries. The solution integrates SCARA robots, vision systems, and OMRON motion control to optimise feeding to flow-pack and cartoning machines with a dedicated library for solving those kinds of challenges, the OMRON Robotics Packaging Library (ORPL). By eliminating repetitive manual tasks, the cell increases throughput to up to 80 parts per minute, enables fast, predominantly digital format changeovers, and reduces footprint. The result is higher productivity, improved process reliability, lower operating costs and a fast return on investment, in a scalable solution applicable across multiple industries.
Key benefits
Higher productivity with throughputs of 50–60 parts/min, up to 80 parts/min
Drastic reduction of repetitive manual end-of-line operations
Fast, repeatable, predominantly digital format changeovers
Compact footprint suitable for space-constrained production environments
Increased process reliability and reduced waste
Fast ROI driven by lower operating and labour costs

“Beyond our initial expectations, we managed to further increase machine speed. Most importantly, we truly completed line automation from start to finish, eliminating a critical manual bottleneck.”
