  • Publication number: 20260057992
    Abstract: A system for processing pharmaceutical packaging includes an apparatus with a processing chamber and processing station. An insertion opening is formed in a wall of the apparatus. A transportable container includes an interior for receiving a pharmaceutical production element and a container opening that can be closed and opened via a closing element. The container is dockable to the apparatus. The production element is transferable from the interior into the processing chamber when the closing elements are open. A monitoring device, which includes at least one reading unit and at least one identification element, is arranged on or part of the production element. State information about the production element is stored on or in the identification element, for example in a memory member of the identification element. The state information is readable contactlessly by the reading unit. The system can be monitored by a monitoring method.

  • Publication number: 20260042555
    Abstract: A dosing apparatus for pharmaceutical purposes includes a container having a wall and an interior enclosed by the wall, and a connection device for connecting the dosing apparatus to a pharmaceutical facility for processing a liquid pharmaceutical product. The connection device is integrated in the wall and includes at least one closure element for selectively closing an opening, a chassis for moving the dosing apparatus on a set-down surface, and a dosing tool in the interior. The dosing tool has a fluid conduit for guiding the product and a dosing unit for dosing and/or conveying the product through the fluid conduit. The fluid conduit is moveable out of the interior when the closure element is open. A method for operating the dosing apparatus includes the step of connecting the container to a chamber, in which a dosing tool is included.
