Turnkey solution

Cremer provides complete bottling line solutions from A to Z.

Over the years, Cremer has built up a strong market position for its counting machines in various industrial sectors. Companies that demand high counting accuracy and high speeds for counting and packaging their products are quick to turn to Cremer. This is especially critical in the pharmaceutical industry, where ensuring the correct number of pills in a bottle, as well as compliance to pharmaceutical norms and standards is an absolute requirement. Cremer has the right solutions for this, but pharmaceutical customers are increasingly looking for turnkey solutions.

Rather than sourcing individual components themselves, they prefer to outsource the entire line setup, from unscramblers and cappers to the product counter. The customer says: “We have the bottle and the product, give us the turnkey solution.” For these business contacts as well, Cremer has a proven track record of managing all the customer’s concerns by taking full control and responsibility – from purchase to delivery. With its expertise and network of specialized partners, Cremer delivers pharmaceutical turnkey solutions tailored to customer specifications.

Seamless pharmaceutical turnkey solutions

Coordinating a turnkey bottle filling line, from bottle unscrambling to carton packaging, can involve multiple suppliers and partners, making the process complex and time-consuming. Cremer simplifies this by offering full project management, saving customers valuable time and costs. With extensive experience, Cremer collaborates with trusted partners for specialized components that is not in their own portfolio such as induction sealers, ionization technology, high speed labelling machines, case packers and palletizers. Based on the customer’s specifications, we select the right partners.

In the pharmaceutical sector, parent company Uhlmann developed the advanced IBC monoblock bottle filling line. Now, in partnership with Cremer, they are finishing a pharmaceutical turnkey solution consisting of six stand-alone machines that integrate into a flexible bottle filling line, including UDI code tracking.

A partnership for complete pharmaceutical solutions

The collaboration between Uhlmann and Cremer provides clients with a comprehensive range of services. As an all-in-one partner, we oversee every stage of a project:

  • Consultation and design
    From the initial idea, we work closely with the client to develop a solution that aligns perfectly with production requirements and regulatory standards.
  • Engineering and construction
    Cremer specializes in manufacturing high-quality pharmaceutical turnkey machines, while Uhlmann ensures seamless integration of the Pexcite software for optimal performance and control. This advanced platform is compatible not only with Uhlmann’s own systems but also with third-party equipment.
  • Installation and compliance
    Every installation is executed to the highest pharmaceutical standards, with rigorous validation processes to guarantee full compliance with GMP regulations.
  • Maintenance and optimization
    Ongoing support and proactive maintenance maximize system reliability, allowing clients to continuously refine and optimize their processes.

Cost benefits and greater efficiency

Customers choose Cremer not only for high-quality counting machines but also for the cost and efficiency benefits of outsourcing procurement and project management. With increasingly long lead times, delegating procurement and coordination to Cremer ensures significant savings and a smoother process.

Cremer’s project managers collaborate closely with system engineers and suppliers, ensuring a seamless process. They oversee agreements, integrate them into a structured system, and manage documentation, scheduling, budgeting, and communication. Customers receive periodic progress reports, leaving them to focus only on purchasing and delivery – Cremer handles the rest.

User Requirement Specification (URS)

Cremer’s customers usually provide a User Requirement Specification (URS), the document that outlines the specifications the machine must meet. Cremer then collaborates with the customer to determine what is feasible within the possible solutions. The URS then clearly defines what the customer can expect from the machine and will be part of the quotation that also states the lead time of the provided solution. Good documentation beforehand is crucial to meeting the delivery timeline, as even a small change in the diameter or shape of a bottle can be critical for a packaging machine. Small deviations can immediately impact the success of the customer project, and Cremer pays close attention to this.

Six advantages of choosing a turnkey solution from Cremer:

  1. Turnkey means that we take care of all aspects of project management. All we ask of you is clarity in respect of the desired specifications. The agreed User Requirement Specification (URS) serves as the guiding framework.
  2. The counting machine is our core business. Our customers are familiar with our counting modules and know how they behave throughout the entire process.
  3. You can trust on our expertise. Cremer has many in-house disciplines and specialists with years of experience – from project managers to system engineers. Furthermore, our parent company Uhlmann also has several specialists.
  4. We do this on a regular basis. We know the partners we purchase third party equipment from and can therefore achieve more efficiency for you.
  5. Cremer has its own extensive range of machinery. We can assemble anything. And if adjustments are needed, we can implement these immediately. A component isn’t working optimally? Our production team will take care of it right away.
  6. On-site installation by our own technicians.
