Qualified, traceable handling for high-mix batches.
Regulated, high-mix drug production runs short batches through fragile primary containers and validated steps that resist fixed automation.
The work is changing faster than you can staff it.
The dexterous, high-mix, contact-rich jobs are exactly the work classical automation was never built to hold — and the people who used to absorb it are getting harder to find.
Skilled labor is scarce
Aseptic and inspection roles demand trained, gowned operators who are hard to recruit and retain. Cells absorb repetitive contact-rich handling, freeing scarce staff for judgment-heavy work and reducing variability at the line.
Serialization mandates compliance
DSCSA and global serialization rules require unit-level traceability through packaging. Software-reconfigurable cells log every handling step and preserve code legibility, making serialized, audit-ready packaging repeatable across products.
Batches keep shrinking
Personalized therapies and clinical supply drive ever-smaller, higher-mix runs. Fixed automation can't justify retooling per batch, while a cell that reconfigures in software switches products without mechanical changeover or lost qualification.
The contact-rich jobs on a pharmaceutical line.
One cell, reconfigured per part — not a new machine for every job on the floor.
Vial handling
Transfer filled glass vials between trays, nests, and inspection stations without scratches or breakage.
Syringe nest loading
Load prefilled syringes into nests and tubs with force-limited, aseptic-aware placement.
Ampoule transfer
Move fragile ampoules from filling to inspection and packaging with controlled, gentle grasps.
Blister packing
Place tablets and capsules into blister cavities and load filled blisters into cartons.
Labeling and serialization
Apply and verify serialized labels, checking code legibility and DSCSA alignment per unit.
Trial kitting
Assemble high-mix clinical trial kits, picking varied components into patient-specific packs.
One cell. Assembly, inspection, finishing.
Qualified off-site. Running in two weeks.
The slow, hard engineering happens on our floor — so the cell arrives tested and dialed in instead of tying up your team for months. A new part is a reconfiguration, not a rebuild.

Bring a Relling workcell to your floor.
We started Relling to help American manufacturers make more of what this country needs. We'll scope a single cell to your parts, qualify it before it ships, and stand behind it on your floor.
