HERMA US Inc. Partners With Norwalt Automation Group To Unveil Innovative Labeling Solutions At PackExpo

The newly developed 211RHC labeling cell features the world’s smallest fully integrated servo gripper and performs up to 25% faster than comparable semi-automatic machines.

Fairfield, NJ – HERMA, a leading manufacturer of high-precision labeling machines, in collaboration with Norwalt Automation Group, an industry leader in automation systems integration, will debut their latest innovative labeling solution at Pack Expo, November 3-6 in Chicago. At Booth W-16049, the two companies will jointly showcase their 211RHC labeling cell.

Designed with the pharmaceutical industry in mind, the 211RHC is a groundbreaking solution that addresses the unique challenges of labeling small, irregularly shaped, and non-stable products such as vials, pens, syringes, and cartridges. Traditionally, these products have been labeled using semi-automatic machines like HERMA’s 211 HC wrap-around labeler. However, the newly developed 211RHC significantly automates this process, enhancing both efficiency and precision, making it a pioneering solution for small-batch pharmaceutical labeling.

The HERMA 211RHC is the result of a successful collaboration between HERMA and Norwalt Automation Group, combining HERMA’s expertise in labeling technology with Norwalt’s advanced automation capabilities. This partnership exemplifies both companies’ commitment to innovation and excellence in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

"Partnering with HERMA on the development of the 211RHC has been an incredible journey,” said Mike Seitel, Charman of Norwalt Automation Group. “By combining HERMA’s exceptional labeling technology with Norwalt's automation expertise, we have created a solution that not only addresses the unique challenges of pharmaceutical labeling but also sets a new standard for efficiency and precision."

"We are thrilled to partner with Norwalt Automation Group and bring the 211RHC to market," said Gavin Purvis Director of Sales & Marketing at HERMA. "This machine represents a significant step forward in pharmaceutical labeling, offering an automated solution that delivers unmatched accuracy and efficiency. We look forward to demonstrating its capabilities at Pack Expo."

In addition to the 211RHC, HERMA will also be showcasing its HERMA 132 HC labeling machine and providing live demonstrations of both machines at their booth. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness firsthand how these state-of-the-art machines can streamline labeling processes and improve overall production efficiency.
