Linear Motion Technology

Deploying a SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ system based on linear motion technology enables ATS to reduce footprint by 50%. The system is disruptive, because there is no need for RFID tags to track scripts. SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ is configurable to your existing floor plan, and its modularity allows for future expansion.

Digital Twin

ATS uses digital twin technology to simulate and validate your pharmacy automation system before it’s built. This means:

  • Lower risk: Every step is tested virtually before physical build
  • Faster validation: Design issues are solved early, saving time and costs
  • Higher confidence: Your system is qualified and production-ready from day one

Our Digital Twin Process Replicates:

  • 3D models of machines
  • Electrical and packaging integration
  • PLC code performance
  • Full line simulation with SuperTrak CONVEYANCETM and robotics

When your solution arrives on site, it has been proven in a virtual environment — ensuring an easier startup, fewer surprises, and faster ROI.
