Swisslog Healthcare Introduces UC30 Automated Tablet Counter for AutoPack
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Swisslog Healthcare, a leader in pharmacy and transport automation solutions, launches the UC30 Automated Tablet Counter, a new add-on feature for the AutoPack™ Automated Oral Solid Packager. This addition enhances the AutoPack's efficiency in hospital pharmacies, freeing up pharmacists for more patient-centric care.
AutoPack, an automated oral solid packager, supports up to 480 medications in a single packager. The UC30 Automated Tablet Counter provides fast and accurate tablet counting, streamlining operations and enabling a more efficient pharmacy workflow. It counts up to 240 tablets per minute, significantly speeding up the medication packaging process. This compact device, 45% smaller than its predecessor, features a user-friendly interface where operators enter the desired quantity for automatic counting.
'By eliminating the need for inefficient manual intervention, the UC30 allows hospital pharmacy staff to focus on high-value clinical tasks,' said Connie Vigil, Business Analyst at Swisslog Healthcare. 'This automation not only saves time but also reduces the risk of human error in the counting process.'
The UC30 uses dedicated canisters and includes an LED indicator that signals completion. Its design allows for easy maintenance, with a removable chute that doesn't require tools, ensuring hygienic operation. The UC30 complements AutoPack and integrates seamlessly with all models of canisters.
The AutoPack addresses several key challenges faced by hospital pharmacies. Its design allows for easy replacement of the main frame packaging unit, reducing downtime and boosting productivity. The system includes a standard Special Tablet System (STS) Tray and AutoCanisters™, which handle half tablets, infrequently used tablets, and tablets with special shapes. AutoPack comes in two styles with nine capacity options, ranging from 244-480 canisters, to fit various pharmacy needs.
The UC30 Automated Tablet Counter Is now available for hospitals across North America. More information can be found at https://www.swisslog-healthcare.com/en-us/products/pharmacy-automation/autopack-automated-oral-solid-packager.

Westlake Epoxy Announces Strategic Collaboration With Alpha Recyclage Composites to Advance Composites Recycling
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK) announced today that Westlake Epoxy will collaborate with Alpha Recyclage Composites to support them in scaling up the recycling capacity for carbon fiber composite materials. This collaboration will provide support to Westlake's composite customers in their development of improved circular options for both production (scrap or off spec composite materials that otherwise become waste) and end-of-life waste. The recovery of the carbon fibers from composite materials for reuse in new or emerging applications aims to establish a more sustainable alternative to traditional disposal methods such as landfilling and incineration. Alpha Recyclage Composites, a family-owned company based in Toulouse and Castelsarrasin, France, specializes in recycling carbon-fibers-reinforced composites through a patented steam pyrolysis process. This innovative technology preserves the performance qualities of the carbon fibers used in composite materials recovered from applications including aerospace components, automotive parts, and wind turbine blades. With Westlake's support and to meet growing demand, Alpha Recyclage Composites is expanding its current batch unit to a semi-continuous operation, targeting a capacity of 1,000 metric tons of waste carbon fiber composites recycled per year by 2027. 'We are pleased to collaborate with Alpha Recyclage,' says Brian Powers, Vice President – Westlake Epoxy. 'This initiative supports Westlake's broader sustainability goals and aligns with industry's efforts and our customers' objectives to reduce waste and promote the reuse of valuable materials through circular solutions.' By fostering the relationships between Westlake's composite customers and Alpha Recyclage Composites, Westlake Epoxy aims to connect its customers to Alpha Recyclage's expanded capacity and in turn support composite customers in their development of new applications that integrate recycled carbon fibers in different forms. The development of new applications utilizing the recovered carbon fibers could pair well with Westlake Epoxy's EpoVIVE™ portfolio of resin grades with varying sustainable characteristics, like resins that utilize mass balanced renewable raw materials. Westlake Epoxy also plans to leverage this collaboration with Alpha Recyclage to explore and develop solutions for the recovery of organic components from composite materials and how those recovered organics can be applied to further enhance circularity options for the composites value chain. Laura Pech, CEO of Alpha Recyclage Composites, added: 'With over 25 years of experience in tires recycling, including a large-scale steam pyrolysis plant for tires – our family is proud to adapt this process to composite materials. We view Westlake as a strategic collaborator to help us grow this initiative into a more sustainable and profitable business.' About Westlake Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK) is a global manufacturer and supplier of materials and innovative products that enhance life every day. Headquartered in Houston, with operations in Asia, Europe, and North America, we provide building blocks for vital solutions — from housing and construction, to packaging and healthcare, to automotive and consumer.
