Vial Breakage Eliminated for Seqirus

100% Vial Breakage Eliminated, Saving 3-4 Hours Per Incident at Seqirus

3-4 hours of downtime saved per incident

100% reduction in vial breakages

Increased scroll speed and smoother transfer

Supported flu vaccine output during critical delivery windows

The Challenge

Seqirus’ vaccine production line was facing repeated issues:

Fragile vials (size 2215) were breaking mid-transfer

Each breakage triggered full line cleanups and sterilization

Downtime per incident reached 3-4 hours

Delays threatened public health supply timelines

The Solution

AE engineered a new scroll system designed for precision:

Isolated stress points and optimized vial handling

Redesigned the scroll for stable high-speed transfer

Achieved zero-breakage performance post-install

Delivered fast with no rework or further adjustment needed

Outcome

Metric Result
Breakage Rate Dropped to 0%
Downtime per Incident Saved 3–4 hours each time
Scroll Performance Faster and smoother with full stability
Compliance Fully aligned with sterile production protocols
"Since installing the new scroll, we have not experienced any of the vial breakages that were previously affecting production. The vial transfer is smoother, and we’ve increased speed while maintaining stability."
