ABENA– ADVANCING INCONTINENCE CARE

Go to all Cases

ABENA Group, an international manufacturer of healthcare products, has developed a digital incontinence product called ABENA Nova. The product is designed to provide a better quality of life for both incontinence product users and healthcare professionals.

 

The ABENA incontinence diaper is no ordinary diaper. It features sensors and a small clip that transfers data via Bluetooth and 4G networks to the WetSens Monitor app, which is installed on the caregivers’ mobile devices. Caregivers can easily and quickly monitor the diaper’s moisture status and be notified if it needs changing. The product saves resources and minimizes user discomfort. In addition, caregivers can also use the data collected to monitor the users’ fluid levels. However, the innovative product could not be manufactured at the ABENA production facilities, which led the company to seek a skilled engineering consulting partner to assist in completing the necessary upgrades.

Challenges

ABENA needed to create a reliable, user-friendly, and standard-based manufacturing system that could handle incontinence products of different sizes and types. The ABENA production facilities required a comprehensive upgrade with new technology based on analysis, concept studies and the development of mechanics, automation, and testing and quality control.

Solution

ABENA contacted DIS/CREADIS for assistance. After conducting analysis and evaluating various options, it was decided to develop and expand ABENA's production facilities with a semi-automatic solution – a so-called round table machine – that could easily take over from the large production lines via manual operation and adapt the product to sensor technology and quality control. DIS/CREADIS was chosen to contribute to concept development and implementation of automation, mechanics, vision technology, and quality control.

Benefits

The ABENA Nova product has already become a success in both the private and public healthcare sectors in Denmark and the Netherlands and other European markets. The digital solution now contributes to a better quality of life for users and an optimized use of resources. Without the upgrades to the facility and automated production systems, ABENA would not have been able to produce this groundbreaking new device.

Why DIS/CREADIS

DIS/CREADIS was chosen to contribute to concept development and implementation of automation, mechanics, vision technology, and quality control. In addition, the ABENA Group also chose to use DIS/CREADIS as a turnkey supplier so that the new production facility was developed, built, tested, and approved by DIS/CREADIS, and then installed and commissioned by DIS/CREADIS technicians on site at ABENA.

TIB Molbiol – ACCELERATING COVID-19 TESTING: TIB MOLBIOL TEAMS UP WITH DIS/CREADIS TO DEVELOP AUTOMATED PCR TEST MACHINE WITH RESULTS IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, governments worldwide have invested enormous resources in scaling up their testing capacity. PCR testing is the most reliable test method, but it can take several hours to a few days to deliver test results, leaving a window in which infection may spread. Olfert Landt, CEO of TIB Molbiol, identified the need for a shorter lead time and came up with the idea to develop a continuous PCR test machine. Samples are not moved through the testing process in batches as is normally done, but one by one, reducing the total testing time significantly.

GROULEFF DK – PRECISION AND INNOVATION IN MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Grouleff DK specializes in developing and producing medical equipment and was tasked with delivering a specially designed chair and bed for a MEG (magnetoencephalography) scanner. A MEG scanner maps the magnetic signals of a brain and requires a stable and uninterrupted scan to produce accurate images. Grouleff DK was approached by an English customer to create a chair and a bed in anti-magnetic materials with fine-mechanical solutions to fit their customer’s MEG scanner precisely. As this was the first time Grouleff DK had created a chair and a bed for a MEG scanner, they required external resources to complete the task and turned to DIS/CREADIS for assistance.

ADVALIGHT – REVITALIZING MEDICAL LASER TECHNOLOGY

Advalight is a Danish company that specializes in the development and manufacturing of medical laser devices. The company was established as a research project at DTU (Technical University of Denmark) 10 years ago, with a focus on laser sources. Since then, Advalight has grown into a company that produces laser devices for treating skin diseases and skin disorders such as chronic redness, spider veins, scars, moles, and acne. Advalight’s medical laser devices use yellow (589nm) and infrared (1319nm) laser lights, which are more effective in treating skin problems compared to other lasers. Advalight’s laser is built on solids (crystals) instead of on gas or coloring, which makes it less expensive, more reliable, and more stable than other medical yellow lasers on the market.
