The Story of the E-lab filler:
Every idea starts with a question.
After building SmartFiller, a compact but complex platform, we realized that many users had different needs.

They needed flexibility, speed, and the freedom to move from manual to automatic filling without changing their entire setup.

We started working in parallel on two lines:
one highly sophisticated, and one simple, accessible, and modular.

That’s how the E-Lab Filler was born.

From the idea to the prototype and real life
Our first real challenge Comedical request, in 2023
Our first real challenge came with Comedical, in 2023.

Comedical has a very interesting story. It is a small company with an interesting range of very specific products. If you want to know more about them and their products see here: Homepage - Comedical and for its story: Comedical: storia e prospettive future
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful
They needed to fill special vials with long internal spoons: a process that required a complete and compact solution.

The available space was extremely limited. Cleanliness and ease of maintenance were mandatory.
The budget, on the other hand, was far from what a standard industrial machine would require.
At the same time, the project was even more demanding: it needed high flexibility, scalability, compactness, and full traceability.

Andrea Gardumi, CEO of Comedical, also asked for a very fast realization.
It didn’t go that fast, to be honest because we wanted to test every corner, improve every detail, and make sure it was perfect.

We started to perform the filling operations ourselves, becoming part of the process to truly understand the real challenges of their work: handling small, delicate components while wearing full hygienic clothing: Tyvek suits, gloves, masks, caps...

It’s not easy when something goes wrong in such conditions, really, shit happens then.

To understand it even better, we began working on a manual setup, to feel the effort and precision required when you must fill and cap 300–400 pieces per hour.

It’s absolutely not an easy task. Not at all. We can assure you and now we understand the operating personnel in cleanrooms.

So we worked, we made mistakes, and we worked again - improving step by step - until the machine could finally run on its own with full confidence.

The outcome?

The first E-Lab Filler prototype — a scalable core module, extendable with add-ons for loading, capping, and labeling.

It worked beautifully and immediately caught the attention of other labs facing similar challenges.

From that point, the story took off.

And so did the requests for new improvements. But as curious and passionate engineers... we couldn’t step back.
Stay tuned — the next chapter is coming soon.
