SmartSkin Technologies, in partnership with SCHOTT Pharma
Introducing the SmartLine Program
You can now prevent glass vials and containers from breaking on your line. SmartSkin Technologies and SCHOTT Pharma show you exactly where the damage happens and how to fix it, so you lose less product, reduce downtime, and protect quality and patient safety.
What is SmartLine?
The SmartLine Program brings SmartSkin Technologies and SCHOTT Pharma together for pharmaceutical manufacturers. SmartSkin Digital Container Twins capture real data from your line, showing where and how much force your containers face. SCHOTT Pharma combines that data with testing in its ISO 17025 accredited laboratory to find the root cause, so you can fix the problem at the source.

FAQ
Who is SmartLine for?
Pharmaceutical manufacturers and CDMOs who want to prevent glass breakage, container damage, and seal integrity issues.
Is support on-site or remote?
We offer both. The mix of on-site and remote support is decided case by case, based on your line.
How does the program work?
Each SmartLine engagement follows a structured approach: understanding the challenge, mapping your line with SmartSkin Digital Container Twins, validating with SCHOTT Pharma testing where required, interpreting and prioritizing the findings, then modifying and verifying.
What causes glass vial breakage on a filling line?
Most vial breakage comes down to force. As vials move through a filling line, they face pressure, shock, rotation, and tilt from the equipment and from each other. Most lines only see the damage at inspection, after it has already happened. What usually isn't measured is the force on each container at every step. SmartLine fills that gap: SmartSkin Digital Container Twins measure those forces, and SCHOTT Pharma tests your glass to show which ones cause damage.
