Kinematic Automation is a vertically integrated provider of state-of-the-art manufacturing systems exclusively for the medical and diagnostics Industries. Our capabilities include all aspects of machine design and development, fabrication, assembly, and testing.  In addition, our dedicated and tenured staff is very adept at machine installation and startup and in the training of operators and maintenance personnel.

We build each system to exacting standards, utilizing the tenets of lean manufacturing.  And since we are 100% focused on the medical and diagnostics industries, we understand how to apply cGMP, GAMP 5, and 21CFR Part 11, and Part 821 requirements.  We also know how to listen to input from our customers.  Our success over the years can be attributed in part to our insistence on making our customers an integral part of our project team.  After all, our customers know their product and existing processes the best. 

 Another aspect that sets Kinematic apart from other providers of automated equipment is our unique approach to machine serviceability.  We design and build every system with the service and maintenance technician clearly in mind.  We provide easy and quick access to internal components of each machine through the use of quick release latches and slide-out, or pivot-open modules (or other similar assemblies).  This ease of access translates to shorter service and MTR (mean time to repair) cycles, significantly resulting in greatly enhanced machine efficiency and up-time.

Kinematic machines are Internet-enabled, which means we can troubleshoot from anywhere in the world. In addition, new or revised programs can be uploaded automatically. Advantage - enhanced machine efficiency and up-time.

Business Focus

Kinematic’s business is divided into two distinct but related areas of focus:

1. Custom Systems

2. Systems for the development and manufacture of diagnostic test strips and bio sensors. 

CUSTOM SYSTEMS

Our custom systems can be designed for any large-scale, automated manufacturing process. This includes  high speed assembly systems, web processing systems, special and proprietary automated manufacturing processes and other advanced automation machines for medical and diagnostic companies.

Our custom systems typically include a number of integrated processes and as such include a significant custom engineering content.  Learn more...

TEST STRIPS AND BIO SENSORS

Kinematic Automation is the world’s leading supplier of development and manufacturing system for the diagnostic test strip industry.  With installations worldwide, Kinematic machinery produces BILLIONS of test strips annually.  Our broad experience and technical expertise enables us to deliver  proven solutions to the challenges facing test strip manufacturers at greatly reduced risk and cost. 

STRENGTH AND STABILITY – Founded in 1980, Kinematic has been developing and improving its technology for 30 years.  We have a solid foundation of proven designs supported by a stable technical staff.  In addition we've encountered and solved most of the issues encountered during in the process of developing and manufacturing rapid diagnostic test strips.  Customers can be confident  that Kinematic will be here years from now to provide continued support for their development and manufacturing activities. 

TECHNOLOGY – Thirty years of experience has resulted in our development of a number of state-of-the-art technologies for the manufacture of diagnostic test strips. Some Kinematic strip manufacturing technology is patented, some is patent pending, and some is not patentable but is unique and proprietary.  Our technology has evolved over the years as we've addressed new issues, speed up processes, and as new electronic or control systems have become available.  We're continually pushing the envelope to hone and improve our technology.
