We build for cleanrooms
The system
Automation designed for your cleanroom
POUL doesn’t just provide you with a robot. We deliver a complete, tailored system for automated material transport: hardware, software, project management, documentation, certificates — everything you need to operate without a headache.
03
Validation & Documentation
Certificates
Project management
Full documentation package
Factory and site acceptance tests
01
Hardware
Hygienic mobile robots at the heart of operation
Cleanroom compliant charging stations
Hygienic pallet magazines
Cleaning tools
02
Software
GAMP5-compliant logistics system
ERP / WMS / MES integration

The robot
The fork. Simple. Clean.
Soon to be iconic.
Features
1000 kg standard payload
Customizable fork design for a variety of payloads.
Hygienic design
Designed according to EHEDG, 3A and ISO guidelines.
Low particle emission
Engineered to minimize particle generation.
Use-case inspiration
API
Transport of bioreactors and fermentation/cultivation tanks.
Formulation
Transport of APIs, excipients and mixing tanks.
Containment & ATEX
Safe transport in high-containment and solvent storage areas.
Raw material handling
Infeed of raw materials to fermentation process.
Filling line operations
Supply of tubs, closures, plungers and removal of waste.
Between grades
Automated transfer of goods between cleanroom grades.
Industry challenges
Accept manual operation risks or build an automated system.
Contamination risks
Protecting the product is crucial for patient safety, quality, and compliance. Still, most production environments rely heavily on manual operation increasing risk of contamination.
Safety & performance risks
We ask operators to perform with machine-like precision in critical environments. It's an unfair expectation and an unnecessary risk for operator safety.
Higher demand, stricter regulations
Novel medicines drive a global increase in production capacity. Meanwhile regulators demand higher standards that manual and paper-based processes can hardly meet.
Legacy processes
Other industries have long been utilizing robotics to drive down cost. Conservative choices and lack of appropriate technology have slowed down the adoption of robots in pharma.

About
POUL is
The trustworthy operator who knows every bolt by name.
The aseptic specialist who preaches patient safety.
The considerate designer who demands user-friendliness.
The reliable engineer who obsesses over every little detail.
The helpful QA who guides you through the maze of pharma requirements.
POUL was born in 2023 with the aim of bringing robots to pharmaceutical cleanrooms and other clean production environments. Since then, we’ve been on a wild journey, have met fantastic people, and carefully listened to many opinions.
Our first product, the fork, serves as a baseline for upcoming developments that we’re already working on. Stay tuned and connect with us on LinkedIn. We’d love to hear from you.
Founders
With over 10 years of expertise in cleanroom operations and pharma manufacturing, Julie steers GMP compliance, quality assurance, and project delivery at POUL. Janik’s background in optimizing cleanroom equipment for aseptic production drives POUL’s design, engineering & product development. Together, we build customer relations, partnerships, and commercial growth.

POUL stands for partnerships
We exclusively collaborate with the best in the industry. They are trusted partners to ensure safety, quality, and efficiency.
“Working with POUL was a markedly different experience. From the very beginning, I was met with deep industry insight, a strong grasp of compliance expectations, and a clear appreciation for the importance of thorough documentation of their delivery throughout the design phases.”
