The new partnership applies innovations in robotics and connected technologies to modernize medication workflows, reduce human error, and support higher‑quality pharmacy care

Franklin Lakes, N.J (March 11, 2026) – BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, and Sinteco, a leader in unit dose robotics, today announced a technological partnership agreement for end-to-end connected medication management, streamlining the medication journey from hospital receipt all the way to the patient bedside.

Through this technological partnership, hospitals across Europe will have access to a complete solution for transforming manufacturer bulk medications into individually packaged unit doses. The integrated workflow is designed to enhance patient safety, reduce the potential for human error, and enable full traceability, empowering healthcare professionals to spend more time focusing on patient care.

“Today, medications are primarily delivered to hospitals in packs and manually cut or packaged into individual doses to be administered to patients,” said Esteban Rossi, vice president and general manager for Medication Management Solutions, EMEA at BD. “Combined technology from Sinteco and BD will transform what was previously labour-intensive, manual work into a seamless, automated process. This improvement enables pharmacists and nurses to focus more on patient care, address staffing challenges, and provide end‑to‑end traceability that ultimately delivers better patient outcomes.”

This technological collaboration represents a significant step forward in the integration of robotics and connected technologies in healthcare, empowering hospitals to deliver safer, more efficient and future ready medication workflows

"Our vision is to make healthcare automation easy to use, scalable, and adaptable,” said Stefano Giacomelli, Managing Director for Sinteco. “Partnering with BD allows us to bring our advanced robotic solutions to a wider audience to enhance the quality of care and efficiency in healthcare settings." 

Bringing together BD and Sinteco technology empowers hospitals to enhance safety and traceability with full visibility from blister‑pack transformation to final administration, supported by scanning and Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) processes. By automating routine medication preparation and handling, the collaboration reduces clinical and pharmacy workload, minimizes the risk of human error and streamlines hospital operations. The partnership also offers modular, scalable and customizable solutions that can adapt to the diverse needs of hospitals of all sizes as their operational and clinical requirements evolve.
