1. A control method of an electromechanical apparatus for installing a plunger tip in a syringe, the control method comprising:
providing the syringe comprising at least one opening;
providing the plunger tip configured for snug insertion in said at least one opening;
pushing said plunger tip inside said syringe, by a pusher rod of said electromechanical apparatus, said plunger tip passing through an intermediate cannula element;
monitoring over time a force exchanged between said plunger tip and said pusher rod, providing a force signal by a force detector of said electromechanical apparatus;
analyzing said force signal to determine an installation status of said plunger tip in said syringe.
