#packaging inspection

Pharmaceutical packaging industry faces many issues with respect to the important aspects like precision or accuracy and with respect to the protective means of controlling any contamination. Every year, due to some stringent product tracking laws & rules, regarding the incorrect batch numbers, incorrect date of manufacturing or incorrect dosage etc., pharmaceutical manufacturers have to face & deal with an unexpected financial loss! Although, all such product tracking rules and regulations are very stringent, these rules help combat counterfeit or illegally imported drugs as well as any errors in the product dosage that may have severe health issues! Hence, to avoid any financial loss or quality issue, pharmaceutical manufacturers need to keep all such errors at bay.

 However, these product tracking rules necessitate pharmaceutical companies to act in accordance with certain requirements of bar-coding & serialization on the packaging. Thus, pharmaceutical companies these days, choose the facilities that are well-equipped or ensure that their own facilities are equipped with advanced automatic inspection systems that can help detect and eliminate any errors.

Online Inspection refers to the use of Camera Vision Systems for automatic inspection during the manufacturing or packaging processes to efficiently weed out variances and defects. These systems, which are a combination of highly sophisticated digital cameras and intelligent software, are an electronic replacement for the less-than-perfect human inspection.

Camera Vision Systems are capable of performing at profoundly high speeds and with great precision, without adversely affecting the speed of the manufacturing or packaging process, unlike human inspection. These systems use very small digital cameras that can be installed anywhere on the machinery or equipment so that the inspection can be conducted online, without disturbing the manufacturing or packaging processes.
