Pharma

The pharmaceutical industry is important for public health because it makes and distributes medicines that prevent, treat, and cure diseases. A leading pharmaceutical manufacturer produces high-quality medicines focusing on compliance and safety. This industry follows strict research and testing to ensure its products are effective before they are sold.

Initial Challenge or Current Challenges

Challenges in the pharmaceutical industry can be critical, especially with the reliance on manual inspection in pharmaceutical packaging. Manual inspection is time-intensive and prone to errors, increasing the risk of defective products reaching consumers and potentially compromising patient safety. Medicine packaging requires flawless record-keeping and transparency, with strict compliance to FDA regulations to achieve this level of precision is challenging, particularly under high production demands. Detecting microscopic contaminants, such as glass fragments, and ensuring label accuracy across varied packaging formats is difficult with traditional inspection methods. Additionally, human variability introduces inconsistencies, leading to higher defect rates and an increased risk of recalls. Automated systems, while helpful, face their own challenges, particularly with sensitivity calibration.

Implementation by xis.ai

xis.ai Suite provides an advanced AI-powered system that improves pharmaceutical packaging quality control by utilizing high-resolution cameras along the production line to capture and analyze product images in real time. It accurately detects surface defects like damaged pills, capsules, labeling errors, and packaging flaws through deep learning algorithms, ensuring real-time detection while minimizing the risk of defective products reaching consumers. The system incorporates two types of inspection: surface-level inspection and non-destructive x-ray inspection, addressing the challenges and complexity of identifying defects such as damaged capsules/pills and leakage. Through Non-destructive testing (NDT) X-ray inspection it internally identifies contaminations such as foreign particles, glass fragments, or other impurities. In essence, the xis.ai Suite offers a complete solution that enhances inspection accuracy, regulatory compliance, and efficiency in pharmaceutical visual quality inspection.
