obviotec Inline Inspection System

obvioTec's Inline Inspection System is designed to close critical gaps in quality control for pharmaceutical packaging.

 

Traditional systems, like cameras and weight checkers, frequently struggle to detect missing components such as syringes and needles, especially within secondary packaging.

This limitation can result in safety risks and expensive product recalls.

 

The obvioTec System ensures thorough quality control with real-time, non-destructive inspections, allowing you to verify all components are present without opening. Its advanced technology sees through packages, providing complete assurance without compromising integrity.

 

This cutting-edge GMP solution is particularly suited for high-volume pharmaceutical production, focusing primarily on combination products (injectable drugs, vials, pre-filled syringes (PFS), and autoinjectors).

Business Value

Product Safety: Prevents missing components, reducing patient risk

 

Cost Savings: Minimizes rework and recall expenses

 

Operational Efficiency: Inline, real-time inspection boosts production flow

 

Traceability: Provides a traceable record of each product's inspection through detailed, multi-slice scans - ideal for RCA and claims management

 

obvioTec Inline Inspection System

  • Advanced Inline Inspection: Detects missing components and potential defects through packaging at production speed (up to 120 packages/minute)
  • Package Dimensions (LxWxH) in mm: 300x200x150
  • Detailed Multi-Slice Scans: Captures multiple layered images of each product, ensuring comprehensive detection of all components
  • Reject of packages with missing/wrong/defect components
  • 100% Traceability - image proof visual evidence from content of each package
  • Independent of Weight and Lighting: Delivers consistent, accurate results in all environments
  • Safe for Biologics: Non-ionizing, guaranteeing product safety

 


Pros

  • Multi-Layer Penetration: Penetrate through pharmaceutical secondary
    packaging barriers, including multiple layers of paper, plastic, and carton.
  • Safe Imaging: Unlike X-rays, millimeter waves are non-ionizing, guaranteeing
    safety for both operators and samples without compromising efficiency. Additionally, GHz waves ensures a non-destructive process, preserving the integrity of the samples throughout the process.
  • High Resolution: Details down to a few millimeters can be captured on the lateral plane, with depth profile information as an added benefit.
  • Rapid Acquisition: We offer fast acquisition times, with the system seamlessly integrating with inline solutions (e.g., conveyor belt systems). Unexpectedly, image quality improves when samples are in motion, enhancing efficiency in quality control processes and production.
  • Lighting Stability: Because GHz waves reside far from the visible spectrum, our detection system remains unaffected by fluctuations in lighting conditions within industrial environments.
  • High Reflectivity: Metal and water surfaces result in higher reflection of the wave, unveiling intricate details of metallic parts and detecting leakages of aqueous solutions.
  • Customizable and Modular: Our system can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each customer, featuring modular components for easy integration and scalability, ensuring optimal functionality for diverse applications.

Cons

  • Metal Limitation: While versatile, GHz waves cannot penetrate through metal substrates and water.

Example Application: Final inspection of Sterile Vials in Cup Nest – Nest Completeness Check

Inline, in-process solution

In the final inspection after packaging, ensuring completeness is critical. In a scenario where a vial is missing within a nest covered by an opaque Tyvek and plastic cover, conventional optical cameras falter, unable to penetrate this barrier. We transcend these limitations effortlessly where the system detects the absence of the vial with ease by an algorithm designed for straightforward detection of incomplete nests. It not only identifies the absence of a vial but also provides precise location data, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in quality control processes.

Example Application: Overcoming Visual Camera Limitations in Unstable Lighting Conditions

Inline, - in-process solution

 

In the intricate landscape of production processes, visual cameras encounter a formidable challenge: the ability to detect missing parts amidst unstable lighting conditions or intense light reflection from reflective pieces and surfaces. These environmental factors pose significant obstacles to visual detection, potentially compromising the accuracy and efficacy of quality control measures. We revolutionize this aspect of quality control by operating within an entirely distinct frequency range, unaffected by the influences of unstable lighting or reflective surfaces. An example that underscores the technical superiority of our system lies in its seamless detection of missing components within highly transparent plastic tubes arranged on a plastic tray.
