In the pharmaceutical industry, the drug production process has been given high requirements, no matter which link is not allowed to appear a little mistake, therefore, also need people to do a lot of testing work in the production link. So much effort, of course, if all by manpower to achieve not only low efficiency, and error-prone, so want to improve work efficiency, reduce the error rate, and reduce overall operating costs, more and more companies began to adopt intelligent camera inspection on production of medicines in the process of moving, tags and validated.

As a global leader in automated data acquisition and industrial automation, Datalogic offers a wide range of efficient automated inspection solutions and intelligent inspection equipment, including Datalogic A30 smart cameras.

A30 series smart camera
Benefit express A30
Datalogic A30 series smart cameras are universal independent products with high cost performance. Its housing is rated up to IP67, perfect for harsh industrial environments, and includes a VGA(640×480) CCD imager, built-in discrete I/O, and Ethernet and serial ports. In addition, the Impact software from Datalogic provides flexible programming for all machine vision applications, such as assembly verification, code reading/verification, needle/syringe, blister packaging, packaging/seal verification, filters, glass bottles, contact lenses, and tray counts inside bottles.

Application example: The filling quantity detection of liquid medicine
In order to ensure the safety of drug use, the government strictly regulates the production behavior of drug manufacturers. Each product must be carefully monitored and controlled during manufacturing or assembly to ensure the quality of the product. The A30 series smart camera can quickly and efficiently detect the amount of liquid in a clear bottle, ensuring that the bottle is filled to specified specifications, while eliminating waste and additional costs resulting from overfilling or underfilling.

As shown in the figure above, the volume of liquid in the vial is shown using a background plate in conjunction with A30 imaging.
Green box: indicates that the test has passed
Red box: there is a nonconformance test
The above application examples show that Datalogic A30 series intelligent cameras can perfectly solve the problem of high error rate and low efficiency of drug detection.

Today’s pharmaceutical manufacturing requires high-performance solutions to ensure safety and accurate product tracking at every stage of the manufacturing process. Datalogic’s solutions, including smart cameras, vision systems, laser marking systems and stationary scanners, have been widely used by pharmaceutical companies to inspect, label and validate drugs on the move and have been recognized by the pharmaceutical industry.
