Quality assurance of injection vials is a top priority in the pharmaceutical glass packaging industry. Even the slightest material defects or impurities in the glass can jeopardize the safety of the packaged medication and, in the worst case, lead to batch recalls.
Manual spot checks were error-prone and incomplete. Defective vials could go undetected, leading to recalls. Entire batches had to be discarded on suspicion - driving up costs and hindering the production flow.
The AI-based system automatically checks each vial during ongoing production. Errors are reliably detected and defective containers are ejected directly. This reduces rejects and complaints and increases product quality - without slowing down the production process.
Inaccuracy: Only part of the production is checked; the detection rate is only 60-90%, depending on the person.
Precision: Every single vial is inspected in real time with high accuracy, even difficult to detect errors are reliably detected.
High costs: If a defect is detected, an entire batch often has to be inspected or discarded, resulting in rework, rejects and delays.
Cost reduction: If a defect is detected, an entire batch often has to be tested or discarded, which causes rework, rejects and delays.
Product failures: Faulty vials can go undetected, leading to complaints or recalls - with risks to patient safety and reputation.
Production stability: The inspection is fully integrated, does not interrupt the production flow and increases throughput and overall productivity.
