Pharma Leader Safeguards Drug Safety and Brand Reputation with AegisVision

AegisVision was implemented as a custom AI-powered vision solution to transform the client's quality assurance process and mitigate the risks associated with manual inspection.

Implementation Approach

Understanding Rejection Criteria: The team worked closely with the client to understand their specific quality requirements, including the critical rejection criteria of detecting particles as small as 0.15 microns.

Optimized Hardware Setup: Appropriate IP cameras were installed to capture high-resolution images of vials and ampules against both white and black backgrounds.

Custom AI/ML Algorithm Development: A custom AI/ML algorithm was developed using computer vision and pattern recognition techniques to accurately detect foreign particles and defects, even in varying sizes and shapes of vials and ampules.

Seamless Integration: AegisVision was integrated with the client's existing production line and quality control systems for a streamlined workflow.

Key Capabilities

• Automated Visual Inspection: AegisVision automatically inspects vials and ampules, eliminating the need for manual inspection.
• High Accuracy: The AI-powered system surpasses human capabilities in detecting foreign particles and defects, ensuring consistent and reliable quality control.
• Real-time Reporting: Generates real-time reports on inspection results, providing valuable insights into quality trends and potential issues.
• Reduced Manual Errors: The automated system minimizes manual errors and inconsistencies, improving the overall quality of the inspection process.

A Clear Vision for Quality Improvement

The implementation of AegisVision delivered significant benefits:

Enhanced Accuracy: The AI-powered system significantly improved the accuracy of foreign particle and defect detection, exceeding human capabilities and mitigating the risk of adverse drug reactions.
