Automatic Inspection Systems

Online inspection is an important component of the packaging process. Especially in case of medicines, one has to be really cautious because even a trivial error may result in serious consequences. One of the major issues faced in the packing of medicines is what the pharmaceutical industry refers to as "mix-ups", that is medicines being packed in a different packaging than the one that is meant for them.

Automatic inspection systems can be used to check the products against the packaging and ensure that there are no mix-ups. But due to the scale of operations in the pharmaceutical industry, this packaging inspection needs to be carried out at great speeds, without compromising on accuracy. Aiika is Propix's answer to this problem faced by the pharmaceutical industry.

"Aiika", which means "checking" in Sanskrit, checks the integrity of every component of the medicine pack, including the blister pack (print on the aluminium foil), the insert (both sides of the informative leaflet) and the outer carton (that carries the blisters and inserts). This camera based inspection tool is hence, a valuable quality assurance tool for the pharmaceutical industry.
