Success Stories

AVI Machine for a Highly Viscous Drug

A Korean biotech company engaged us to deliver an automatic machine that could inspect syringes filled with a very viscous drug at 200 pieces per minute.

The challenge

Viscous products and gels are becoming frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry for a wide range of areas. They are characterized as difficult-to-inspect products due to the increasing molecular weight and concentration of the drugs themselves.

The solution

After accurately evaluating the product, the container and the defects the customer wanted to identify, our team designed and manufactured a machine featuring advanced inspection technologies to ensure the optimal detection of cosmetic defects and particles.

Scratches are quite frequent in POC syringes, and the pharma companies are extremely sensitive to cosmetic defects. By adjusting the lighting patterns and using trajectory algorithms, we were able to identify even the thinnest scratches and distinguish them from small particles, such as white fibers.

With the same acumen, we leveraged our expertise to find the best-suited technique to spot particles. When dealing with a highly viscous product or a gel, inspection can’t rely on spinning the liquid to move the contaminants and using the motion as a differentiator when the container stops in front of the camera. For this reason, we rotated the container 360° degrees to track all the potential particles visible.
