Designed for complex vial inspection environments

Our solutions support different production scenarios with consistent defect detection, traceability and validation-ready documentation.

Benefits

High-throughput alignment

Scale automated visual inspection with fast production lines while maintaining product quality even when switching between liquid and lyophilized vials.

Consistent cross-format inspection

Adjust inspection logic based on liquid or lyophilized products to ensure reliable, consistent decisions across vial formats.

Standardized quality and governance

Establish stable inspection outcomes across shifts and production sites using versioned recipes, unified interfaces, and documented change control.

Reduced re-inspection

Reduce false ejects and improve detection accuracy for challenging defect classes with AI-enabled inspection.

Faster changeovers for high-mix production

Reduce setup time for different vial formats and production cycles with recipe libraries and modular station concepts.

Validation-ready operation

Simplify inspection processes and regulatory approvals during changes with traceability and audit trails.

Integrated inspection pathways

Support automated, flexible small batch, semi-automated, and digital AI-driven inspection setups.

Digital twin-based configuration

Create and adjust inspection settings using a digital twin that supports testing with real image data without interrupting production.

Vial inspection for every production environment

Explore how our solutions support different production scenarios, ensuring consistent defect detection, traceability and validation. 

  • Commercial production: Maintains synchronized inspection with filling lines for liquid vial campaigns while ensuring stable particle and cosmetic detection.  

  • Lyophilized biologics: Targets cake surface, closure integrity, and cosmetic inspection without reducing throughput or governance consistency.  

  • Clinical and pilot lots: Supports off-line parameter adjustments and controlled deployment to reduce the need for physical test batches and production downtime.

  • Sampling and training: Supports standardized sampling and operator training using semi-automatic and lab configurations without occupying production systems.
