Introduction
In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring quality control in the manufacturing of soft gelatin capsules is critical. However, manufacturers often face challenges such as shape deformation, air bubbles, leaks, discoloration, and other surface defects, which can compromise product quality and increase production waste. These issues often go undetected until large batches have already been produced, risking potential recalls and regulatory issues.
The Challenges of Defects on Soft Gelatin Capsules
Defects in soft gelatin capsules not only affect quality but also pose serious risks for consumers. Some of the key challenges manufacturers faces are:
DeepInspect : FDA CFR 21 P 11 Complaint Software for Gelatin Capsule Manufacturers
Key Components of the DeepInspect Setup
DeepInspect Software: The AI-powered system at the heart of inspection.
Industrial Controller: Equipped with an i5 processor and GPU for fast data processing.
Industrial Vision Lights & Camera: Ensure high-quality images for precise defect detection.
DeepInspect is an AI-powered visual quality inspection software designed to help Gelatin capsule manufacturers identify a wide range of surface defects with exceptional precision. Utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms, DeepInspect helps achieve a remarkable 99.5% accuracy in defect detection, elevating quality control processes and ensuring product consistency.
How Does AI Powered Oil Filter Inspection Using Deep Inspect Works?
The inspection system positions an industrial camera above the capsule conveyor, while lighting is placed below the transparent conveyor belt to illuminate the capsules, ensuring clear image capture. This setup can process 2,000 capsules per minute, achieving an effective throughput of 1.2 lakh capsules per hour, ensuring 100% inspection at high speed for continuous real-time monitoring.
As the capsules move along a slanted conveyor while the DeepInspect system monitors for defects such as air bubbles, double capsules, black spots, satellites, and shape deformations with unparalleled 99.5% accuracy. When defects exceed a preset threshold, an alert is triggered, enabling immediate corrective action.
Impact of DeepInspect on Gelatin Capsule Manufacturing Quality and Efficiency
By implementing DeepInspect, soft gelatin capsule manufacturers can proactively detect production losses and ensure only high-quality capsules reach the market.
