BACK TO ALL PRODUCTSThe QualiShield® BS12-AI is a compact, AI-driven blister inspection system designed to integrate seamlessly with various blister-packaging machines. It detects a full range of potential product defects in blister packs, ensuring compliance with stringent quality standards. The BS12-AI supports the integration of multiple cameras within a single controller, plus an additional camera for barcode, pharmacode, or batch-detail inspection.
Unlike conventional systems that rely on threshold-based image processing with high dependency on product-foil contrast, QualiShield® BS12-AI works on sophisticated anomaly detection algorithms. By removing such dependency, this AI-powered system delivers superior inspection reliability across diverse packaging materials and product types. By automating inspection and learning from production data, it maximises efficiency, minimises product defects, and reduces the risk of costly recalls.
Applications
Inspection of blister-packed tablets, hard, soft, and printed capsules, especially in low-contrast and complex product-foil combinations
| Features | Benefits | |
|---|---|---|
Advanced AI/ML capabilities that help in the automatic pocket detection within the field of view (FOV) and threshold range detection | Significantly lower ‘teaching’ time | |
High-speed inspection capabilities with an impressive teach time of just 2-3 minutes for any product-foil combination | Translates to high OEE | |
Optimised for the inspection of challenging surfaces (like white-on-white and grey-on-grey products) where standard systems often fall short | Ensures consistent quality control for complex products, reducing the risk of overlooked defects | |
Auto-teach and auto-adjust functions accommodate variations (such as foil shades) | Simplifies the inspection process, enabling quick setup and creation of models | |
Provides insight into recurring trends | Creates heatmaps that clearly indicate defect-prone areas | |
Integrated LDAP for centralised user access control | Facilitates a secure, streamlined approach to user management, enhancing system security and making it easier to control access | |
Compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 and EudraLex Volume 4: Annex 11 | Regulatory-compliant and audit-friendly |
