Pharmaceutical

ConductVision helps pharmaceutical packaging and production teams find leftover items at changeover, count bottles in each case and check dispensing staff for gloves, masks and goggles.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing occurs in environments where regulatory documentation requirements are extensive, contamination risks are critical, and product serialization must be verified at every stage. Visual inspection of vials, tablets, syringes, and packaging involves detecting defects that are subtle, varied, and consequential for patient safety. ConductVision's technology can provide visual analytics tailored to pharmaceutical production environments, including cleanroom behavior monitoring, inline product inspection, serialization verification, and packaging line quality checks. All detection events can be timestamped and archived.

Outcomes

What your team gets

Line clearance with a still

Before each new batch, operators clear the packaging line of cartons, labels and bottles from the last one.

One leftover carton or bottle can end up packed with the next batch.

How
In a pilot, ConductVision checks line-clearance views for bottles, cartons and labels left on the line.
You get
A dated still of each cleared line, with any leftover item marked for the second checker.

PPE in dispensing booths

Operators in weighing and dispensing booths handle open powders, often alone on a shift.

A missing mask or glove there goes unseen when the operator works alone.

How
ConductVision checks each person in the booth for gloves, a mask and goggles while they are in view.
You get
PPE rates per booth and shift, with a clip of each gap.

Bottle counts at the packing table

Small-batch packing tables rely on the operator's tally of bottles in each case.

A miscount ships a short or over-full case that the customer finds first.

How
In a pilot, ConductVision counts the bottles in each open case before it is sealed.
You get
A count and a still for every case, with a flag when the count differs from the case size.

The challenge

Pharmaceutical production environments require documentation of virtually every process step, yet visual monitoring of cleanroom behaviors and packaging quality still depends heavily on manual observation and sampling. Serialization verification at high line speeds strains legacy vision systems, and novel drug formats like pre-filled syringes present unique inspection challenges.

Our approach

ConductVision can run continuous cleanroom behavior monitoring to document gowning compliance, aseptic technique adherence, and intervention events. Inline inspection models can verify fill levels, particulate contamination, label accuracy, and serialization codes at production speed.

Endpoints

What a pilot measures

Each endpoint is defined before the pilot starts, with what is counted, its unit and how the results are broken down.

How we check the model

Each pilot measures ConductVision on your own footage against a sample checked by hand, before anyone relies on its numbers.

  • Leftover item recall

    Share of leftover items a reviewer finds in sampled clearance stills that ConductVision also marked.

    % · by line, item type

  • Bottle count agreement

    Difference between the ConductVision count and a reviewer's hand count on sampled case stills.

    bottles per case (mean absolute difference) · by line

  • False PPE alerts

    PPE alerts a reviewer rejects, per booth per day.

Use cases

Where teams put it to work

Cleanroom Behavior Monitoring

Cameras in classified cleanroom areas can document gowning compliance, aseptic technique during interventions, and personnel flow patterns. Events can be timestamped, providing objective documentation for quality investigations.

Serialization and Aggregation Verification

High-speed cameras can read and verify serial numbers, lot codes, expiration dates, and 2D barcodes on individual units, bundles, cases, and pallets. Verification data can be matched against serialization databases to confirm accuracy and completeness.

Vial and Syringe Inspection

Cameras can inspect fill levels, stopper seating, crimp integrity, and visible particulate matter in liquid products. Pre-filled syringe inspection can verify plunger position, needle shield presence, and label placement.

Packaging Line Quality

Blister pack cameras can verify tablet presence, correct count, and absence of broken or chipped tablets. Carton cameras can confirm leaflet presence, correct product-to-carton matching, and tamper-evident seal application.

Environmental Monitoring Documentation

Visual records of cleanroom conditions, equipment status, and personnel activities can provide supplementary documentation for environmental monitoring programs. Time-stamped imagery can support deviation investigations and regulatory audit responses.
