Print control, label control, verification and tracking in the pharmaceutical packaging process.
PCE 360° Inspection is a modular all-in-one solution for quality management of cylindrical objects in the pharmaceutical industry.

Various quality relevant characteristics can be verified: Verification of imprints - such as product-, batch- or serialnumber as plain text and/or 2D code - prevents mix-ups within the production process. The control of aluminium caps, presence of sealing plugs and intactness of the seal ensures integrity and decontamination of the primary packaging.

The serialised tracking of single units also complies with the latest requirements of international Track & Trace guidelines for primary packaging by collecting serialized information directly on the primary package or on the label. In order to achieve this, the complete surface of the un-oriented bottle will be scanned by a multi-camera-system on the fly during the production process. Depending on specific requirements additional camera systems will read from top or bottom and analyse relevant characteristics which could be applied either as visible or invisible (e.g. UV-ink) code.

Highlights

• Applicable for vials, bottles, tubes and stable, cylindrical containers on conveyors or star wheels
• Module of PCE Track & Trace system for collection of serialized data
• System is operated by Pharmacontrol PILOT software
• Prevention of product- and batch mix-ups in the field of primary packaging (Bright stock concepts)
• Registration of primary packaging within the internal supply chain
• Verification and quality control of printings on the perimeter, on covers (from top, lateral), on the bottom (from below) – adequate product guidance required
• Barcode reading (linear code and 2D-code) and plain text reading (OCV/OCR
• Product measurement and presence control of characteristics (e.g. plug, label)
• Contamination control on the perimeter (e.g. on label)
• Recognition of invisible code on the perimeter and from top/below
• Easy to integrate in existing lines due to retrofit on existing conveyor or as stand-alone station
