Blispect for pharmaceutical producer – BIOFARM
BIOFARM is a Polish pharmaceutical manufacturer with a long tradition.
The client expected full integration of the machine vision system with the blistering machine while maintaining the existing functions of the blistering machine.
At KSM Vision, thanks to the smart construction and customized hardware of the Blispect system we managed to meet these requirements – integrating the Blispect vision system with the CAM and IMA blistering machines while maintaining operations at full efficiency.
The BLISPECT system implemented at BIOFARM offers:
– inspection of tablets and capsules packed in blisters
– two-color capsules and capsules with prints
The solution prepared for BIOFARM meets GAMP-5 & Audit Trail requirements.

Project scope
The BLISPECT system integration at BIOFARM service included:
– designing a solution to maintain the functionality and efficiency of the existing blistering machine
– using an proprietary image visioning solution base on the neural network architecture – thanks to that training the system for new formats takes a minute
– use of feature extraction based on neural networks for the analysis of two-color capsules and printed capsules
– detection of defects in size as small as 15% of the tablet/capsule surface
– controlling the sensitivity of the system using only one parameter “tolerance”, which sets the threshold between good capsules/tablets and defective ones
– minimizing line changeover time while maintaining the accuracy of data analysis
– very easy to use system which translates both to faster introduction/training of new operators, and production downtime reduction
– integration of rejection stations for defective products
