Smart RFID labelling enables industry 4.0 efficiencies in identification and management of components, products, machinery and tools
Size matters – particularly in competitive markets such as pharma and nutraceuticals due to its direct result on costs. Tradichems patented Hipering® process begins right at the start of the process chain by miniaturizing the ingredients. Thanks to Piab’s piFLOW®p vacuum conveyor their patented process is continuously fed thus maintaining the required pressure level.
The increasing variety and complexity of parenteral drugs calls for new dimensions in quality assurance. Fully automated inspection technology with a combination of visual inspection and container closure integrity testing (CCIT) offers the highest product and hence patient safety. Pharmaceutical manufacturer CDM Lavoisier decided to change their inspection processes for no less than 30 products in four different packaging formats. They are now all inspected on the new AIM 3000 from Syntegon.
Vision can be deployed in a number of different ways on a food processing line to tell if food is safe to eat and meets the quality standards demanded by retailers. Now the kind of hyperspectral technology that NASA has used to study planets and plant life is being applied to the food that ends up on household plates.
