01 / The challenge

A missed defect can mean a recall

A missed defect on the blister line or a lapse in PPE compliance can lead to recalls, regulatory action, or patient harm. Strips move continuously, so inspection has to keep pace with the line and leave a record that stands up in an audit.

02 / How it works

Camera-based inspection on the line

What happens to each strip, from the camera to the supervisor.

Step 01

Watch the line

A camera above the conveyor streams every strip as it passes.

Step 02

Locate

Object detection finds the tablets and pockets on each strip.

Step 03

Judge

A vision-language model confirms the defect and names its type.

Step 04

Record

Each flagged event is saved with a timestamp and image, creating an audit-ready inspection trail.

Step 05

Summarise

A written quality summary describes the line and what was found.

Step 06

Act

Supervisors get immediate visibility, so they can intervene before a defect moves downstream.

From the Line

Every strip checked as it passes

Annotated footage of blister strips moving on the conveyor. Empty pockets are boxed in red as missing; broken tablets are boxed in amber.

Close on the strips

Each pocket, up close

Strips leave the sealer and every pocket is checked. An empty pocket is boxed as missing, a cracked tablet as broken.

Three lanes

Three lanes, one camera

A single camera over three lanes flags missing and broken tablets on whichever strip they turn up on.

The Impact

Every Strip Inspected. Every Defect on Record.

Korv Glanz extends the reach of quality and safety teams with continuous, real-time AI vision, without disrupting the workflows pharma manufacturers already run on.
