Technical Note (For Pharmaceutical)

IoT: The Internet of Things can help to improve quality and productivity in a variety of areas. As the IoT wave spreads to the pharmaceutical industry, it is expected to serve as a means of solving a variety of issues. We will discuss the current status of IoT in the industry and solutions based on inspection data from an X-ray inspection system.

With the system’s improving accuracy year after year, the inspection using X-ray Inspection systems has been introduced in a variety of industries as an effective means of contaminant detection.

For example, X-ray inspection systems are employed for sensory tests such as conventional palpation, and effectively contributing to labor saving. Manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry have applied X-ray inspection systems to inspect the inside of the package of non-transmissive materials, which is not feasible with the conventional optical inspection system.

X-ray inspection systems of late years being incorporated to IoT system continue growing to deliver further advanced quality control.

Part 1 of 2 of this subject, you will find various usage of Anritsu’s X-ray inspection system, more than detecting contaminating foreign bodies.

Recently, data management during production becomes increasingly important. You may often hear the phrase "FDA 21 CFR Part11".
Take a look at what it is and what Anritsu can do for that.

Anritsu's capsule checkweighers have achieved the industry's highest weighing precision* of ±0.5 mg. Here, we will describe the background as to why there is a demand for high precision mass inspections and also provide an explanation of the newly developed balance used in our capsule checkweigher.

* The highest weighing precision of ±0.5 mg is based on our survey results.

Cameras are commonly used for quality inspection of pharmaceutical products, but are you aware of X-ray inspection systems for the internal inspection of pharmaceutical products? X-ray inspection systems are preeminent in the inspection of non-transparent packaged drugs. However, we understand that many people are concerned about the effects of X-rays on the quality and/or physical properties of pharmaceutical products when they consider introducing such a system into their facilities. For this reason, we will discuss the effects of X-ray inspection on pharmaceutical products.
