Vision Systems for Syringe Inspections The main objectives of the project were to provide vision systems to reliably inspect syringe body closure gap sizes, to aid in ensuring integrity of the product and to conduct label OCV inspection. The new vision systems designed, configured, installed and validated by Industrial Technology Systems Ltd’s engineers, have provided a means of inspecting the gap to a tolerance of 1/8 mm and the preprinted and overprinted information on the labels, before their application to the syringe. This information includes component placement verification, batch and expiry data and pharmacode recognition. A major requirement of AstraZeneca was that the new vision systems installed were easy to operate and that the initial batch set-up process was simple, to reduce
