IMA Active, a division of IMA Group dedicated to the production of automated systems and machinery for the pharmaceutical industry, recently upgraded its continuous tablet-coating solution with the installation of OMRON's vision system equipped with a high-speed colour camera and dome light. The result: a highly accurate assessment of coating uniformity, both in terms of the surface of the individual tablet and across all the tablets collectively.
In order to move from the traditional batch approach toward continuous production, the pharmaceutical industry is constantly looking for technological solutions whereby processes can be monitored in real time.
