BARCODING LABELLING & PACKAGING

During the performance qualification, which is part of the qualification of new machines in the pharmaceutical environment, the project managers involved were surprised by the extremely high specificity of the FHV7. “We could not believe how extremely reliable the OMRON FHV7 inspection system is. As part of the challenge testing, we deliberately introduced mislabels, all of which were reliably detected – but with a throughput of several 10,000 labels, not a single good label was incorrectly read as a bad label,” reports Wegner. Even single faulty units could cause a lot of trouble in the GMP environment. By using the new camera, such situations do not occur, and the machine outages caused by the incorrect reading of actual good units can also be prevented. Another advantage of the OMRON camera, in addition to its hardware, is the software, which is intuitive to use and does not require lengthy training. “I also really like the option of a customizable user interface, and so do the users. There is only one window in which, for example, the target code, batch designation and expiration date can be entered. Code verification and Optical Character Validation (OCV) can also be performed. It’s all very clear and simple,” explains Wegner. The software runs on any current Windows system and communicates directly with the FHV7 via the local network. Wegner also praises the high inspection speed of the OMRON system. The complex individual inspection of a label takes just 80 milliseconds: “That’s impressively fast.”

INSPECTION SYSTEM AND SUPPORT
“We are very satisfied with both the new labeller and especially OMRON’s inspection technology. In a highly regulated environment such as the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturers must be able to fully rely on the technology that is used – also to be able to successfully complete the qualification. This is the case with us,” Managing Director Wegner sums up. “The cooperation with the sales and application team was and is also excellent.” Since the company has had such a good experience with OMRON, it is planned to convert an existing packaging machine to OMRON inspection technology within the near future.
