Growing production capacities, complex manufacturing processes and high production speeds are changing the pharmaceutical landscape across the world. At the same time, increasingly strict safety regulations underlie the production of pharmaceuticals. They determine highest product quality to protect patients from contaminated medicine. Manufacturers are able to meet this challenge by using future-orientated inspection technologies.
Complying with strictest quality and safety regulations is particularly important for parenteral products filled in vials, ampoules, syringes and cartridges, while other liquid pharmaceuticals and solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules) must also undergo thorough inspection. Sophisticated inspection technologies are used, for instance, in the development of biotech products and anticancer treatments. They are able to evaluate processes in real time, to detect and quantify process- or component-related defects and to take corrective actions.
