Maximizing Cost Efficiency with Flexible Configuration for Small-Scale Automated Visual Inspection

Achieving cost efficiency in pharmaceutical production depends on a system’s ability to adapt quickly to changing requirements. From handling different container formats to adjusting for varying production demands, manufacturers need an inspection solution that minimizes downtime and operational costs. The EVO CAX inspection system meets these needs with a highly adaptable configuration, seamlessly integrating into any production environment while maintaining exceptional cost efficiency.

The EVO CAX accommodates vials ranging from 2R to 30R, regardless of filling level - whether liquid-filled or lyophilized. Thanks to the static optical path WILCO OptiX™, format changes no longer require extensive setup adjustments. Changeovers can be handled quick and easy. This means fewer production interruptions and reduced labor costs, translating into a more efficient and therefore also cost optimized inspection process.

Developing and validating new product recipes can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. The EVO CAX reduces this burden by utilizing AI-supported baselines, which streamline the development and validation process. Once created, recipes can be saved and retrieved at a later time, allowing for consistent and repeatable inspection processes. Faster recipe development cycles means quicker product launches, improved production efficiency, and lower operational costs, ensuring manufacturers can meet market demands without unnecessary delays.

Space constraints can be an issue in pharmaceutical manufacturing. With a footprint of just 2.5 x 1.15 x 2.25 meters, the EVO CAX is designed to fit effortlessly into existing production areas. The EVO only requires a power connection and can therefore be put into operation immediately. Its compact design and integrated castors make it easy to transport within the building and through any door. This allows for flexible repositioning, allowing manufacturers to optimize their workflow without costly infrastructure modifications.

Beyond flexible configuration, EVO CAX is designed to minimize manual handling, further contributing to cost efficiency. In the event of an emergency stop only a few in-process samples (typically 3-4) require reinspection, significantly reducing workload and operational expenses. In the event of an emergency stop, the recovery process is simple, requiring almost no manual intervention, which eliminates unnecessary downtime and ensures smooth, uninterrupted production.

By offering a highly adaptable, easy-to-configure system, the EVO CAX allows you to optimize costs during your inspection process. Its ability to handle different sample sizes, switch formats effortlessly, and accelerate recipe development makes it an ideal choice for companies looking to scale efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards.
