「The Company has successfully developed a method for ultrahigh-speed, nondestructive and noncontact inspection of tablet contents and is continuing development with the aim of achieving a processing capacity of 300,000 tablets per hour.」
For the tablet-content inspection system, nondestructive and noncontact inspection was successfully achieved, and development is continuing with a target processing capacity of 300,000 tablets per hour. The next-generation image-processing unit is also expected to support GPUs and is scheduled for release shortly. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「Development of the AI inspection function for printing on the TVIS-NS-GF tablet visual inspection system was completed, and the Company delivered the system to customers.」
In addition to completing development of the AI inspection function and delivering it to customers, development progressed in pharmaceutical and electronic-component inspection, including completion of the design of a machine compatible with both tablets and capsules and development of a high-speed image-transfer platform. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「For image-processing systems, the Company focused on enhancing the AI functions of the V-IPU image-processing unit, the core shared by its inspection systems, improving detection performance and processing capacity. Combining conventional rule-based image processing with AI further improved performance and reduced the false-positive rate. The Company also nearly doubled AI processing speed and, by installing it in inspection systems, successfully increased system processing capacity by 25%.」
AI image processing was accelerated and inspection-system processing capacity was increased by 25%. Development of the TVIS-NSR tablet visual inspection machine for overseas markets was also completed. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「Development of the new TVIS-NS-GF tablet visual inspection system was completed and the system was launched on the market. It has a processing capacity of 800,000 tablets per hour, among the highest in the world, with further improvements to cleanability and stability. For electronic-component visual inspection systems, development of separate models for domestic and overseas markets equipped with AI technology was completed, and orders were secured.」
The new tablet visual inspection system was launched on the market, with a processing capacity of 800,000 tablets per hour. Development of the AI-equipped electronic-component visual inspection model was completed and orders were secured. - FY2017AdvancedAnnual report
「As a pharmaceutical solution, the Company newly developed an inspection machine for blister packaging machines and will launch it on the market from fiscal 2017. This inspection system simultaneously inspects printing defects and foreign matter trapped in PTP-packaged tablets or capsules and on PTP sheets. By offering these 3 pharmaceutical products, the Company aims to provide a total solution covering the printing, inspection and packaging processes and expand its market share further.」
Development and market launches progressed for models equipped with VCR inspection, product registration software, inspection machines for blister packaging machines and models equipped with CMOS cameras, making cross-process proposals based on 3 pharmaceutical products more concrete. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「For visual inspection equipment for electronic components, the Company developed its 3D inspection technology cultivated through tablet inspection equipment and exhibited at Internepcon a system capable of measuring thickness with repeatability of 2 μm. The system received a strong response.」
The disclosure describes several development achievements, including improvements and upgrades to tablet inspection equipment, low-cost models, and single-sided and double-sided tablet printing machines.
