Design and Development of an Automated Inspection System for Vials
Automated inspection systems are powerful tools that can significantly reduce risk and maintain product standard. At Waters Corporation, the existing packaging process of a certain vial product relies mainly on manual labor. Designing an automated packaging machine is believed to greatly improve both packaging speed and quality. To ensure that the packaging machine produces proper packages, an automated inspection system is designed as the last stage of the packaging machine. Inspection is based on computer vision and image processing enabled by Raspberry Pi and OpenCV. The proposed algorithm is designed to determine if the proper number of vials are present in each package. Moreover, a data-logging and data-transfer channel is developed between the machine and Waters Corporation. Some basic Industry 4.0 features are also loaded so that machine status and operation data can be access remotely in real time. This thesis presents an overview about the automated inspection system, details about the computer vision algorithm as well as the industry 4.0 feature. For other subsystems, please refer to other theses from the 2019 MIT Master of Engineering in Advanced Manufacturing and Design Cohort.
10th International Conference on the Development of Biomedical Engineering in Vietnam
This book presents cutting-edge research and developments in the field of biomedical engineering, with a special emphasis on results achieved in Vietnam and neighboring low- and middle-income countries. Gathering the first volume of the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on The Development of Biomedical Engineering in Vietnam, BME 10, held on July 25-27, 2024, in Phan Thiet, Vietnam, reports on the design, fabrication, and application of low-cost and portable medical devices, biosensors, and microfluidic devices, on improved methods for biological data acquisition and analysis, including applications of artificial intelligence. It also discusses strategies to address some relevant issues in biomedical education and entrepreneurship. A special emphasis is given to advances promoting Healthcare Evolution towards 5P Medicine in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Ecosystem. All in all, this book offers important answers to current challenges in the field and a source of inspiration for scientists, engineers, and researchers with various backgrounds working in different research institutes, companies, and countries.
Quality by Design for Biopharmaceutical Drug Product Development
This volume explores the application of Quality by Design (QbD) to biopharmaceutical drug product development. Twenty-eight comprehensive chapters cover dosage forms, liquid and lyophilized drug products. The introductory chapters of this book define key elements of QbD and examine how these elements are integrated into drug product development. These chapters also discuss lessons learned from the FDA Office of Biotechnology Products pilot program. Following chapters demonstrate how QbD is used for formulation development ranging from screening of formulations to developability assessment to development of lyophilized and liquid formats. The next few chapters study the use of small-scale and surrogate models as well as QbD application to drug product processes such as drug substance freezing and thawing, mixing, sterile filtration, filling, lyophilization, inspection and shipping and handling. Later chapters describe more specialized applications of QbD in the drug product realm. This includes the use of QbD in primary containers, devices and combination product development. The volume also explores QbD applied to vaccine development, automation, mathematical modeling and monitoring, and controlling processes and defining control strategies. It concludes with a discussion on the application of QbD to drug product technology transfer as well as overall regulatory considerations and lifecycle management. Quality by Design for Biopharmaceutical Drug Product Development is an authoritative resource for scientists and researchers interested in expanding their knowledge on QbD principles and uses in creating better drugs.
