Pharmaceutical bottle packaging – the quest for zero defects
This article shares the results from an evaluation of a novel thermal imaging technology that took place before the initial implementation in a Pfizer manufacturing facility. The manuscript describes the technology and reviews the extensive process used to challenge its inspection capabilities through field testing. Finally, the potential benefits of adopting this first-in-class pharmaceutical technology as a new standard for non-destructive testing 1,2 of bottle induction sealing integrity in the pharmaceutical industry is summarised. HIGH-RESOLUTION, cryogenically cooled thermal imaging tec...
