    Quick Answer

    NeoBram delivers GxP-aligned visual inspection AI for pharma manufacturing - tablet, capsule, vial, ampoule, blister and carton inspection with full 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails, validation documentation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and integration with MES, LIMS and QMS.

    Why This Matters

    Visual Inspection Is A GxP-Critical Bottleneck.

    Pharma visual inspection - particulates in vials, tablet defects, blister fill, carton coding - is one of the most regulated and labour-intensive steps in manufacturing. Manual inspection caps at ~85% reliability and cannot scale with batch sizes.

    Modern AI visual inspection achieves 99%+ catch rates for particulates in injectables, tablet defects and packaging errors, with full traceability and audit trails that satisfy FDA, EMA and CDSCO inspections.

    We deploy production-grade systems with full GxP validation support - URS, FAT/SAT, IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, computer system validation per GAMP 5, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trails. Models, datasets and inference are all version-controlled and validated.

    Architecture Deep-Dive

    How We Build It

    Injectable particulate inspection

    Detect glass, fibre, metal and proteinaceous particulates in vials, ampoules and pre-filled syringes at line speed - replacing or augmenting manual 100% inspection.

    • Sub-50 micron particulate detection in clear and amber containers
    • Air-bubble vs particulate discrimination
    • Container defects (cracks, scratches, fill level)
    • Stopper / cap presence and seating

    Tablet & capsule defect detection

    Detect chips, cracks, capping, lamination, foreign matter, embossing defects and colour variation on tablets and capsules at high throughput.

    • Chips, cracks, capping, lamination, sticking
    • Embossing and break-line verification
    • Colour and coating uniformity
    • Foreign-matter contamination

    Packaging & serialisation verification

    Blister fill check, carton coding (batch, expiry, serial), leaflet presence and label/artwork verification - aligned with EU FMD and DSCSA serialisation.

    • Blister cavity fill and tablet integrity
    • Carton batch / expiry / serial OCR & verification
    • Label artwork match against approved master
    • Leaflet presence and orientation

    GxP-validated MLOps

    Versioned, signed models with dataset lineage, IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, change-control workflow and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trails for every inspection decision.

    • URS / FAT / SAT / IQ / OQ / PQ documentation
    • GAMP 5 software categorisation and validation
    • 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail of every decision
    • Change control for model retraining
