Automatic inspection systems from OCTUM – safety with no buts.
Since its foundation OCTUM has been supplying inspection systems for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. You will benefit from this many years of experience in an environment where safety is the top priority with every installation. Our inspection systems comply with the GAMP5 guidelines and the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11.
Our systems cover the complete process chain for glass bottles (vials), plastic bottles, ampoules and syringes. They are also well established in the field of surface inspection of wound materials. The recognition of all pharma-specific codes as well as the plain text recognition on labels of all kinds are important components of cross-company track and trace solutions. We support you in meeting the legal requirements throughout the entire pharmaceutical manufacturing process.
