A-Eye clearance

A-eye clearance is the new AI-powered automated technology for faster and more efficient processes of line clearance. A solution that combines software and hardware components to streamline the changeover times and improve the quality process of your packaging lines, passing from manual to paperless and automated line clearance processes.

A-eye clearance solution is based on powerful proprietary software using Artificial Intelligence techniques to deeply understand the scene and highlight only the real issues, evaluating every critical area under the most different lights and environmental condition. The system is therefore very smart and does not compare pixels but images, automatically recognizing out-of-place objects in different positions and light conditions. A-eye clearance makes use of cameras and sensors to improve the operational efficiency and reduce the clearance and changeover times: the system overcome the human capabilities performing the controls even in low light conditions or in difficult to reach areas and give the overall view of the whole line instantaneously. Each scene can be controlled by multiple cameras at the same time. The software integrates automation libraries that allows to coordinate the movement of the mechanical parts of the machine before the images acquisition. This feature grants complete control of all the machine surfaces, even on covered and hidden areas. In addition to cameras and sensors, scanners are used to manually verify those operations that do not require cameras, but which require managed and recorded control by the operator.

How the system works. The 3 phases of Line Clearance procedure:

1 - Clearing phase

During the clearing phase, the operator is guided through a step-by-step procedure to check and remove all the previous batch-related items. This procedure helps the operator and is repeated for each control point. Each operator progress and action are digitally recorded.

2 - Cleaning phase

During the cleaning phase, the operator is helped by a step-by-step guided procedure. Each operator’s progress and action is digitally recorded.


3 – AI Powered automatic checking phase

The final phase of line clearance is the checking phase. A-eye clearance offers an automatic procedure based on the use of the best detection tools. The user-friendly interface allows to have everything under control. The detection points that have an anomalous status are highlighted in a visual map shown on display. In this way, the operator is alerted and can see the exact detection point on the map, watch the latest image acquired and check the instructions to easily solve the issues preventing human errors that can occur in this phase.

Smart document system

To help the operator carry out all phases, A-eye clearance provides the Smart Document System, a set of manuals, pictures, and videos that the operator can consult for precise instructions on how to perform each single action, exactly at the moment which it needs. This aspect strengthens usability even by non-expert operators, thus making the customer more independent, and reducing training hours.

QA automated reports that gives digital evidence of the processes

The system automatically collects information and digital evidence for every performed phase and action (both automatic and manual). At the end of the process the data collected are used for the creation of automatic and personalized QA reports.

Pharma specific

The system is compliant with pharma industry regulations. User access is regulated by FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11. All events are registered by the software in an Audit Trail file. Software development follows Gamp 5 guidelines for products including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
