Claims10
A method for identifying and rejecting non-compliant single-dose capsules from at least one group of single-dose capsules, comprising:
- optically inspecting at least one of a first water-soluble film and a second water-soluble film of said at least one group of single-dose capsules so as to acquire images of said at least one group of single-dose capsules, after said at least one group of single-dose capsules has been subjected to one or more stresses,
- identifying at least one non-compliant single-dose capsule in said at least one group of single-dose capsules from said acquired images, and
- rejecting said at least one non-compliant single-dose capsule in said at least one group of single-dose capsules.
A system for identifying and rejecting non-compliant single-dose capsules in at least one group of single-dose capsules, comprising:
- a vision device configured to optically inspect at least one of a first water-soluble film and a second water-soluble film of said at least one group of single-dose capsules so as to acquire images after said at least one group of single-dose capsules has been subjected to one or more stresses,
- an electronic control unit configured to identify at least one non-compliant single-dose capsule in said at least one group of single-dose capsules from said acquired images, and
- a rejection device configured to reject at least said non-compliant single-dose capsule in said at least one group of single-dose capsules.
