The project aimed at
applying and integrating Siemens Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID), Machine Vision, Industrial
Communication Network (including wireless communication)
and Controllers into a pharmaceutical production line in
an innovative way. It simulated the production processes
in a pharmaceutical factory. The medicine is pumped into
the dispensing system and in turn is dispensed into
clean empty bottles to a preset level. The bottles will
pass the quality control process by machine vision
system. Product information such as the date of
manufacture, expiry date, volume and ingredients were
input in the labels which are the tags of RFID system.
All this information can be retrieved at a later stage
of the production/supply chain which enables the
tracking of the information on each batch of medicine.
