Program Highlights

Taking place from 25-26 May 2023 in Leipzig, Germany, PDA Europe offers participants an exciting opportunity to develop and refine their practical skills. Various topics related to visual inspection will be covered by leading industry experts in this training course. Please be informed that one of the trainers will support a few modules remotley but will also be available for you for questions remotely.

Visual Inspection mastery is fundamental in parenteral manufacturing in order to guarantee both patient safety and cost effective supply. The capability of Automated Visual Inspection (AVI) has progressed extensively over the years to the point where, when applied appropriately, it can offer significant advantages over manual and semi-automated inspection processes. This has been made possible thanks to major innovations and technology breakthroughs. In line with these technological advances, the regulatory requirements for this challenging process have been reinforced. As a consequence, AVI machines today are complex and require multidisciplinary project teams for successful implementation.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Acquire basics about regulatory landscape for AVI
  • Be ready to design your URS
  • Understand key functions of AVI equipment
  • Define your defect kits and validation strategy
  • Develop your own control strategy around AVI
  • Test normality at a glance, interpret, and communicate the results
  • Have basic knowledge about computer vision
