Objectives

It is the aim of this event to inform about the possibilities and limitations of Artificial Intelligence in the automated visual inspection of parenterals. In addition, Good Machine Learning Practices throughout the entire process will be explained and solutions will be presented on how AI projects can be established and validated in a riskbased and traceable manner in the GMP environment.

Background

The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly interested in AI for the visual inspection of parenterals to optimize and enhance process efficacy. However, the lack of specific regulatory requirements for AI validation poses challenges from a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) perspective, such as data representativeness, model design, and data integrity throughout the product lifecycle.
In visual inspection, AI aims to improve efficiency by reducing the false acceptance rate (FAR) of defect units and the false reject rate (FRR) of good units, which together determine the misclassification rate and the inspection process‘s effectiveness. A high FAR is associated with a possible quality risk, while the FRR is a measure of the economic damage of the selected control process.
Despite its potential, the FDA‘s guidance on automated systems mentions AI only briefly, highlighting the need for comprehensive regulation and addressing technical challenges like training, domain knowledge, and data quality. Implementing AI systems requires specialized expertise, precise data labelling, and cloud computing for model training.
At this online conference, we will be focussing on GMP regulation and technical aspects. Questions such as
  • Does an automatic AI solution eliminate the need for manual visual inspection?
  • When does the use of Artificial Intelligence make sense?
  • What expectations can be placed on the achievable false
  • reject rates of AI-supported inspection systems?
  • Are there applications or technical limitations that even AI-supported systems cannot solve?
  • How does a project to switch to AI-based visual inspection work?
  • What GMP authority requirements are there for such systems?
will be discussed and possible solutions presented.

Target Group

The target group for this event are specialists and managers in the pharmaceutical industry from the fields of engineering, production and quality assurance who are involved in the organisation or operation of visual inspection. This conference is also aimed at suppliers involved in the development and automation of inspection systems.

Technical Requirements

We use Webex for our live online training courses and webinars. At https://www.gmp-compliance.org/training/online-training-technical-information you will find all the information you need to participate in our events and you can check if your system meets the necessary requirements to participate. If the installation of browser extensions is not possible due to your rights in the IT system, please contact your IT department. Webex is a standard nowadays and the necessary Installation is fast and easy.
