June 3, 2009 — Microscan introduces the new I-PAK SE, a complete turnkey solution designed specifically for pharmaceutical lot tracking and validation. As a complete and easy to use package, the I-PAK SE maximizes efficiency and ease of use while enabling the pharmaceutical industry to meet the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 for reliable, accurate and validated inspection of labels and products. At the core of the new I-PAK SE complete solution is the proven I-PAK inspection system already in use by major pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide. This machine vision system is based on patented Visionscape hardware and software accessed through a customized software GUI designed specifically for pharmaceutical inspection.
