SWIFT-EYE featured in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing magazine
Our SWIFT-EYE technology was recognized by dr. Emil W. Ciurczak, one of the world's most esteemed PAT experts. In his article "PAT: The Quest for Control" in December 2018 issue of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing magazine, dr. Ciurczak highlights the features and benefits of our technology and places SWIFT-EYE among the best new products on the market.
SWIFT-EYE
New generation smart sensor for
in-line particle analysis
SWIFT-EYE is a high-performance visual imaging smart sensor that offers in-line and real-time inspection of particles in production processes. High accuracy and high speed of particle measurements (1 million particles per minute) allow for advanced data analysis of particle properties. On our easy-to-use monitoring dashboard, the measured data can be monitored in real-time to ensure timely feedback of your manufacturing processes.

FAST IMAGE PROCESSING
The images are continuously analyzed with SWIFT-EYE processing unit, employing our own specialized high-speed algorithms for reliable and accurate real-time particle measurements. Each measured particle is analysed in terms of size and various shape parameters.
SWIFT-EYE ADVANCED ANALYSES
INTER-PARTICLE COATING UNIFORMITY
With advanced analysis of particle size distributions and their change throughout the coating process, inter-particle coating uniformity can be monitored. Within this analysis, the dependency of coating thickness gain on particle size is presented.
INTRA-PARTICLE COATING UNIFORMITY
Intra-particle coating uniformity is becoming an important property, especially with particle coating in pahrmaceutical industry for modified release drugs or with protective coatings. Throughout a coating process, the coating thickness along the average particle outline is analyzed.
SWIFT-EYE MONITORING
DASHBOARD
Our easy-to-use dashboard brings you real-time monitoring of all SWIFT-EYE analyses with dynamical charts to easily show the progress and quality of your production process.
REMOTE MONITORING
Industry 4.0 design enables remote monitoring of multiple SWIFT-EYE devices from a single computer or tablet. Also, multiple users can monitor the production processes at the same time, facilitating information exchange within your production plant.
CUSTOM PROCESS REPORTS
We offer custom automatic process reports and data exports into various formats to make it easy to handle and store your data, whether it’s for process development in R&D or for verification purposes.
BENEFIT TODAY, BE READY FOR TOMORROW
We offer custom integration into your existing production platform.
SWIFT-EYE is designed for Industry 4.0 and enables integration into modern IIoT platforms. Whatever the future holds, you can benefit with SWIFT-EYE for years to come.
