Split capsules and loose powder among the good ones
Inspection belt for blue and white capsules. On the left, the capsule filler discharges onto the belt under its ring light, and beside it a bin holds the bulk capsules. On the belt, among the whole capsules, several are split open, with brown powder spilled around them. An operator in gown, hairnet, mask and gloves is watching the belt from the right-hand side. The defective ones keep moving toward the outfeed.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
open or broken capsules, or powder spilled among them, appear on the inspection belt
Then
- alerts the line operator and the quality lead
- saves the video of the belt stretch where they went past
- logs the time and how many units with a visible defect were counted
The instruction that set it up«Alert me when split or broken capsules go past on the belt, or powder spilled around them.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
A broken capsule isn’t just one unit less: the powder it releases dirties the belt and travels with the next ones. When several show up in a row, there’s almost always something to fix upstream, in the machine. IRIS alerts while it’s happening, with the picture of the stretch and the time, so the team goes to look at the machine there and then, not at the end of the shift with half an hour of product to review.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS tell a split capsule from a whole one?
Yes, when the defect is visible: a capsule that’s open, split, crushed or surrounded by powder. A defect you can’t see, such as weight or what’s inside, isn’t something a camera reads: that’s the scale and the laboratory. IRIS alerts on what’s visible and keeps the image and the time.
Does IRIS detect whether the capsule dose is correct?
No. The camera looks at the shape, the color and the condition of the capsule, not at what’s inside it. The content is checked by weighing and by analysis, and no image replaces that check. What IRIS adds is the image, the time and the count of units with a visible defect that went past.
Does IRIS replace the line quality control?
No. IRIS watches the same stretch without a break and alerts as it happens, but what counts as a reject is written by the plant in its own rules, and the decision on the batch still belongs to quality. IRIS works alongside those systems and adds what they lack: the image and the exact minute.

The real interface, step by step
This isn’t a video. It’s a slice of the real screen.
A summary of the real interface, played hands-free. You see one case from start to finish; what you don’t see are the other screens, and there are many.
- The hour, as a grid
- You look where it’s dark
- You jump to that minute
Next step
What does a venue with twenty thousand people inside see?
15 cases: 11 raise an alert when something happens and 4 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.

And the best part
Whoever is on duty already has a job.Watching forty screens doesn’t fit into the shift.
No shift has time to spare. IRIS watches all forty at once and brings only what needs to be seen, with its camera and its time. What happens next is that person’s call.
