Company Overview

NorrSpect is a Swedish AI company headquartered in Umeå, Sweden, recognized for its leadership in deploying intelligent inspection solutions across high-precision industries. With a proven track record supporting production giants like Volvo Cars and other leading automotive manufacturers, NorrSpect brings its expertise into the life sciences sector with NorrStudio—an AI-driven visual inspection platform designed to optimize quality assurance at every stage of pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing.

Industry Application: Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Assembly

Manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries operate under stringent quality and regulatory standards. Assembly and fabrication processes, often involving delicate or microscopic components, are particularly vulnerable to human error and mechanical inconsistencies.

NorrStudio brings real-time, high-accuracy visual inspection to these processes, ensuring that every device assembled meets exacting compliance and safety requirements.

Use Case Focus: Assembly & Fabrication Inspection

Below are key inspection challenges in assembly and fabrication where NorrStudio delivers significant value.

1. Improper Syringe Plunger Fit

Challenge: Misaligned or loosely fitted plungers can lead to dosage inaccuracy or product failure.

Solution: NorrStudio uses precise object detection models to verify plunger placement and depth during assembly.

Impact: Reliable dose integrity and reduced rework or disposal costs.

2. Device Spring Misplacement

Challenge: Springs in auto-injectors or similar devices must be placed with high precision for proper actuation.

Solution: NorrStudio’s machine vision inspects spring presence, orientation, and tension alignment before enclosure.

Impact: Reduced failure rates in field use and fewer warranty claims.

3. Catheter Loop Misrouting

Challenge: Misrouted or kinked catheter loops can compromise device function and patient safety.

Solution: AI models trained on routing geometries detect any deviation in loop formation, even in transparent or low-contrast housings.

Impact: Increased functional compliance and manufacturing reliability.

4. Blister Pack Folding Defect

Challenge: Incorrect folds in blister packs can affect sealing, protection, and product presentation.

Solution: Edge detection and pattern recognition models verify every fold in high-speed packaging environments.

Impact: Reduced packaging waste and improved shelf-readiness.

5. Missing Caps on Tubes

Challenge: Uncapped tubes can lead to leakage, contamination, or non-compliance with sterility requirements.

Solution: Real-time image recognition verifies the presence and fit of caps at high throughput speeds.

Impact: Zero-defect packaging output and fewer customer complaints.

6. Incomplete Foil Sealing

Challenge: Partial or weak foil seals can result in compromised shelf life and sterility.

Solution: Thermal imaging and visual consistency checks ensure complete and uniform seal application across all units.

Impact: Improved product integrity and regulatory confidence.
