“Double Blind Entry”

Alsbach-Hähnlein, December 19, 2011 – The data administration and access control system ARGUS wt10 of Laetus is expanded with a convenient feature: Laetus has developed a new function for safe dual data entry (double blind data entry) for companies without automatic data transmission from ERP system to production line. This additional service will be integrated in future versions of ARGUS wt10 Server 4.3.0 and higher while older versions can be updated.

Manual data entry is a weak point in many companies. Typing and spelling errors, transposed numbers and omissions are possible even with great concentration. Dual data entry by different users can eliminate these error sources through automatic alignment. Many pharmacists have therefore stipulated this procedure in a compulsory manner. With ARGUS wt, one person types or scans the reference number for verification of a product batch into the according mask and confirms it. A second person re-enters the same data independently. If both sets of information are identical, the data flow for the respective batch is activated and production started. In case of differences, the entries have to be checked. The system guarantees that data is entered by two different persons. Dual data entry effectively ensures that the correct batch information is used at all times.

ARGUS wt10 is a data administration and access control system for Laetus web technology testing devices. It includes product database, device administration, user administration as well as the audit trail data required in the pharmaceutical production process. Flexible modules turn ARGUS wt into a tailor-made solution that can be optionally expanded through a standard Ethernet network as needed.

This decisive increase in detection performance is achieved by two colour cameras, mounted side by side, which cover the same test area formerly covered by one single camera. Each of the two 5-megapixel cameras records half of the respective test area. These photographic recordings are then combined into one image, whereby the horizontal resolution of the complete photograph is doubled. An additional positive effect is that objects on the edge of the inspection area appear less distorted because the respective angle from the edge to the camera is less oblique.

Further sources of error are excluded by using surface-scan instead of line-scan cameras. This is due to the different photographic techniques. Line-scan cameras, triggered by incremental sensors, record single lines, which are then later combined to form an image of the area to be tested. In this, an optical offset effect my occur, so-called slippage, which, for example, causes round objects to appear oval in shape. In consequence, objects are wrongly classified as faulty and rejected. Optical distortions of this nature cannot occur when using a surface-scan camera, which records the entire area simultaneously.

Adjusting the cameras and setting them according to the respective production environment is extremely easy and convenient. All setting changes are immediately shown as an image on the display panel, which enables exact selection of the test area.
