Intelligent equipment operates in the tablet manufacturing workshop at China Resources (CR) Jiangzhong Pharmaceutical Valley in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province.

The signs of intelligent manufacturing are everywhere inside the tablet manufacturing workshop at China Resources (CR) Jiangzhong Pharmaceutical Valley in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province.

"Inspections used to rely entirely on experienced workers checking tablets with the naked eye. Examining tens of thousands of tablets a day was both time-consuming and labor-intensive," said Xiao Jinfa, head of the workshop.

Over the years, CR Jiangzhong has upgraded from analog cameras to digital inspection systems and now AI-powered vision technology. The system can accurately identify more than a dozen types of defects, greatly improving both inspection efficiency and reliability.

Today, more than 95% of CR Jiangzhong's production processes are digitally controlled.
