National Instruments® LabVIEW™ based pharmaceutical medication device with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA)

Abstract

Pharmaceutical Medication Devices are used to fill, count, package & deliver medicines ensuring an automated & efficient batch production. Different types of devices are used but the theme here is to increase the efficiency by introducing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) which overcomes human intervention and increases the overall efficiency of the pharmaceutical process. Hardware design of an efficient batch production device is also presented along with the mechanical aspects.

Integrated SCADA Checkweigher System

“…The utilization of three most advanced in their fields environments in a single application is innovative. Engineering literature survey shows examples of LabVIEW and SCADA integration [5,6]. However, implementation of MATLAB, LabVIEW and SCADA in one, scientific or industrial, application was not done recently.…”
