AI Chinese Medicine Dispenser Now Available – SingTown Technology's Automated Chinese Medicine Recognition and Dispensing Solution

In the process of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing and automated preparation, the traditional manual identification of medicinal materials is inefficient and prone to errors. With the vast variety of Chinese medicines and subtle differences in appearance, achieving standardized management is challenging. With the advancement of intelligent medical equipment, pharmaceutical equipment enterprises urgently need an intelligent visual solution capable of quickly identifying Chinese medicinal materials, automatically weighing, and accurately dispensing.

SingTown Technology's Traditional Chinese Medicine Identification and Dispensing System, built upon the OpenMV smart camera, utilizes AI image recognition and machine vision algorithms to achieve automated identification, classification, weighing, and intelligent dispensing of traditional Chinese medicines. It facilitates the digital and intelligent upgrade of the TCM preparation process.

Pharmaceutical equipment enterprises have adopted SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera recognition technology to construct an AI deep learning machine vision and image recognition algorithm-based automatic medicinal material identification system within traditional Chinese medicine dispensing machines.

The system utilises a high-resolution OpenMV intelligent camera to capture real-time images of medicinal herbs. Through the built-in AI image recognition model on the device side, it automatically determines the herb type, morphological characteristics, and colour texture. By integrating deep learning and feature-matching algorithms, the system can accurately distinguish between Chinese medicinal herbs with similar appearances (such as Astragalus and Codonopsis, Atractylodes macrocephala and Atractylodes lancea), achieving a recognition accuracy rate exceeding 98%.

After the recognition results are transmitted to the control system in real-time, the system automatically calls the corresponding dispensing parameters to achieve automated execution of the processes of grabbing, weighing, and proportioning medicinal materials. SingTown Technology's OpenMV smart camera features embedded edge-side AI computing capabilities, enabling local recognition and computation without reliance on cloud networks, ensuring processing speed and data security.

In response to complex lighting conditions in pharmacies or factories, and the stacking of medicinal materials, the OpenMV smart camera supports automatic exposure and white balance functions, which can effectively enhance image stability and recognition robustness in complex scenarios.

Relying on SingTown Technology's integrated software and hardware platform, this embedded vision system can seamlessly connect with traditional Chinese medicine smart cabinets, automatic dispensing machines, pharmacy management systems, and more, enabling herb identification, automatic dispensing, inventory management statistics, and prescription traceability.

Through SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera AI image recognition technology, pharmaceutical equipment enterprises have achieved a leap from "manual experience" to "AI vision-driven" in traditional Chinese medicine dispensing. Edge deployment has infused new vitality of intelligent manufacturing and digital traditional Chinese medicine into conventional TCM preparation.
