GithubIn the process of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing and automated preparation, the traditional manual identification of medicinal materials is inefficient and prone to errors. Additionally, the wide variety of Chinese medicines and their subtle visual differences make standardized management difficult. With the advancement of intelligent pharmaceutical equipment, pharmaceutical device companies urgently require an intelligent visual solution capable of quickly identifying Chinese medicinal materials, automatically weighing them, and accurately dispensing prescriptions.
SingTown Technology's Traditional Chinese Medicine Identification and Dispensing System, built upon the OpenMV smart camera, utilises AI image recognition and machine vision algorithms to achieve automated identification, classification, weighing, and intelligent dispensing of traditional Chinese medicines. It supports the digital and intelligent upgrade of TCM preparation processes.

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 visually similar Chinese medicinal herbs (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 herb grasping, weighing, and proportioning processes. 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.
For pharmacies or factories with complex lighting conditions and stacked medicinal materials, the OpenMV smart camera supports automatic exposure and white balance. This feature effectively enhances image stability and recognition robustness in complex scenarios.
Leveraging SingTown's integrated software and hardware platform, this embedded vision system seamlessly interfaces with traditional Chinese medicine smart cabinets, automatic dispensing machines, and pharmacy management systems, enabling herb identification, automated 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 traditional Chinese medicine preparation.
