GithubIn the process of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing and automated preparation, the traditional manual method of identifying medicinal materials is inefficient and prone to errors. Additionally, the wide variety of Chinese medicinal herbs and their subtle visual differences make standardized management difficult to achieve. With the advancement of intelligent medical equipment, there is an urgent need for medical device companies to adopt a smart 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, utilizes AI image recognition and machine vision algorithms to achieve automated identification, classification, weighing, and intelligent dispensing of traditional Chinese medicines. This system 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 utilizes a high-resolution OpenMV intelligent camera to capture real-time images of medicinal materials. Through the built-in AI image recognition model on the device side, it automatically determines the type, morphological characteristics, and color texture of the medicinal materials. By combining deep learning and feature matching algorithms, the system can accurately distinguish between similar-looking traditional Chinese medicinal materials (such as Astragalus and Codonopsis, Atractylodes macrocephala and Atractylodes lancea), achieving a recognition accuracy rate of over 98%.
After the recognition results are transmitted in real-time to the control system, the system automatically calls the corresponding dispensing parameters to achieve the automated execution of the processes of grabbing, weighing, and proportioning medicinal materials. SingTown Technology's OpenMV smart camera possesses embedded edge-side AI computing capabilities, enabling local completion of recognition and computation without reliance on cloud networks, ensuring processing speed and data security.
For situations such as complex lighting in pharmacies or factories, and stacked 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.
Leveraging SingTown's integrated software and hardware platform, this embedded vision system seamlessly connects 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 traditional Chinese medicine preparation with new vitality in intelligent manufacturing and digital traditional Chinese medicine.
