GithubIn the process of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing and automated preparation, the traditional manual identification of medicinal materials suffers from low efficiency and high error rates. Additionally, the wide variety of Chinese medicinal herbs and their subtle visual differences make standardized management difficult to achieve. With the advancement of intelligent pharmaceutical equipment, pharmaceutical device companies urgently require an intelligent visual solution capable of rapidly identifying Chinese medicinal materials, automatically weighing them, and accurately dispensing prescriptions.
SingTown Technology has developed a traditional Chinese medicine identification and dispensing system based on the OpenMV smart camera. Utilizing AI image recognition and machine vision algorithms, it enables automatic identification, classification, weighing, and intelligent dispensing of traditional Chinese medicines, facilitating 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 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 edge side, it automatically determines the species, morphological characteristics, color, and texture of the medicinal materials. By integrating deep learning and feature matching algorithms, the system can accurately distinguish between traditional Chinese medicinal materials 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 invokes the corresponding dispensing parameters to achieve automated execution of the processes of grasping, weighing, and proportioning medicinal materials. SingTown Technology's OpenMV smart camera features embedded edge-side AI computing capabilities, enabling local completion of recognition and computation without reliance on cloud networks, thereby 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.
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 in traditional Chinese medicine dispensing from "manual experience" to "AI vision-driven." Edge deployment has infused traditional Chinese medicine preparation with new vitality in intelligent manufacturing and digital traditional Chinese medicine.
