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

In the process of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing and automated preparation, the traditional manual method of identifying medicinal herbs is inefficient and prone to errors. With the vast variety of Chinese medicines and their subtle visual differences, achieving standardised management is challenging. With the advancement of intelligent pharmaceutical equipment, there is an urgent need for pharmaceutical equipment companies to adopt a smart visual solution capable of rapidly identifying Chinese medicinal herbs, automatically weighing them, and accurately dispensing prescriptions.

SingTown Technology's Traditional Chinese Medicine Recognition and Dispensing System, built upon the OpenMV intelligent camera, utilises AI image recognition and machine vision algorithms to achieve automatic 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 medicinal materials in real time. Through an AI image recognition model built into the edge device, it automatically determines the type, morphological characteristics, colour, and texture of the medicinal materials. By combining 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 in real-time to the control system, the system automatically calls the corresponding dispensing parameters to achieve the automated execution of the processes of grasping, 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 pharmacies or factories with complex lighting conditions and stacked medicinal materials, the OpenMV smart camera supports automatic exposure and white balance. This feature 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 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 Chinese medicine.
