Medicine OCR: Pharmacy AI Scanner

Tailored for a SAAS client with over 300 pharmacy retailers, this solution revolutionizes the way pharmacies manage their inventory and orders. Using advanced AI and smartphone technology, we developed a system that seamlessly scans and updates medicine details, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. This project shows our commitment to creating cutting-edge, custom tech solutions that integrate smoothly with existing systems.

The Challenge Speed & Accuracy

The primary challenge was to develop a system that could accurately and efficiently scan medicine details under various conditions such as differing smartphone performances, lighting variations, and movements. This needed to be achieved while ensuring seamless integration with the client’s existing software and maintaining high accuracy in data capture.

Innovative AI Powered Solution

Our approach involved a two-fold strategy: developing an intuitive Android app and refining a machine learning model. The app featured a camera preview for automatic detection, scanning, and uploading of medicine details. On the backend, we experimented with various models, ultimately training a machine learning model on a dataset of 1000 images. This model was uniquely designed to recognize key details such as expiry dates and batch codes with 99.5% accuracy.
