About Axom Solutions
Axom Solutions is a Swiss machinery manufacturer based in Basel that develops automation solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. The company combines robotics, high-quality camera systems and artificial intelligence (deep learning, computer vision) into fully automated visual inspection and counting machines. The Automated Visual Inspection Station detects defects such as black spots, scratches and crush marks on vials, pre-filled syringes, blow-fill-seal systems, ampoules, cartridges and Epi-Pens; the counting station ensures complete batch reconciliation and rules out mix-ups. An OCR module enables automatic traceability of batch and part numbers in the production process. The company also supports its customers – pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology manufacturers – with implementing the solutions into existing production lines, and offers quality assurance solutions as well as contract packaging. The systems target manufacturers with high regulatory requirements (including FDA, Swissmedic, Eudralex). Axom Solutions was founded in 2018 and is present at the Basel and Morges locations.
