GlobalVision’s Braille Height Enterprise is breaking new ground by offering unmatched precision and speed never before seen for regulatory Braille inspections. With the new Braille Height Enterprise, inspections on pharmaceutical packaging can be completed in record time and with complete accuracy, getting products out to market faster than ever before.

This fully automated scanner-based solution is the first detailed Braille height measurement solution that measures the exact height of each individual Braille dot. Previously, teams had to rely on manual inspection methods or had to suffice with automated solutions giving an average measurement value across Braille regions instead of exact measurements, resulting in compromised compliance in the EU market.

GVD Braille Height Enterprise not only eliminates the need for these error-prone and time-consuming manual Braille inspections, it also sets a new standard for speed of automated Braille inspections for professionals in regulated industries including pharmaceuticals and print and packaging. 

The GVD Braille Enterprise inspection software is a one-of-a-kind solution on the market allowing teams in quality assurance and prepress to confidently meet regulatory standards and ensure accurate Braille assets leading to safer and more accessible products, marking a significant step forward in technology-driven quality assurance.

The Importance of Braille Accuracy 

In regulated industries, where adherence to standards and accessibility is crucial, Braille is a vital component of a product’s packaging or labeling to foster compliance and inclusivity.  

Braille, a universally accepted system of writing designed for individuals with visual impairments, is critical in ensuring that information, particularly in industries subject to strict regulations such as pharmaceuticals, is universally accessible.

The importance of Braille accuracy on pharmaceutical packaging and labeling cannot be overstated as it directly impacts the health and safety of consumers and patients with visual impairments. Taking into consideration that there are currently 295 million people worldwide with moderate to severe visual impairment, the need for Braille only becomes more pronounced.

 

 

In pharmaceuticals, where a single mistake can lead to serious health complications or even life-threatening consequences, the accuracy of Braille is a vital component of patient safety. Accurate Braille, including height, spacing, and translations, ensures that patients can independently access critical information regarding dosages, ingredients, and usage instructions, significantly reducing the risk of misuse. 

Yet, ensuring the accuracy of Braille assets is not just a matter of health safety, it is also a question of legal compliance and ethical responsibility. 

From a quality assurance and production perspective, Braille accuracy is vital as it is a mandatory component on pharmaceutical packaging all across Europe, governed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is strongly recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Western markets, while other regions such as the ASEAN markets are working to heighten inclusivity by implementing Braille requirements on packaging soon.

Get To Market Faster Than Before 

By harnessing automated technology, the GVD Braille Height Enterprise is 10X faster than competitor solutions and cuts down inspection times dramatically, from what would previously take several hours, down to just a few minutes. This drastic reduction in inspections enables teams to handle larger volumes of inspections with the same (or less) labor resources, boosting productivity and streamlining operations.

In the competitive EU medicines environment, time to market is a critical factor for success. The Braille Height Enterprise inspection software streamlines inspection processes for Braille assets, allowing products to move more quickly from production to market. This speed can provide a competitive advantage, enabling companies to capture market share more effectively. It also aids teams specifically in pharma packaging to produce fast and accurate products allowing for life saving medicines and drugs to reach consumers more quickly.

In under 3 minutes, the software can accurately inspect Braille height for each individual dot, and all other aspects of Braille across various materials and formats, including foil cartons and full press sheets. It can also inspect and translate Braille in 43 languages – the highest amount of supported languages available for Braille translations – allowing for easier global scalability. 

These metrics once again set GVD Braille Height Enterprise apart from other solutions as its automated technology is more robust and comprehensive than any other solutions on the market.   

For perspective, competitor software on average takes 50 mins to complete a full Press sheet Braille inspection, while GVD completes the same inspection in less than 3 minutes. What’s more, inspections can be done in 43 global languages, on different materials, across multiple Braille regions, and can be conducted simultaneously, with other GVD capabilities such as graphics, text, color, and barcode inspections. 

All of these capabilities allow teams to accelerate their inspection times and get vital pharmaceutical products to markets all across Europe at never before seen speeds. 

Experience Unmatched Braille Accuracy Through Precise Inspections

Traditionally, Braille inspections have been conducted manually to ensure the accuracy of Braille on packaging, labeling, and other regulatory documentation. This method involved trained personnel visually inspecting for obvious defects such as missing dots, misalignment, or inconsistencies in the Braille pattern. It also involved tactile inspections where Braille would be manually felt to ensure that the dots are raised to the correct height, are distinguishable to the touch, and are translated properly.

Due to the high risks that come with manual inspections, these methods have proven to be unreliable verification processes that are highly susceptible to human error, including oversight and fatigue. The GVD Braille Height Enterprise mitigates these risks by automating the inspection process, thus significantly lowering the chances of mistakes that can compromise the quality and compliance of Braille outputs.

The Braille Height Enterprise inspection software enables teams to check for Braille accuracy through automated inspections that check for Braille height, spacing, translations, missing dots, and more in one comprehensive scan. For Braille height specifically, the software inspects the exact height of each individual Braille dot ensuring the accuracy of Braille assets with extreme precision. 

In a matter of minutes, the inspection will yield a detailed report of all non-compliant Braille dots on packaging assets, allowing teams to make adjustments accordingly and ensure the complete accuracy of their regulatory documentation. 

Currently, GVD Braille Height Enterprise is the most accurate on the market, yielding inspections that are 2 X more accurate than competitor solutions. 

Have Complete Confidence in Your Compliance 

For pharmaceutical and packaging industries, the accuracy of Braille on packaging and labeling is critical. This is due to the fact that errors in Braille can lead to devastating non-compliance issues.

When it comes to inspecting Braille accuracy on regulatory content such as packaging and labeling files, the process is done to ensure, amongst many things, the compliance with the Marburg Medium Font Standard as well as ISO 17351:2013 requirements for Braille on pharmaceutical products. 

Braille inspections in particular have posed challenges to the pharmaceutical and print and packaging industries as stringent regulations such as the Marburg Medium Font Standard requires a height of 0.20mm, with many companies producing at a height of 0.10mm. This makes Braille’s height incredibly difficult to measure through manual inspections and heightens the risk of errors slipping through that can lead to non-compliance issues.

GVD Braille Height Enterprise addresses these unreliable and inefficient manual verification processes, reducing risks of incorrect Braille translations, tactile issues, spacing errors, and spelling mistakes, all of which cause compliance issues such as financial penalties, recalls, risk to consumer and patient safety and damage to a company’s reputation. 

This automated solution detects even minor discrepancies in Braille assets by inspecting each individual Braille dot, thereby increasing the accuracy and reliability of Braille asset verification. Not only does it render manual inspections obsolete, it outpaces other automated solutions that only give average measurement values across Braille regions.   

This advanced technology allows teams and organizations to avoid the consequences of non-compliance as they can now meet regulatory standards with greater precision, accuracy, and speed.

A New Standard for Braille Inspections

Due to its never-before seen accuracy, precision, and speed, the GVD Braille Height Enterprise is a market-leading solution that sets a new standard for Braille inspections. 

Incoming quality assurance and production teams in the pharmaceutical and print and packaging industries can now leverage the latest and most innovative Braille inspection technology to eliminate bottlenecks and get critical products out to market all across the European Union faster than any other competitor.

By replacing slow, inefficient, error-prone manual inspections with fast, accurate, and automated technology, the Braille Enterprise inspection software eliminates risks associated with human errors in Braille verification which include incorrect translations, tactile issues, spacing errors, and spelling mistakes all which can all lead to compliance issues, financial penalties, recalls, risks to consumer and patient safety, and damage to a company’s reputation.

If you want to discover the full capabilities of our innovative GVD Braille Height Enterprise, book a demo today and see firsthand the transformative impact it will have on the accuracy, speed, and compliance of your regulated Braille assets.

The OCR Technology Gap 

Previously, without OCR proofreading technology, regulatory, commercial, and labeling professionals in regulated industries, as well as the agencies that serve them, struggled with manual processes, facing challenges in handling flattened documents containing rasterized text. They were forced to perform visual text extractions, manual proofreading, and manual data entries.

While receiving flattened documents is often out of their control due to the many stakeholders often involved in working on a single document, in the absence of OCR technology, having to perform manual proofreading hinders efficiency, exposes them to potential errors and compliance risks, compromises consumer and patient safety, and causes bottlenecks in the asset development process. 

These critical problems only worsen with the added challenge of localization and translation tasks necessary for scalable, multinational operations.

Verify’s AI-Powered optical character recognition technology is designed to solve these problems and revolutionize how regulatory, commercial, agencies, and labeling teams handle text within their document review processes, bringing automation and accuracy to the forefront. 

OCR for Compliance With Regulatory Requirements

For industries governed by strict regulations, compliance is non-negotiable. 

Regulatory teams are often faced with the difficulty of dealing with rasterized documents, leading to manual inspections, increased risk of errors, and workflow inefficiencies. Similarly, commercial teams and agencies encounter difficulties in handling vast amounts of promotional content which is held to the highest standard in compliance, hindering creativity and time spent on more meaningful work. In parallel, labeling teams also deal with proofreading tasks within strict deadlines and regulations. 

With the launch of Verify’s newest AI-powered OCR feature, compliance and review processes are simplified through the automation of text extractions, and the verification of critical text data in documents. This not only eliminates the need for error-prone manual checks, it ensures greater accuracy and significantly reduces the risk of human error, ultimately streamlining compliance processes and ensuring compliance with global health authorities. 

Regulated companies can now navigate the complex regulatory landscape with greater confidence, knowing that Verify’s OCR feature acts as an added layer of insurance, guaranteeing the quality of their documentation. 

Increased Patient and Consumer Safety Assurance

Verify’s OCR feature will help ensure the accuracy of critical content that is directly associated with patient and consumer safety. This spans a wide range of content types that could potentially hinder safety such as instructions for use, allergen statements, dosages, warning statements and more. 

If documents or digital packaging assets do not contain live text, the absence of OCR technology would force content revision tasks to be done manually. With files or labels that include small text, graphics of text, and multilingual files in different languages and scripts, this could prove to be a time-consuming and almost impossible task. 

By automating the extraction of rasterized text, OCR not only accelerates the proofreading process it also provides a level of accuracy for document and label inspections that was not previously possible, as it allows for a character-for-character precision level

Thanks to this technology, pharmaceuticals, medical device, and CPG companies can ensure that their customers remain safe thanks to the mitigation of potential errors slipping by. 

Accelerated Scaling of Global Operations

Scaling globally often comes with the challenge of dealing with multiple languages, different scripts and the obligation of adhering to global regulatory standards—noting that the complexity is compounded when those tasked with proofreading are not native to the languages they are faced with. 

Verify’s OCR feature facilitates the extraction of text for translation purposes which supports the localization of documents. This reduces the risk of errors in translated content, whether it be regulatory, promotional documents, or labels. 

This allows brands to scale globally at a quicker rate by efficiently and safely distributing error-free products and content across their target markets.

With Verify’s new AI-powered OCR feature, the software has the ability to proofread and validate content in various languages and scripts even if they are in a flattened format, enhancing efficiency and promoting consistency in communication, facilitating smoother global expansion strategies.

Faster Product Time-to-Market

For regulated industries, being first to market offers a huge competitive advantage with often limited market share to capture before it’s too late. Thankfully,  Verify’s new OCR feature leverages AI technology to expedite the proofreading process, reducing the overall time it takes to bring products to market. 

For teams who deal with proofreading regulatory submissions, batch records, promotional and marketing materials, as well as labels or packaging assets, optical character recognition will prove to be particularly beneficial.  

By automating text extractions and reducing the need for manual content revisions and manual data entries, content revisions are now sped up throughout the product development lifecycle, allowing companies to respond more swiftly to market demands and gain a competitive edge.

This feature will also specifically benefit label labeling teams as the content they review includes both physical label scans as well as e-labels. In these cases, labeling teams are often forced to manually review and proofread within strict deadlines—increasing the risk of errors, and often delaying product time to market for sometimes life-saving drugs and medical devices.

With Verify’s new OCR feature, these teams will not only accelerate their speed to market, they will also have complete confidence that their documents and labels are accurate when they hit the market. 

Protect Your Brand’s Reputation

Verify’s OCR feature acts as a safeguard against damaging content errors, which can lead to catastrophic consequences on a brand’s image. 

By maintaining the integrity and accuracy of content, the software protects brand reputation and instills confidence among customers, stakeholders, and the wider public.

Verify’s OCR feature leverages powerful artificial intelligence technology that detects characters within images or flattened documents, rendering a precise character-for-character text inspection possible.

This feature helps you save time on inspections and reduce the risk of non-compliance errors falling through. By automating the process of recognizing and extracting text from images or scanned documents, users can expect to drastically decrease the need for manual inspections, as well as the overall time needed to digitally inspect files.

By reducing manual processes, OCR also decreases the risk of human errors, safeguarding sensitive and critical documentation from errors that can lead to financial losses and the potential of a negative brand image.

While OCR is intended for all users, it will prove to be particularly beneficial for content, creative, regulatory, and labeling specialists in a variety of sectors from pharmaceuticals, print and packaging, prepress, and marketing agencies. 

Watch our video to see the OCR feature in action 

Revamped Prep Stage and Filtering Tool in the Results Stage

You can now expect to go through inspection results in record time through the new Prep Stage options and Filtering Tool in the Results Stage. Previously, users did not have the option to opt out of Text Inspection, and when reviewing inspection results, users sometimes had to go through large amounts of results cards with no clear and efficient method to filter and resolve them. 

Now, users can select exactly which types of inspections they want to perform from the Prep Stage, and all Results get automatically segmented into 5 separate panels with their own unique default filters: Text, Spell, Graphics, Barcode, and Braille. You will also still have the option to view all results together with the “All” filter function. 

This will allow you to view results in a more clear and concise manner and tackle differences by priority and importance, ultimately improving the revision process and allowing you to make corrections and improvements with greater ease. 

See the new revamped Prep Stage and Filtering Tool below

Enhanced Graphics Inspection Capabilities

For those who heavily focus on graphics inspections, the Verify Winter Release also offers game-changing features to ensure the accuracy of your graphics. 

Ability to Manage Spot Colors in the Prep Stage

This release also brings the ability to manage Spot Colors in the Prep Stage (also known as “Separations Control), expanding graphics inspection capabilities by ensuring a more comprehensive assessment of files, resulting in the heightened accuracy to your graphics files.

In the Prep Stage, a new option called ‘Spot Color Controls’ will now allow you to turn Spot Colors on or off to ease your revision process and allow you to view results and make needed adjustments efficiently.  

Regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, print and packaging, CPG, as well as agencies  deal with complex workflows and often have limited power over the composition (layers and spot colors) of the files that need to be inspected. If the presence of a Spot Colors is hindering a successful graphics inspection from happening, the inability to turn that Spot Color off may reduce the accuracy of any given inspection, or make the inspection impossible. With the addition of this new feature, this bottleneck will be eliminated allowing for more seamless inspections. 

Watch our video to see the Spot Colors Control feature in action

Graphics Inspection Captures Live Text Differences in Red Boxes

When running a graphics inspection, Verify will perform a pixel-for-pixel overlay, detecting all deviations, including deviations in live text, and will now capture them all within a red box. 

By grouping and visualizing all differences found, this feature ultimately reduces confusion about which elements are being inspected when enabling Full Page Graphics. 

See the new Graphics Inspection Improvements below

Scale Globally With Improved Accuracy of Asian and Right-to-Left Language Text Inspection

Multinational brands and agencies need to adhere to the compliance requirements of global authorities of the countries where their products and content are distributed, and are often faced with inspecting languages such as Asian text and right-to-left texts, such as Arabic and Hebrew, on various types of documents. 

Without adequate processes and solutions, these companies are forced to either outsource these tasks or perform the inspections manually. This can lead to slow revision processes, delayed product-to-market times, and can ultimately hinder a company’s ability to scale its brand globally.

We improved our text inspection algorithm that recognizes and compares Asian characters and Right-to-Left languages. This allows multinationals to render more accurate inspection results and consequently, improve the quality of their multilingual documentation and packaging assets. 

Reduce Unwanted Spelling Results

The Winter Release also brings new improvements to the spelling inspection algorithm and now offers a more reliable dictionary, rendering more accurate results for the following:

  • Hyphenated words
  • Soft-hyphenated words
  • Words that include special characters
  • Commonly used abbreviations

This is particularly beneficial for global brands and agencies that need to ensure all of their distributed content is accurate and free from all errors. Much like with multilingual documentation, without proper processes and software to help with these quality control tasks, international brands and companies may need to outsource tasks or do inspections manually. This can slow down revision times, delay product launches, and hinder global brand expansion.

Collectively, the network is made up of over 45 agencies that are spread across six continents and 6,500+ employees driven by a company-wide obsession with harnessing creativity, technology, science, and data to inspire behaviors that fuel better health. 

IPG Health’s clients include the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies as well as countless startups, biotech companies, biopharma companies, and a variety of life science companies. In everything they do, IPG Health is relentlessly focused on doing what’s right for their clients, their brands, and their people. 

The Challenge: Keeping Content Accurate While Facing Regulatory and Time Constraints

Due to the fast-paced, highly regulated, and critical nature of their field of work, IPG Health must focus significant time and resources on ensuring the accuracy of every piece of content and creative material produced. 

Kyle Richards, EVP, Executive Director, Editorial, at IPG Health, gave us a detailed look into some of the key challenges his teams and department face in the project development process. He noted that their main goal was to deliver accurate content for their clients and a large part of ensuring that was through accurate and fast proofreading processes. 

IPG Health deals with large volumes of medical and scientific materials that are often lengthy and technical, and that include special characters that further complicate proofreading. When reviewing the documents manually, the proofreading process can be very time-consuming. Traditionally, this often led to the need for additional proofreaders at the late stages of the project development process to avoid bottlenecks while ensuring accuracy. 

Further, duplicate proofreading reviews at key project milestones were part of their standard operating procedure to ensure accuracy as projects moved through the late-stage production steps. The need for a second proofreader so routinely added a resource management challenge to the quality control process.

“We found that there were bottlenecks with regard to turning projects around and getting them back to our clients. We were coming up against these crunch times to turn around content quickly for product launches, and the manual proofreading process was slowing us down.”

  • Kyle Richards, EVP, Executive Director, Editorial, at IPG Health

The Solution: Increase Content Review Efficiency and Maintain Accuracy Through Automation 

When IPG Health first sampled GlobalVision’s automated solutions 10 years ago, they instantly noticed the incredibly accurate results it was producing proofreading files. On top of that, even at a time before the routine use of digital tools, GlobalVision products were easy enough to use to enable a broad rollout within the editorial teams. 

For over a decade, this accuracy has proven reliable, as IPG Health still trusts GlobalVision as an important component of its editorial process. 

“A lightbulb went off when we were proofreading a 35-page product package label. The manual proofreading took most of the day to complete, yet when I ran the files through [GlobalVision], it took all of 30 minutes. It caught all the errors the manual proofreader found plus two additional errors that would have otherwise slipped through.”

  • Kyle Richards, EVP, Executive Director, Editorial, at IPG Health

In many cases, IPG Health teams work with pre-approved client content that needs to be included in their materials. While there is plenty of room for their renowned creativity in other areas, in these cases they must strictly adhere to the approved language. To help with this, GlobalVision is used to ensure complete accuracy, in addition to its use for late-stage proofreading to ensure content integrity.

Kyle Richards notes that due to their text-heavy content, the Text Inspection tool is the feature they rely on most. They also benefit greatly from the built-in Spell Check and Custom Dictionaries, which proved to be extremely helpful when proofreading health-related material. Graphics inspection is also used frequently, as diagrams, charts, and visuals are commonly included in the content.

Throughout the years, IPG Health found numerous advantages of using GlobalVision’s file comparison technology but has particularly noted three main software benefits: 

  • Accuracy: Maintains accuracy of proofread documents and provides an additional layer of quality control in late-stage reviews. 
  • Time Savings: The addition of automated inspections drastically decreases the time needed to proofread lengthy, technical, health-related documents, particularly in late-stage reviews.
  • Better Use of Expertise: Provides an added layer of support and verification for editors and allows them more time to perform other high-value aspects of their role. 

Automated inspections drastically decrease the time needed to proofread lengthy, technical, health-related content. In general, it decreases proofreading times at IPG Health by about 75%-80%.

It hasn’t been just IPG Health reaping the benefits of GlobalVision, their clients have also received the benefits. Kyle Richards notes that “Clients are always looking to be more efficient with their budget. With GlobalVision, we’re able to do more work within the same time, meaning they’re getting more for their dollar.” 

“Clients are always looking to be more efficient with their budget. With GlobalVision, we’re able to do more work within the same time, meaning they’re getting more for their dollar.”
