10 November 2023 Our industrial project partner won the Quality - Innovation 2023 national award.
IVM Zrt., the company that develops and manufactures device dispensing machines, won in the "Quality – Innovation 2023" national award competition. The purpose of the artificial intelligence-supported, modular and decentralized drug dispenser, developed with the cooperation of University of Pannonia, is to provide 100% patient safety, eliminating medication errors and providing controlled access to drugs. As a cooperating partner, in our laboratory we have developed several optical inspection methods for the task, which have different advantages in terms of speed, reliability, and adaptation. Some of the theoretical solutions use new methods that we also publish on scientific forums, while we trust the market success of the company's product. The knowledge acquired during the research and development work is integrated into the educational materials, so the students of the University of Pannonia can already meet the latest IT solutions during their studies.
