In the wave of inheriting millennium wisdom and integrating modern technology, OurSort officially announced that its AI intelligent color selection solution tailored for the field of traditional Chinese medicine has been deployed and applied on a large scale in processing bases of multiple leading pharmaceutical companies and core production areas in China. This marks the transition of the traditional Chinese medicine processing industry from relying on manual experience to the era of data-driven and standardized intelligent refinement.
Industry Challenge: Traditional Sorting Constraints Quality and Industrial Upgrading
There are many types of traditional Chinese medicinal materials with different shapes, colors, and textures, and the improvement of their sorting purity has long faced bottlenecks:
High impurity complexity: Raw materials often contain non medicinal parts (such as goji berry stems, astragalus and reed heads), weed seeds, sediment and stones, as well as internal defects such as insect infestation, mold growth, and discoloration.
Strong dependence on manual labor and difficulty in unifying standards: relying on the vision of "masters", there are core problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, large fluctuations in standards, and rising costs.
Traceability and compliance pressure: With the increasingly strict standards of GMP and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, almost stringent digital requirements have been put forward for the purity, uniformity, and foreign matter control of medicinal materials.
OurSort Solution: Empowering Technology, Guarding Medicinal Properties
Faced with the above challenges, OurSort integrates multidisciplinary technologies and launches a "comprehensive" intelligent solution:
Multi spectral fusion perception system:
High resolution color imaging: Accurately identify color differences, eliminate color chips and discolored particles.
Specific near-infrared spectroscopy analysis: Non destructive detection of internal moisture and consistency of ingredients in medicinal materials, effectively identifying moldy and insect infested products that are "internally damaged" but have a normal appearance.
Polarized light and laser scanning: Clearly distinguish light impurities such as attached dust, tiny hair, and plastic fibers, and determine the surface glossiness and texture of medicinal materials.
Special AI model library for traditional Chinese medicine:
We have established specialized identification models covering hundreds of commonly used medicinal herbs, including rhizomes, fruit seeds, flowers and leaves, fungi and algae. The system can autonomously learn the morphological characteristics of medicinal materials from different origins and processing methods, and intelligently distinguish between medicinal and non medicinal parts.
Flexible and precise elimination system:
In response to the differences in density and brittleness of different medicinal herbs, an adjustable spray valve is used to achieve stepless adjustment from gentle blowing to strong removal, while efficiently removing impurities and minimizing physical damage and loss to precious medicinal herbs.
Application achievements: a quantitative leap from "raw materials" to "high-quality products"
Our Sort technology has achieved significant results on the real production lines of our cooperative clients
Ningxia wolfberry: impurity removal rate>99.8%, effectively removing mold, oil fruit, and fruit stem, increasing the yield of high-quality products by 15%.
Huangqi round slices: Non medicinal parts (such as reed heads and roots) and fragments are accurately removed, and the uniformity of slices is significantly improved.
Fuling Ding: efficiently separates impurities with similar specific gravity such as sawdust and sediment, with a purity of over 99.5%.
Honeysuckle: Accurately separates branches and leaves, opens excessive flower buds and discolored flowers under high-speed operation, maintaining the integrity of flower shape.
Cassia seed: removes sediment, dried grains, and discolored seeds, with a purity that meets the standards of high-end decoction pieces.
Customer Testimony and Industry Value
The introduction of OurSort intelligent color selection line is a crucial step in our construction of a digital traditional Chinese medicine factory. "The production manager of a domestic traditional Chinese medicine enterprise said, "It not only replaces manual labor, but more importantly, establishes stable and traceable quality control nodes. Now, the purity of each batch of our feed has data guarantee, laying a solid foundation for the stability of the subsequent extraction process and the uniformity of the quality of the finished medicine
Future prospects: Building an intelligent sorting ecosystem for the entire industry chain of traditional Chinese medicine
OurSort will continue to deepen its involvement in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, collaborating closely with research institutions and leading enterprises, and committed to:
Expand and refine the model library: covering more rare and niche medicinal herbs.
Digitization of grading standards: Transforming traditional "experience grading" into executable "data parameters".
Industrial chain traceability linkage: Integrate sorting data into the intelligent traditional Chinese medicine cloud platform, providing a key data pivot for the full process quality traceability of medicinal materials from origin to finished products.
We believe that the mission of technology is to serve the most fundamental health needs of humanity. OurSort is willing to become a trusted partner in the modernization, standardization, and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine through innovative technology, and jointly safeguard this millennium old wisdom of life.
