The OPV system identifies printed markings and pill color, while also supporting pill annotation and funnel detection.
Color images are saved in your pharmacy management system, giving you a quick visual reference for easy documentation, verification, and follow-up.
The Eyecon 9430 comes equipped with the color camera technology OPV requires.
New OPV feature on the Eyecon 9430 provides real-time visual analysis of every pill before a prescription leaves the pharmacy
"Patient safety is at the center of everything we do. OPV gives pharmacies a smarter, faster way to verify every fill with confidence," said William Tuft, Product Manager at Eyecon. "This isn't a replacement for the pharmacist's judgment. It's a tool that supports it."
How OPV Works
Built into the Eyecon 9430's existing count process, OPV analyzes every pill as it is dispensed and flags discrepancies immediately for staff review. The system checks for variations in size, shape, and color, scans printed markings to confirm medication identity, and detects pills remaining in the funnel that could mix into a subsequent fill. Visual alerts notify staff in real time, and medication training integrates seamlessly into the normal Eyecon workflow.
"What makes OPV especially powerful is its ability to distinguish even pills that look nearly identical in size," said Tuft. "That's exactly the kind of scenario where errors can slip through undetected, and where OPV adds real value."
Each fill generates a color image record stored directly in the pharmacy management system, creating a clear audit trail. Override capabilities can be configured to give pharmacies control over exceptions while maintaining full visibility into override activity.
Key Benefits
OPV goes beyond standard size-and-shape detection by adding color analysis and imprint recognition. These capabilities are especially critical in return-to-stock dispensing, where visually similar pills from different drugs may be handled in close proximity. The feature is compatible with over 30 pharmacy management systems.
"We designed OPV to fit into a pharmacy’s existing ecosystem and support the process the pharmacy already has without adding complexity," said Tuft. "Activation takes minutes, and from that point forward every count becomes an intelligent verification process."

OPV is available now as a subscription add-on for all Eyecon 9430 units, which include the required color camera hardware. Pharmacies can activate the feature through the Eyecon Portal at eyeconvpc.com or by contacting the sales team at (866) 260-6540.
