XIAC Australia

OEM Solutions: Custom Tablet & Capsule Counting Technology

XIAC Australia develops specialised technology for OEM machine builders and integrators in the tablet and capsule counting industry. From tailor-made sensors to complete control systems, XIAC can supply practical, field-proven solutions for new machine designs, retrofit platforms, and specialised counting applications.

More than 25 years of tablet counting experience: XIAC combines hands-on machine knowledge, sensor development, embedded electronics, and real production experience. XIAC already supplies OEM-style technology and custom solutions to customers in markets including India and the United Kingdom.

Technology for machine builders

OEM projects are different from standard spare parts or machine upgrades. The goal is not simply to replace an old component, but to create a technology package that fits the machine builder’s mechanical layout, control philosophy, service model, and market requirements.

Tailor-made sensor systems

  • Custom tablet and capsule detection modules
  • 1 to 16+ counting channels per module
  • Mechanical formats to suit new or existing machine layouts
  • Dust-resistant detection and automatic calibration
  • Advanced diagnostics and channel health feedback

Suitable for OEMs who want a specialised detection system without developing the full sensor platform themselves.

Tailor-made control systems

  • Counting head control and synchronisation
  • Vibratory tray and product flow control
  • Separator flap validation and reject timing support
  • PLC, HMI, embedded controller or hybrid architectures
  • EtherCAT, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP or MultiLink connectivity

From sensor-only integration to complete control architecture, depending on what the OEM wants to keep in-house.

With or without Hybrid Counting technology

XIAC can provide OEM solutions based on conventional tablet counting layouts, or with integrated Hybrid Counting technology where higher output is required for small tablets or capsules.

This allows OEMs to choose the level of technology integration that best suits their market, machine cost, and production goals.

Accurate counting starts with accurate detection

Achieving 100% count accuracy begins long before a product is counted. The first requirement is a tablet detection system capable of reliably detecting every tablet or capsule that passes through the counting channel.

No counting algorithm, PLC or validation system can compensate for products that were never detected in the first place. Reliable detection is therefore the foundation upon which accurate counting is built.

At XIAC, counting accuracy is approached as a chain of reliable technologies. Every stage, from optical detection through to final bottle validation, must operate with the same level of confidence.

Bottle Validation

This is why XIAC sensor and controller platforms are developed together: the sensor must detect the product, the control system must validate the event, and the counting logic must convert that detection into a reliable bottle count.

Advanced Tablet Detection System

XIAC’s latest detection platform is more than a basic optical sensor. It is designed as a configurable detection system with built-in validation and diagnostic capability.

Integrated validation features

  • Integrated Product Simulator
  • Integrated Audit Counter
  • Long-run performance testing support
  • Threshold and detection margin validation

Configurable detection behaviour

  • Advanced detection parameters
  • Channel-specific calibration and diagnostics
  • Dust and signal stability compensation
  • Operator-accessible settings where appropriate

What XIAC can supply

OEM support can range from a single specialised module to a complete technology package.

Typical OEM applications

Independent, specialised, practical

XIAC is not a general-purpose electronics design house. The focus is deliberately narrow: tablet counting, capsule counting, pharmaceutical packaging sensors, and machine control. That focus allows XIAC to provide technology that is practical to install, practical to support, and designed around the problems that actually occur in production.

Next step: If you are developing a new tablet or capsule counting machine, or want to integrate XIAC sensor or control technology into your own platform, contact us with your machine concept, target channel count, preferred control interface, and the level of integration you require.
