Overview
This service supports companies that are developing non-destructive spectral (NDS) instrumentation for agri-food applications, providing validation studies focused on spectral repeatability, signal-to-noise ratio, and quality assessment. Using a well-equipped sensor lab, the service includes comparisons with commercially available instruments and access to a referenced agri-food sample bank. By conducting repeatability and performance assessments, clients gain insights into device robustness and potential design improvements.
More about the service
How can the service help you?
This service assists device manufacturers in refining their NDS instruments by offering a comprehensive evaluation of signal stability and quality in varying environmental conditions. It provides data-driven insights to support performance optimisation, contributing to the development of reliable and competitive spectral devices for the agri-food sector, which can enhance the marketability of their spectral technology.
How the service will be delivered
The service is conducted in a lab facility in Spain, where devices provided by the customer under development are tested for spectral accuracy and repeatability. Deliverables include performance reports, comparative assessments with commercial devices, and recommendations for performance enhancements. Clients may also request access to a sample bank for targeted evaluation studies.
Service customisation
Customisation options include selecting specific types of agri-food samples or environmental conditions for testing, as well as tailored performance metrics. Additional testing of signal-to-noise ratio can be conducted upon request.
