Hyperspectral and Spectrometer Testing for Agri-Food Product Quantification

Lab-scale testing of hyperspectral and spectrometer technologies for agri-food technologies.

Overview

This service offers pilot testing of hyperspectral and spectrometer technologies to evaluate their potential for non-destructive, at- or inline analysis in agri-food processing. Using VIS and NIR hyperspectral cameras and spectrometers, we conduct lab-scale measurements to assess the feasibility of these technologies for your specific products or applications, such as quality control or process monitoring. Based on the collected data and reference samples, we build statistical and machine learning-based chemometric models to quantify key properties. Additionally, we offer resampling services to explore the integration of multispectral devices, whether existing or custom-built, into your production processes for optimised performance.

> Offer pilot testing with VIS and NIR hyperspectral cameras to determine the added value of adding hyperspectral data
> Build chemometric models based on measurements and reference data useful for determining product quality in real-time
> Resampling to explore integration of alternative multispectral devices into your production processes

We set up lab-scale testing using VIS or NIR hyperspectral cameras and spectrometers to capture detailed spectral data. The measurements are conducted in a controlled environment in our “Hyperspectral Tech Lab” facility to ensure accuracy and reliability.After data collection, we analyse the results and build chemometric models using statistical and machine learning techniques.

If needed, data is resampled to evaluate the feasibility of using less complex multispectral devices in a field setting.Finally, a comprehensive report with the findings and recommendations will be provided, along with ongoing support for integrating the results into your production processes. The exact timeline depends on the required size of the dataset and the type of data.

We tailor the service by adjusting the type of hyperspectral cameras (VIS or NIR) and spectrometers used based on the specific characteristics of your product or application, such as quality control, process monitoring, or chemical composition analysis. Additionally, the service allows for customisation in data analysis, where we can develop chemometric models that meet your specific criteria and perform resampling to explore the potential use of existing or custom-built multispectral devices for future integration into your processing environment.
