Flexible process monitoring

The monitoring requirements are as diverse as the manufacturing processes themselves. Using NIR and Raman spectrometers for process control, can help to understand the entire process and design it in such a way that ensures it runs safely and efficiently.

Our MicroNIR PAT (NIR) and Process Guardian (Raman) in-line process spectrometers are designed for permanent installation. They are extremely robust, able to withstand pressure, temperature and harsh chemicals, and are suitable for industrial applications. Results are available in microseconds, enabling real-time monitoring, while ultra-low detection limits allow for ppm-level analysis. ATEX-, multiplex and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant versions are, of course, available. Modern interfaces, such as OPC-UA, facilitate integration with customers' process control systems.

The TruScan RM handheld Raman analyser is a smart, portable solution for at-line process control on drawn samples or through a sight glass. It can be used to carry out quantitative PLS analyses as well as quantitative PCA tests. This makes analytical capabilities that were previously only available in laboratories accessible directly on the production line.

analyticon assists in assessing the feasibility of analytical issues. For example, we can conduct trial measurements in our laboratory or on-site at your premises.

For more detailed studies or the development of a complete chemometric model, we collaborate with partners who are leading experts in this field, such as S-PACT in Aachen or LabCognition in Cologne.
This package ensures the successful implementation of PAT.
