Food and beverage manufacturing
SpectroSens offers significant advantages for quality control and process measurement in the food and beverage industry.
Food and drink manufacturers conventionally use refractive index (RI) measurements to determine sugar concentrations as part of their quality control processes. SpectroSens sensors can more precisely monitor RI, as well as giving other information offering significant improvements for food and drink processing over other technologies.
SpectroSens’ specific benefits for the food and beverage industries include:
- more accurate RI measurements than current technologies.
- robust self-referenced chips which deliver results in real-time.
- multiple measurement points can be networked across a wide area using standard optical cable to a single readout unit. This enables cost-effective multiple point sensing throughout the production plant.
- simultaneous multiple discrete readings for more reliable measurement and detection.
- eliminating the need for batch testing in laboratories by providing highly-accurate in-line process control.
- immunity to electro-magnetic interference and unaffected by signal noise from other equipment.
