Smartphones & Wearables
Chip scale spectrometers can disappear into smartphones and wearables. Their full potential is reached with the best possible illumination source. 4K-MEMS emitters integrate seamlessly with today’s smallest spectrometers, enabling novel methods to track your workout by monitoring hydration levels and lactate concentration on the go.
Embedded Spectroscopy
Identifying and analysing the materials and contamination allow machines to make smarter decisions.
Examples include smarter robo-cleaners, reactive washing machines, and optimized process control systems. Critical information is generated where and when it is needed.
Environmental Monitoring
Infrared gas sensing technology plays a vital role in environmental monitoring of gases, water, and soil. By utilizing the specific absorption properties by different molecules, infrared sensors can detect and quantify a wide range of chemicals present in the environment.
These sensors can be deployed in industrial settings to monitor the emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, methane, and volatile organic compounds, helping to identify potential sources of contamination.
Machine Vision
Imaging hardware combined with a powerful AI software (or softwares?) enables in-line quality control. Robots can see beyond the visible spectrum, thereby identifying defects and hazards, improving yield, optimizing production processes, and preventing harm.
Robotic harvesters can identify food quality as it is picked and packaged, adding value and minimizing waste. Automated plastic sorters can distinguish between the large variants of plastics , enabling the efficient recycling needed to build a sustainable economy.
Material Research
The patented 4K-MEMS technology can be used to study materials in new ways.
Understanding how heat, mechanics, and light interact gives us insights into material science and new tools to optimize new materials development.
Medical & Pharma
Infrared (IR) technology is transforming medical applications by enabling non-invasive diagnostics, health monitoring, and enhanced safety. In skin health, IR can detect subtle changes, supporting early diagnosis, while in diagnostics, IR spectroscopy provides rapid disease detection through biomarker analysis. Wearable IR sensors monitor vital signs in real time, offering personalized care. Additionally, IR helps verify medication authenticity, ensuring patient safety by detecting counterfeit drugs.
